🌈 Give each calculation a meaning
An addition and subtraction worksheet for SR KG helps children connect number sentences with actions and quantities. UKG and SR KG refer to the same stage in many Indian schools. Begin with small numbers that children can model using counters, toys or drawings. This page combines addition and subtraction story sums with an online quiz and ten interactive games, using quantities within ten.
➕ Join groups and count on
Addition can show two parts being joined or more objects being added to a starting group. Keep both parts visible, combine them and count the total. When a child is ready, count on from the starting quantity instead of recounting everything. For example, start at four and make three extra counts: five, six, seven. Explore more examples in SR KG addition worksheets with story sums.
➖ Take away, compare and find a missing part
Subtraction can describe taking objects away, finding the difference between two groups or finding an unknown part of a whole. Act out the situation before writing a number sentence. If eight counters are split into five and an unknown part, removing or covering five reveals three. Use subtraction worksheets with story sums for additional practice.
📖 Understand the whole story
Read a story sum aloud and ask what is there at first, what changes and what the question asks. Avoid deciding from a single word such as more or give. A gift might increase the receiver’s amount while decreasing the giver’s amount, so the viewpoint matters. Children can move objects to show the change and then explain what their answer counts.
🧩 Connect parts, wholes and equality
Related addition and subtraction facts describe the same parts and whole. If four and five make nine, nine take away four leaves five. The equals sign means that both sides have the same value. Include zero naturally: adding or removing no objects leaves the quantity unchanged. Support these ideas with number comparison activities and before after and between numbers worksheets for SR KG.
✏️ Combine printable and online practice
Use the existing download option on this page for the addition and subtraction worksheet. The online activities offer bus stories, part-whole counters, operation sorting, number-line moves and a story maker. An adult can read prompts and review writing on the red-and-black tracing board.

💬 SR KG Addition Subtraction and Story Sums FAQs
How do I teach addition and subtraction to an SR KG child?
Use small groups of real objects. Join groups to model addition, remove objects to model taking away, and connect each action with a number sentence.
What are addition and subtraction story sums?
They are short situations that ask children to reason about quantities. An adult can read the story while the child acts it out with counters or drawings.
How can I help a child choose addition or subtraction?
Discuss what is known, what changes and what must be found. Model the full situation rather than relying on one keyword.
What is counting on?
Keep the starting number in mind and count forward for the amount being added. For 4 + 3, the three extra counts are five, six and seven.
Can subtraction mean more than taking away?
Yes. It can also find a difference between quantities or an unknown part of a whole. Use pictures and matching objects to make the meaning clear.
What does the equals sign mean?
It means the amounts or expressions on both sides have the same value. For example, 4 + 3 = 5 + 2 because both sides equal seven.
What happens when zero is added or subtracted?
Adding zero or subtracting zero leaves the starting quantity unchanged.
Should children memorise facts before using objects?
Objects and drawings help children understand what the facts mean. Gradually encourage recall and efficient counting as their understanding develops.
What are related addition and subtraction facts?
They use the same parts and whole. For example, 4 + 5 = 9, 5 + 4 = 9, 9 − 4 = 5 and 9 − 5 = 4 are connected.
Where can I download the worksheet with story sums?
