About These Kindergarten Word Problems

These free kindergarten word problem worksheets pair a short, simple sentence with a picture that shows the exact objects in the problem, so pre-readers can count along instead of relying on reading alone. Each worksheet mixes counting (“how many are there?”), addition (joining two groups), and subtraction (taking some away) using friendly everyday objects. Numbers stay in the kindergarten range so children can count every object on the page. Print a worksheet for morning work, a math center, or homework, or download the PDF to keep a clean copy. Every set includes an answer key for quick checking.
