Adding 4 Single Digit Numbers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed for practicing vertical subtraction with single-digit numbers. The problems are presented in a clear, organized format, with each subtraction pair placed one above the other within individual boxes. There is space provided beneath each problem for the student to write their answer, and the worksheet includes a space at the top for the student’s name, indicating that it is likely intended for classroom use or homework.

The purpose of the worksheet is to teach students the basics of single-digit subtraction in a vertical format. Through these exercises, students learn to subtract smaller numbers from larger ones, which is an essential arithmetic skill. The layout helps students understand the concept of taking away and prepares them for more advanced subtraction that involves borrowing. This type of practice is crucial for developing a solid foundation in mathematics and for building the students’ confidence and proficiency in subtraction.

We would recommend that you begin this skill by working with the sequential method.

Add the numbers one by one, starting with the first two and then adding the result to the next number, and so on.

• Example: 3 + 4 + 2 + 7
• First, add 3 + 4 = 7
• Next, add 7 + 2 = 9
• Finally, add 9 + 7 = 16
