Addition Worksheet Generator

Build addition practice that matches exactly where your class is. Set the number range, decide whether problems carry into the next column, and choose stacked or single-line layout. Every sheet comes with an optional answer key, and you can make as many as you like.

  • Single, double or triple digit sums
  • Force carrying on, off, or leave it mixed
  • Vertical column layout or horizontal number sentences
  • Answer key on separate pages or printed onto the sheet

How to get the most from these worksheets

A few things worth knowing before you print a stack of them.

Start without carrying

Children meeting written addition for the first time cope far better when no column carries. Set regrouping to “Never” for the first few weeks, then switch to “Always” so they meet carrying deliberately rather than by accident. Mixing both too early is the most common reason a child stalls.

Vertical or horizontal?

Horizontal number sentences (7 + 4 = __) test recall of number facts. Vertical columns test the written method. They are different skills, so it is worth printing both rather than assuming one covers the other.

Keep the sheet short

Twenty well-chosen problems beat fifty repetitive ones. If a child can do ten in a row correctly, more of the same teaches nothing — move the difficulty up instead.

What makes this different

Genuinely unlimited

No monthly cap and no premium tier. Make fifty worksheets in an afternoon if you need to.

Nothing is uploaded

Questions, names and PDFs are all built in your browser. No worksheet content is ever sent to a server.

Several exercises per sheet

Combine arithmetic, tracing and a quiz on one page instead of printing three separate worksheets.

Edit every question

Retype any question, replace just one, or delete it — your edits survive when you change the settings.

Frequently asked questions

Is this addition worksheet generator really free?

Yes — completely, with no monthly limit and no account. You can generate and download as many worksheets as you want.

Can I control whether the problems need carrying?

Yes. Set regrouping to “Never” for sums that never carry, “Always” so every problem carries, or leave it on “Allow either” for a mix.

Can I get an answer key?

Yes. Choose “Extra pages” to append the key after the worksheet, or “Filled in” to print the answers onto the sheet itself as a worked example.

Will the same worksheet print the same way twice?

Yes, if you turn on the worksheet code in the footer. That short code lets you rebuild the identical sheet later.
