This image is a worksheet titled "Counting members of groups," designed to help children practice counting. The task is to count the number of dots in each rectangular box and write the total in the blank square below it.
I will solve this problem by examining each row and column, counting the dots in each box, and then providing the complete solution.
Step 1: Analyze the first row
-
First box (top-left): Contains 1 dot.
-
Second box (top-middle): Contains 5 dots.
-
Third box (top-right): Contains 2 dots.
Step 2: Analyze the second row
-
First box (middle-left): Contains 4 dots.
-
Second box (center): Contains 5 dots.
-
Third box (middle-right): Contains 1 dot.
Step 3: Analyze the third row
-
First box (bottom-left of top half): Contains 3 dots.
-
Second box (bottom-middle of top half): Contains 6 dots.
-
Third box (bottom-right of top half): Contains 2 dots.
Step 4: Analyze the fourth row
-
First box (top-left of bottom half): Contains 5 dots + 1 dot = 6 dots.
-
Second box (center-bottom): Contains 6 dots.
-
Third box (top-right of bottom half): Contains 5 dots.
Step 5: Analyze the fifth row
-
First box (bottom-left): Contains 2 dots + 3 dots = 5 dots.
-
Second box (bottom-center): Contains 2 dots + 1 dot = 3 dots.
-
Third box (bottom-right): Contains 1 dot + 4 dots = 5 dots.
Final Answer:
The completed worksheet with the correct counts for each box is as follows:
-
Row 1: 1, 5, 2
-
Row 2: 4, 5, 1
-
Row 3: 3, 6, 2
-
Row 4: 6, 6, 5
-
Row 5: 5, 3, 5
Each number corresponds to the total count of dots in the respective box above it. This exercise reinforces basic counting skills and number recognition for young learners.
