How it works

Each domino addition worksheet prints drawn tiles to add: count the dots on both ends and write the total. The page opens on double-six tiles with sums to 12, eight to a page.

Read the full guide

Which tiles to print

A double-six set has 28 tiles, one for every pair of ends from blank to six, so its sums stop at 12. A double-nine set has 55 tiles and reaches 9 + 9 = 18. Start with Small dominoes: sums within 6, move to the opening sheet, then to Double-nine dominoes: sums to 18.

Dice, and what comes after the sum

For a dice addition worksheet choose Two dice: add the dots, sums to 12 or Three dice: sums to 18. A die has no blank face, so every number is at least 1. Turn the tile round: 5 + 2 and 2 + 5 shows that the order does not change the total.

Real dominoes help: have the child find each tile in the box and lay it on the sheet.
A blank end is a zero. Dominoes with a blank end: add zero has one on every tile.

Questions and answers

What is an addition with dominoes worksheet?

A sheet of drawn domino tiles with a line for the sum under each. The child counts the dots on one end, counts on across the other and writes the total, or on some sheets the whole number sentence.

What grade is domino addition for?

Kindergarten for sums within 10 and first grade beyond: Common Core 1.OA.6 has first graders add within 20, which covers every double-nine tile. The dots let a child who cannot yet recall a fact count it.

Are these free printable domino math worksheets?

Yes. Every sheet is free to print as often as you like, with new tiles each time you press Make a new sheet. The answer key prints on its own page; untick Answer key to leave it out.

Why do the dots sit in the same pattern every time?

Real dominoes and dice use fixed patterns, and the spots from one to six sit on a tile as they do on a die. Once a pattern is familiar, a child can name it without counting each dot.

Double-six dominoes, sums to 12 6

Count every dot on the domino No plus sign at all: the line under each tile reads ___ in all. A tile with 4 dots and 5 dots has 4 + 5 = 9 in all. For a child who is not yet reading number sentences.
Dominoes with a blank end: add zero Every tile has one blank end, so each problem adds zero: 4 + 0 = 4, or 0 + 4 = 4 when the blank is on the left. The total is always the number of dots on the other end.
Double-six dominoes: add the two ends, sums to 12 The sheet the page opens on: eight tiles from a double-six set, each with its sum underneath. A tile with 3 dots and 6 dots reads 3 + 6 = 9. Ends run from blank to six, so some tiles add zero and the largest total is 12.
Small dominoes: sums within 6 Only tiles with six dots or fewer in all, such as 2 + 3 = 5. With so few dots a child can count every one, which makes this the sheet to start on before the full set.
Twelve double-six dominoes to a page The opening sheet with smaller tiles, twelve to the page, for a child who is already quick: 6 + 5 = 11. Ends still run from blank to six and totals from 0 to 12.
Write the whole number sentence for a domino Nothing is printed under the tile but three blanks. The child counts each end and writes all three numbers: for 5 dots and 2 dots, 5 + 2 = 7. No end is blank on this sheet.

Double-nine dominoes, sums to 18 4

Big ends only: tiles with a 7, 8 or 9 The left end of every tile has 7, 8 or 9 dots, the ends a double-six set does not have: 7 + 5 = 12. Start from the big end and count on across the other.
Dominoes that make 10 Every tile has ten dots in all, and the child writes the sentence: 3 + 7 = 10. The pairs that make ten are worth knowing by heart before sums cross ten.
Double-nine dominoes: sums to 18 Tiles from the larger set, whose ends go up to nine dots: 8 + 7 = 15. Totals reach 9 + 9 = 18, so these are the addition facts past 10 with every dot there to count.
Double-nine dominoes: write the number sentence Three blanks under each double-nine tile. For 6 dots and 9 dots the child writes 6 + 9 = 15. Counting nine dots takes care, which is the practice, and totals run from 2 to 18.

Dice 4

Three dice: sums to 18 Three dice in a row and three numbers to add: 4 + 4 + 6 = 14. Look for an easy pair first, here 4 + 6 = 10. Six problems fit a page, and totals run from 3 to 18.
Two dice with small totals, sums to 7 The same two dice, but only rolls that total 7 or less, such as 2 + 4 = 6. Use it first: every sum can be counted on the fingers of two hands.
Two dice: add the dots, sums to 12 Two dice side by side with their sum underneath: 4 + 6 = 10. A die has no blank face, so both numbers are at least 1 and totals run from 2 to 12.
Two dice: write the number sentence Three blanks under each pair of dice. The child reads both dice and writes the whole sentence, 5 + 3 = 8, just as after a real roll. Either die can show the larger number.

Turn the tile, fill the gap, take away 3

Fill the gap in the sentence: 5 + ___ = 7 The sentence under the tile has its second number missing. The tile shows 5 dots and 2 dots, so 5 + 2 = 7 and the gap is 2. A first missing addend, with the answer in the picture.
Take one end away from the whole tile: 7 − 5 = ___ A subtraction read off an addition tile. The tile with 5 dots and 2 dots has 7 in all, because 5 + 2 = 7. Cover the 5 and 2 are left, which is the answer the line under the tile asks for.
Turn the tile round: 5 + 2 and 2 + 5 One tile, read from each end: 2 + 5 = 7 and 5 + 2 = 7. The dots do not change when the tile is turned, so the total cannot. The two ends are never the same on this sheet.

How this list was compiled: Sheet types, wording and worked examples are own work; every worked example was computed twice by script on 2026-09-30. What a domino set holds was checked the same day in Wikipedia, Dominoes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominoes, CC BY-SA 4.0): a double-six set has one tile for each pair of ends from blank to six, 28 tiles in all, a double-nine set has 55, and a tile with both ends the same is called a double. Grades were checked in 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): K.OA.2 (add within 10), 1.OA.3 (if 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known) and 1.OA.6 (add within 20).
