MathSheetGo · Sheet #1289Please review before classroom use

These worksheets add two 2-digit numbers without regrouping. In every problem, the ones digits add to less than 10, so students can add the ones and tens columns independently without carrying. That makes the page a focused bridge between basic addition facts and the full column method.

The problems change when you generate a new sheet, but the rule stays the same. Use the sheet number to reproduce an exact version for another class, absent student or answer review.

When to use it

Use this page after students are comfortable with addition facts within 20 and can identify tens and ones. It fits an introductory lesson on column addition, independent practice before carrying is introduced, a short homework assignment or a quick check for place-value alignment.

Teaching tips

  • Ask students to line up ones under ones and tens under tens before calculating.
  • Read a problem by place value: 24 + 35 means 2 tens plus 3 tens and 4 ones plus 5 ones.
  • Let students use base-ten blocks first, then draw tens sticks and ones dots before moving to numerals only.
  • Have students estimate with the tens digits so they can notice an answer that is much too large or small.
  • When accuracy is steady, mix in regrouping problems so students must decide whether a carry is needed.

How to print this worksheet

  1. Check the settings above. They are already set for 2-digit addition without regrouping.
  2. Pick 10, 15, 20 or 30 problems, a title, and the name or date lines you want.
  3. Choose US Letter or A4 to match the paper in your printer.
  4. Press Download PDF for a file you can save and reuse, or Print to send it straight to your printer.
  5. Keep the answer key page for yourself. The sheet number in the footer lets you make the exact same sheet again later.

What comes next

Move to 2-digit addition with regrouping when students can keep columns aligned and add accurately without carrying. Later, use 3-digit addition without regrouping to extend the same place-value routine into the hundreds column.

Frequently asked questions

Is every problem guaranteed to avoid regrouping?
Yes. The ones digits always total 9 or less, and the tens column does not create a carry into the hundreds.
What is the difference between regrouping and carrying?
They describe the same written step. Regrouping explains the place-value idea: ten ones are exchanged for one ten. Carrying is the traditional name for writing that extra ten in the next column.
How can I make the worksheet shorter?
Choose 10 or 15 problems. You can also switch to one column to give students more space for written work.
