Addition Worksheet Generator
Make a printable addition sheet with an answer key, from single digits to carrying, ready as a PDF in seconds. Free in your browser, no sign-up.
What is an addition worksheet generator?
An addition worksheet generator builds a sheet of addition problems for you, so you never write them by hand. This addition worksheet maker adds two or three numbers per problem, picks each number at random from the digit size or range you choose, and sets the problems out in neat rows. You decide whether the sums carry. It draws an answer key in red too. Set the numbers, download the PDF, and print it. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
When do you use an addition worksheet?
Whenever students need more practice with sums at exactly their level. Three moments where a fresh sheet beats a premade one:
Daily warm-ups and review
Print a new sheet each morning for the first five minutes of class. Every sheet has different numbers, so students practice the skill instead of copying yesterday's answers, and the key lets you check the stack fast.
Teaching carrying step by step
Start with sums that never carry, such as 42 + 35, then move to sums that always carry, such as 47 + 25. When students are ready, mix the two. Each stage gets its own sheet with its own key.
Homework and intervention
Set the digits to the size your class is working on and send home a sheet that matches. For a student who is behind, drop to one digit and print fewer, larger problems. The key lets a parent check it in a minute.
Core features of
an addition worksheet generator
A good worksheet tool lets you set the size of the numbers, then gives you a clean sheet. Here is what this one does, from the first setting to the printed page.
Choose digits for each number
Pick two or three numbers per problem. Each number has its own menu with 1 to 5 digits, so a sheet can add a two-digit number to a one-digit number. The title on the sheet changes to match your choice.
- Two or three numbers per problem
- One to five digits for each number
- Title updates as you choose
Set a custom number range
Choose Custom range on any number and type the lowest and highest value, up to 9,999,999. Use it for sums within 20, hundreds only, or any set of numbers your standards call for.
- Type a lowest and highest value
- A separate range for each number
- Values up to 9,999,999
Control carrying
The Carrying setting has three choices: Mixed, None, and Always. A hint under it shows an example, such as 42 + 35 for no carrying. Choose None to teach the basics, Always to drill regrouping.
- None, Always, or a mix of both
- A hint with a sample problem
- A note if the numbers can't comply
An answer key for every sheet
Switch between the Worksheet and the Answer Key. The key shows the same sums with every answer written in red. Press New Problems for a different set with the same settings.
- Every answer in red
- New Problems gives fresh numbers
- The key always matches the sheet
Download the PDF or print it
The Worksheet and Answer Key download buttons give you two PDFs. Print sends the sheet to the printer. Choose US Letter or A4, set 1 to 100 problems, and pick vertical or horizontal.
- Two PDFs: the worksheet and the key
- US Letter or A4 paper
- Vertical or horizontal problems
How to make
an addition worksheet
Five steps from a blank page to a stack of sheets, and most of the time goes to choosing the numbers.
Pick two or three numbers
Under Numbers per problem, choose 2 or 3. The title on the sheet changes to match, such as "Adding Three 2-Digit Numbers", until you type your own.
Choose the digits
Open the menu for each number and pick 1 to 5 digits, or choose Custom range to type a lowest and highest value. Use a mix to add a big number to a small one.
Set the carrying
Choose Mixed, None, or Always under Carrying. The hint shows a sample problem. Then set How many, the format, and the problems per row. The directions read "Find each sum." until you edit them.
Press New Problems for another
Press New Problems for different numbers with the same settings. Switch to Answer Key to check the red answers. Do it as often as you like.
Download or print
Choose US Letter or A4, then download the Worksheet for the students and the Answer Key for yourself. Or press Print to send the sheet to the printer.
That's the whole worksheet
Choose the digits and the carrying once, then print as many different sheets as you need. The generator is at the top of this page.

Get Started for FreeMore than a worksheet template
A premade sheet has fixed numbers and one answer key. This one builds new sums from your settings, controls carrying, and gives you the key. It runs in any browser, including a locked-down school laptop.
Three numbers per problem
Switch from two numbers to three for column addition with a longer stack. Each number keeps its own digit setting.
Sums that carry, or never do
Pick None or Always and every problem follows the rule. If the numbers can't allow it, a note tells you how many problems break it.
A title, directions, and Name and Date
The title follows your settings, such as "2-Digit Addition". Edit it and the directions on the page. The Name and Date row switches off in one click.
US Letter or A4
Pick the paper you print on and the page is laid out for it. The worksheet and the answer key are two separate PDFs.
Your settings are remembered
Your digits, carrying, and layout stay in this browser, so you can close the tab and pick up later. Nothing is uploaded.
Free, and no watermark
No account, no sign-up, and no logo across the page. The only mark is a small "Made with EMStudio" line in the footer.
Who is the addition worksheet generator for?
Anyone who needs addition practice at the right level and does not want to write the problems. If a premade sheet never matches what your students are on, it is for you.
Classroom teachers
Warm-ups, homework, and review for any grade. Set the digits for your class, print a copy for every student, and keep the answer key for yourself.
Tutors and homeschool parents
Make a sheet for the exact skill a child is working on and print it at the kitchen table. Use single digits for a beginner and larger numbers for an older child.
Special education and intervention teachers
Keep to one digit, choose no carrying, use a large text size, and print only a few problems per row. Build the sheet around what a student still needs.
How EMStudio's addition worksheet generator is different
Many worksheet generators bury the download behind a sign-up, add a logo to the page, or give you no answer key. This one is built by the team behind a full teacher planner, and it treats a worksheet as part of your lesson.
Free, with nothing held back
The full PDF, the answer key, both paper sizes, and printing, all without an account or a daily limit. The only mark on the page is a small "Made with EMStudio" footer line.
An answer key every time
Every sheet comes with its own key, with each answer in red. You never have to add the problems yourself to be sure the page is right.
Part of a full teacher planner
A worksheet is one small part of a lesson. When you are ready, EMStudio's lesson planner holds the rest: every class's lessons on a weekly calendar, beside your students, grades, and attendance.
