Addition Within 10
Free printable addition within 10 worksheets for kindergarten. Both numbers from 0 to 5, twenty problems a page, with an optional answer key.
Kindergarten addition, kept deliberately small: both numbers run from 0 to 5, so every sum lands at 10 or below and the whole problem can be worked by counting on fingers. Twenty problems fit on a page - a full sitting for this age without being a page a five-year-old gives up on.
One operation only. A sheet that switched between adding and taking away would be asking for a distinction kindergarten has not drawn yet. When these are steady, Subtraction Within 10 is the next page, and Addition and Subtraction Within 20 is where first grade picks up.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the numbers only go up to 5?
Adding within 5 is the kindergarten fluency goal, and staying there means every problem can be checked on fingers. Raise it by ticking more numbers in either range.
Is twenty problems too many?
It is about right for a sitting at this age. If it is too long, switch Half Page on in the advanced options and each sheet becomes two shorter worksheets to cut apart.
What should a child be able to do before these worksheets?
Count objects up to 10 and say which of two numbers is more. A child who can count out five blocks and three blocks, then count them all together, is ready to see that written as 5 + 3.
Why do some problems add zero?
Because 4 + 0 = 4 is something a kindergartner has to learn: adding nothing leaves the number alone. About a third of the problems include a zero. Untick 0 in both ranges to leave them out.
Where are facts like 7 + 2?
Not on the default sheet. It keeps both numbers at 5 or under, so sums such as 7 + 2 and 6 + 3 are left for later. Ticking 6 to 9 brings them in, along with sums above 10, which is what Addition and Subtraction Within 20 is for.
