17Free Kindergarten Addition Worksheets

Six problems drawn as cinema tickets, the problem on the stub and three answers on the body. Six on a full page means everything is enormous, which is exactly right for a child who is still working out which way round to read an equation. It opens at 1 + 0 and finishes at 2 + 8.

Eight panels, three answers each, and the first three problems all add zero: 3 + 0, then 5 + 0, then 6 + 0. After that it moves along to 1 + 6, 3 + 5, 5 + 4, 3 + 7 and 2 + 6.

Nine numbered cards under a teal banner, three answers apiece. The sums climb in strict order, 2 at the top left through to 10 at the bottom right, so the easy ones come first and the harder ones arrive with some momentum behind them.

Nine problems, four answer boxes each, and a green box colored on the top row as the example. The answers again land in order, 2, 3, 4 and on up to 10, which quietly turns the page into a number line.

Nine problems in a rounded, friendly typeface with four circles to choose between and a yellow example at the top. Doubles turn up three times here, 1 + 1 and 3 + 3 and the near-double 4 + 5.

Nine problems with four boxes each and a blue example already filled in. Three of the nine add zero, 0 + 1 and 0 + 6 and 8 + 0, and 10 appears as an answer choice twice so the number itself stops looking unfamiliar.

Nine problems, four circles apiece, set in a crisp serif with an orange example at the top. It opens at 2 + 0 and 1 + 4 and finishes at 2 + 7 and 5 + 5, so it covers the whole range in one page.

Twelve problems, six to a side, three answers under each. This is the longest of the choose-the-answer pages and the last one before the choices disappear entirely.

Fourteen problems in two columns, one box per answer, and nothing else on the page. No choices any more: the child works out the sum and writes it.

The same fourteen-problem shape with coral answer boxes inside a teal border. Doubles at 4 + 4 and 5 + 5, zero at 5 + 0 and 0 + 6, and pairs like 2 + 7 and 1 + 8 where counting on from the larger number is much faster.

Two smiling bees over the title, a honeycomb in the corner, and fourteen problems underneath with a box for each sum. The pairs are shuffled rather than ordered, so there is no pattern to coast on.

A long-necked dinosaur and a triceratops flank the title, with eggs and footprints along the bottom, all drawn in outline. Fourteen problems run from 2 + 2 and 4 + 1 up to 2 + 8 and 3 + 7.

An owl on a branch and a squirrel with an acorn, over fourteen problems with a box each. 4 + 5 opens the page and 1 + 9 comes straight after, so a child cannot settle into a rhythm and stop reading.

The first stacked page, and the gentlest. Sixteen problems in four rows of four, each with a box under the line, opening with 1 + 1 and 4 + 0.

Twenty stacked problems in four columns, each with a printed box for the answer. Same idea as the page above with four more problems and no decoration at all.

Twenty stacked problems with the answer box taken away, so there is just the line and open space beneath it. Both 8 + 2 and 2 + 8 appear, a quiet way of showing that the order of the two numbers does not change the total.

The last page, and the twin of the one before it: same open-line layout, same twenty problems' worth of work, an entirely different set of pairs. Sums reach ten four times and never go beyond.
