Column addition (with carry)

Column addition (with carry) helps children practise performing column addition when a digit sum exceeds 9 and must be carried to the next place. Read the short guide and look through the examples before choosing online practice or a printable worksheet.

How to solve this

  • Column addition with carrying: when any column sums to 10 or more, write the ones digit and carry the 1 to the next column.
  • Mark each carry clearly above the next column so you don't forget to add it.
  • Check the sum by subtracting one addend from the result — you must get the other addend.
