Each paper has instructions on it, but I've included more details below.

The second worksheet deals with the concept of addition--what it means when they see the "+" symbol.  Have the children look at each problem and decide whether it needs a plus or minus sign.

The third paper is just a fun coloring page for your child or students to enjoy.  The clipart comes from My Cute Graphics, a site that offers clipart for classroom and personal use.  If you're a teacher looking for quality clipart, you need to check it out.  You can find more information on the images I use here.
