Addition Within 10

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.

Are these worksheets free?
