Explore the outdoors while practicing math with this nature-themed addition worksheet!
Children will enjoy counting logs, acorns, pumpkins, flowers, and leaves as they add two groups together and discover the total.
This printable blends early math learning with observation and creativity, helping young learners connect numbers with the natural world.
What’s Inside the Worksheet
Each worksheet includes:
- Five easy addition problems featuring friendly nature objects — logs, acorns, pumpkins, flowers, and leaves
- Clear picture equations that help children see how two groups combine into one total
- A 1–10 number line at the bottom for reference and self-checking
