High Fives Answer Key

About This Worksheet

This worksheet helps your child practice “one more” and “one less” using friendly characters holding numbers. It makes learning feel playful while still focusing on an important math skill. Your child will begin to understand how numbers change by just one. For example, if the number is 5, they will find one more as 6 and one less as 4.

Curriculum and Grade Alignment

This activity is designed for preschool learners building early addition and subtraction ideas. The goal is to help your child feel comfortable moving up and down by one. Your child should already recognize numbers before starting. It supports CCSS K.OA.A.1 and TEKS K.3A.

Student Tasks

On this worksheet, students will look at each character holding a number. They will figure out what one more and one less would be. Your child may write or say the answers depending on how it is used. This gives them repeated practice with number changes.

Common Challenges and Misconceptions

Some children may mix up which number is more and which is less. Others might need extra support counting backward. It’s also common to guess instead of thinking it through. You can help by counting aloud together and checking each answer.

Implementation Guidance

This worksheet works well as a guided activity where you can support your child. You can walk through the first example together to build confidence. Teachers often use this during math review time. At home, you can make it fun by turning it into a “number game.”
