About these worksheets

Single-digit sums are the first written math most children meet, so this sheet keeps everything gentle: 25 problems, large type, plenty of white space, and the familiar vertical layout they’ll use for years. Sums stay within 18 (9 + 9). Pair it with ten frames or a number line so the strategies stay visual while the facts become automatic.

Frequently asked questions

What ages are these addition facts for?

Kindergarten and 1st grade, or any child working on addition facts within 20 for the first time.

Should children count on fingers?

Early on, yes — fingers, counters and ten frames are how the facts get built. Fluency comes from repetition after understanding, not instead of it.

Is there an answer key?

Yes, the identical sheet with answers in blue is below the worksheet.
