Addition worksheets with regrouping, one step at a time
The ladder runs from Step 1: 2-digit plus 1-digit, no regrouping to Step 6: the sum passes 100. Print Step 4: 2-digit plus 2-digit, no regrouping before Step 5, so columns are straight before anything is carried. As regrouping math worksheets, each step adds one new difficulty and nothing else.
Column addition worksheets
Common Core 2.NBT.6 has grade 2 add up to four two-digit numbers, which is the sheet 4 two-digit numbers in a column. Column addition with place value headers sets each problem in a grid headed T and O, and Carry boxes above every column prints an empty box for each carried digit.
Before Step 5, print Estimate to the nearest 10, then add: 58 + 26 is near 90.
Questions and answers
Which are the 5th grade addition worksheets?
5-digit addition with commas, 6-digit addition, under 1,000,000 and 7-digit addition, millions. Common Core asks for fluent whole-number addition in grade 4 (4.NBT.4), so in grade 5 these are review, and 5.NBT.7 moves on to adding decimals.
Is regrouping the same as carrying?
Yes. In 47 + 38 = 85 the ones make 15, so 5 is written and 1 ten moves to the tens column. Carry is still the usual word; some authors prefer trade, and these sheets say regroup.
What grade is 2-digit addition with regrouping?
Grade 2 in the Common Core: 2.NBT.5 asks for fluent adding within 100. Grade 1 meets a 2-digit number plus a 1-digit number or a multiple of 10 (1.NBT.4), which is Steps 1 to 3 of the ladder.
Which 3 number addition worksheets are here?
3 single-digit numbers, sums to 20 for grade 1, then 3 two-digit numbers, 4 two-digit numbers and 3 three-digit numbers, each in a column. In 24 + 38 + 17 = 79 the ones make 19, so 9 is written and 1 ten carried.

Quick sheets by size of sum 4
Quick sheet: sums up to 20Twenty problems side by side with every sum 20 or less and no zeros, such as 8 + 7 = 15 or 13 + 6 = 19. This is the range grade 1 adds in (1.OA.6). For single facts alone, use the single digit page linked under the sheet.
Quick sheet: sums up to 50Stacked problems whose sums stay at 50 or below, such as 27 + 18 = 45. Some regroup and some do not, and the numbers have 1 or 2 digits. It makes a gentle first page of 2-digit work, before the ladder below takes the steps one at a time.
Quick sheet: sums up to 100Twenty stacked problems with sums to 100, such as 56 + 37 = 93, with regrouping mixed in at random. Adding fluently within 100 is the grade 2 goal in the Common Core (2.NBT.5), so this is the page to come back to all through that year.
Quick sheet: sums up to 1,000Twenty stacked problems with sums to 1,000, such as 386 + 547 = 933. Numbers of 1, 2 and 3 digits are mixed, as they are in everyday sums. Common Core 3.NBT.2 and Texas 3.4(A) both set fluency within 1,000 as the grade 3 goal.

The regrouping ladder, 2-digit steps 6
Step 1: 2-digit plus 1-digit, no regroupingThe ones add up to 9 or less, so the tens digit never changes: 42 + 5 = 47. Pupils learn to leave the tens alone and add only the ones. Every later step on the ladder builds on that habit, so give it a page of its own.
Step 2: 2-digit plus 1-digit, crossing a tenThe ones pass 10, so a new ten is made: 47 + 8 = 55. Thinking of it as 47 + 3 + 5 = 50 + 5 = 55 is the make-ten move from single facts, used one floor up. Common Core 1.NBT.4 covers a 2-digit number plus a 1-digit number.
Step 3: 2-digit plus a multiple of 10Only the tens digit changes: 36 + 40 = 76, since 3 tens and 4 tens make 7 tens and the 6 ones stay put. Common Core 1.NBT.4 names this case. It prepares pupils to add the tens and the ones of a 2-digit number separately.
Step 4: 2-digit plus 2-digit, no regroupingEach column adds up to 9 or less: 52 + 36 = 88. Nothing is carried, so the page isolates one skill, which is lining up tens under tens and ones under ones and then adding each column on its own, starting with the ones.
Step 5: 2-digit plus 2-digit, regroup the onesThe ones make more than 9 every time. In 58 + 26 = 84 the ones give 14, so 4 is written and 1 ten is carried.
Step 6: the sum passes 100Both columns regroup and the answer has 3 digits: 76 + 58 = 134. The ones give 14, and the tens give 13 once the carried ten is added. Pupils meet a hundreds digit with nothing printed above it, which needs saying out loud once.
3 and 4 numbers to add 4
3 single-digit numbers, sums to 20Three numbers side by side, with the total never past 20: 7 + 5 + 6 = 18. Common Core 1.OA.2 keeps sums of three numbers within 20 in grade 1. Pupils add the first two, hold the 12 in mind, then add the third number to it.
3 three-digit numbers in a columnThree 3-digit numbers stacked: 245 + 318 + 164 = 727. The ones make 17 and the tens make 12, so there are two carries to keep track of. Eight problems fill the page, with room above each column for the small carried digits.
3 two-digit numbers in a columnThree 2-digit numbers stacked in one column: 24 + 38 + 17 = 79. The ones add to 19, so 9 is written and 1 ten is carried. With three addends the ones can reach 27, so the carried digit can be 2 as well as 1.
4 two-digit numbers in a columnThe longest sum grade 2 is asked for: Common Core 2.NBT.6 and Texas 2.4(B) both say up to four two-digit numbers. In 23 + 45 + 12 + 36 = 116 the ones make 16, and the tens make 11 once the carried ten is counted.
Column addition formats 2
Carry boxes above every columnA small empty box is printed above each column except the ones, ready for the carried digit. In 67 + 85 = 152 the box over the tens gets a 1. Move on to a sheet without boxes once pupils write the small 1 without being told.
Column addition with place value headersEach problem sits in a small grid headed T and O, with one digit to a cell: 57 + 36 = 93. The headers keep tens under tens and ones under ones, and the empty cell above the tens column is where the carried 1 belongs.
Large numbers for grades 4 and 5 3
5-digit addition with commasTwo 5-digit numbers with commas, stacked, 12 to a page: 34,578 + 28,694 = 63,272, where four of the five columns carry. Common Core 4.NBT.4 asks grade 4 to add multi-digit whole numbers fluently using the standard algorithm, and this is that skill at full stretch.
6-digit addition, under 1,000,000Six digits in each number, with the sum kept under 1,000,000: 457,286 + 368,947 = 826,233. A Common Core footnote limits grade 4 to whole numbers up to 1,000,000, so this is the largest sheet that still belongs to that grade.
7-digit addition, millionsNumbers in the millions, 8 problems to a page: 2,345,678 + 1,876,543 = 4,222,221, where six of the seven columns carry. The method is the same as for 2 digits. What gets tested is care over a long column, and the commas help keep the place.
Estimate first 1
Estimate to the nearest 10, then addRound each number to the nearest 10, add the round numbers, then work out the exact sum. For 47 + 32 = 79 the estimate is 50 + 30 = 80, which sits right beside it. An exact answer far from its estimate has a slip in it somewhere.
How this list was compiled: Sheet types, wording and worked examples are own work. Every worked example, and every count of carries in a description, was computed twice by script on 2026-09-19. Standard numbers and the wording taken from them were checked 2026-09-19 against the full text of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (California Department of Education copy, https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/ccssmathstandardaug2013.pdf): 1.OA.2, 1.OA.3, 1.OA.6, 1.NBT.4, 2.NBT.5, 2.NBT.6, 2.NBT.7, 3.OA.8, 3.NBT.1, 3.NBT.2, the footnote that a range of algorithms may be used (it sits on the grade 3 cluster heading, Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic, over 3.NBT.1 to 3.NBT.3, and not on 3.NBT.2 alone; re-read in the same copy on 2026-09-20), 4.NBT.4 and the grade 4 footnote that limits whole numbers to 1,000,000, and 5.NBT.7, which is about decimals; and against the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Mathematics, 19 TAC 111.3 to 111.7, adopted 2012 (https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/ch111a.pdf): 1.3(D), 1.5(G), 2.4(B), 3.4(A), 3.4(B), 4.4(A) and 5.3(K). Checked 2026-09-19 against Wikipedia: carrying in column addition, the note that some authors prefer the word trade and that carry remains the standard term, adding from the largest place first as a quick way to a rough estimate, and making ten, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition ; a carry as a digit moved to the next more significant column, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_(arithmetic) . The sheets follow no single curriculum, and naming a standard here does not mean a sheet is approved by anyone. Licence: own work
