FUN GOLDFISH ADDITION WORKSHEET FOR PRESCHOOLERS
These simple goldfish addition worksheets helps kids learn counting as well as adding skills.
Kids will count different numbered goldfish crackers and practice adding them together. Then, they will also practice writing out their numbers in the answer box.
Preschool Math Worksheet PDF
In this PDF file, there are 10 black and white worksheets with 3 addition problems on every page.
First, kids will need to count and add up the two different numbers of goldfish in the left box.
Each of the goldfish that need to be added are the same size as a regular goldfish cracker and outlined with dashed lines. Kids can place an actual goldfish cracker inside the outlines as they count (this was my son’s favorite part!)
Next, the right column has an empty box for kids to write in their answers.
For little ones who are just learning addition for the first time, they will physically count the number of crackers they put in the left box to come up with the answer.
Over time, they start to remember number combinations such “1 plus 2 is three!” or “3 plus 3 is six” and don’t need to count every single cracker anymore.

Too Many Goldfish Crackers?
Worried the kiddos may be eating so many goldfish crackers that it’s ruining mealtimes? Here’s a few ideas:
- Reuse the same goldfish crackers to complete several worksheets at a time (instead of letting them eat the goldfish after every worksheet)
- Limit the number of goldfish crackers your kids can eat at a time. For example, after completing a worksheet, have the kids count out the number of crackers you are ok with them eating, and just let them eat those instead.
- Give your kid a snack sized pack of goldfish crackers to use to complete a set number of worksheets. After they eat the crackers, there’s no more!
- Or, just use the goldfish crackers as a “counting tool”. Give them a different snack of choice afterwards instead!
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to limit this activity to just goldfish crackers! You can also use cheerios, blueberries, gummy bears, or other small crackers your kids enjoy as a counting tool. Simply put the number you want the kids to add in two separate sections and ask them to add up the two numbers.
You can do this activity at a restaurant while waiting for food, on a plane ride, or pretty much anywhere. You won’t even need to remember to bring the goldfish math worksheets!
