Single Digit Addition Sentences

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the concept of addition with single-digit and two-digit numbers, where some of the problems involve carrying over. The problems are presented in a vertical format, with the addends aligned by place value and blank boxes for the sums to encourage students to write neatly and keep track of their work. The inclusion of some problems where the ones place sums to a number requiring regrouping (carrying) introduces an important mathematical concept. There are thirty problems in total, each clearly numbered, which is ideal for classroom settings where teachers may assign specific problems.

The worksheet is intended to teach students the mechanics of addition with regrouping (carrying). It offers practice in adding numbers where the sum of the ones place is ten or greater, necessitating a carry into the tens place. This skill is crucial as it lays the groundwork for understanding place value and for performing more complex multi-digit addition in the future. Through repeated exercises like these, students develop accuracy and speed in their addition, both with and without the need to regroup.
