WorksheetsAbout this worksheet
This maker writes addition sums for you: choose how big the numbers are, whether the sums need carrying, and how many sums fit on the page. Every press of New sheet gives a fresh set, and the answers print on a separate page.
Start a child with 1 digit sums in a line. Move to 2 digit sums without carrying so that the child learns to add ones to ones and tens to tens. Bring in carrying only when that is steady. Sums written one number under the other train the child to keep the columns straight, which is where most mistakes begin.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Ask the child to say the sum aloud while adding the ones column. Saying "seven and five is twelve, write two, carry one" fixes the habit.
- For carrying, let the child write the small carried 1 above the tens column every time. Skipping it is the most common cause of wrong answers.
- Ten correct sums done calmly teach more than thirty done in a hurry. Use the 12 question sheet for daily practice.
- Time one sheet a week, not every day. Speed should follow accuracy.

Common questions
What is addition with carrying?
When the digits in a column add up to 10 or more, you write the ones digit and carry the tens digit to the next column on the left. For example, in 27 + 15 the ones make 12: write 2, carry 1.
