Free Printable Addition Charts (0 to 10, 12 and 20)

About these addition chart handouts

An addition chart lists every sum of two numbers in a grid. Students find one addend on the left and the other across the top, and the sum sits where the row and column meet. The chart is a quiet way to show that order does not matter: 3 + 8 and 8 + 3 give the same number.

The 0 to 10 chart suits first grade and early second grade, where fluency within 10 is the goal. The 0 to 12 chart extends facts for second grade review and for students who also use the 12 × 12 multiplication chart. The 0 to 20 chart supports the facts to 20 that many standards expect by the end of second grade.

On every size the pairs that make 10 are shaded. Seeing them as a diagonal line helps students notice that 7 + 3, 6 + 4 and 5 + 5 are all connected, and that the pairs are mirror images of each other.

Print the chart for a desk reference at the start of a unit, then fade it out. Students who first check facts against the chart and then rely on memory tend to move away from counting on their fingers more smoothly.

How to use them

1. Choose the size that matches your students' fact range.
2. Add a title, student name and date if you like.
3. Print one chart per student or laminate a class set.
4. Model one sum on the chart, then let students find three of their own.

Classroom tips

• Have students trace the diagonal that makes 10 with a highlighter and say each pair aloud.
• Ask students to find all sums equal to 12 and describe the pattern.
• Use the chart with the subtraction chart to show that subtraction undoes addition.
• Cover the chart and play a quick fact game, then reveal it to check.

Where the facts come from
