2 Digit No Regroup Practice Activities
Printable maths drills for practising 2 digit addition without regrouping, using tens and ones accurately in every sum.
Practice that builds confidence
Build place-value addition
These 2 Digit No Regroup practice activities help children build fluency with addition facts where both addends have tens and ones, but no carrying is needed. Learners practise adding the ones column first, then the tens column, while keeping place value clear.
The printable worksheets include straightforward drill-style sums, vertical addition layouts, and space for neat working. They are useful for daily maths practice at home, class revision, remedial support, or quick confidence-building after children understand tens and ones.
In this Mathematics > Math Drills > Addition collection, children work with 2 digit addition without regrouping, such as 23 + 45 or 61 + 18. The key idea is that the ones add to 9 or less, so no digit has to be carried to the tens place. This lets learners focus on accurate column work before moving to regrouping.
What children practise
The activities strengthen recognition of tens and ones, correct alignment of digits, and left-to-right reading of a sum while solving from the ones column. Children see that 34 means 3 tens and 4 ones, and that 34 + 25 becomes 4 + 5 ones and 3 + 2 tens. Repeated examples make the steps feel familiar.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to circle the ones digits in one colour and underline the tens digits in another colour before solving the first few sums. Let them say, “ones first, then tens” aloud. After every row, choose one answer and ask them to explain it using tens and ones, not just the final number.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets as warm-ups, independent drill practice, maths centers, or follow-up after a place-value lesson. They also work well for quick checks: if a child can solve neatly and consistently without regrouping, the class is better prepared for 2 digit addition with regrouping later.
Common errors to watch for
Some children add tens and ones together as if all digits have the same value, turning 24 + 13 into 10 or 37 by guessing. Others misalign columns, especially when rewriting a horizontal sum vertically. Watch for reversed digits, skipped ones, and answers where the tens digit is added before the ones without checking place value.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 2 digit addition without regrouping mean?
It means adding two 2 digit numbers where the ones digits add to 9 or less, so no carrying is needed from the ones place to the tens place.
When should a child practise these worksheets?
Use them after the child understands tens and ones and can add single digit numbers. They are a good step before learning 2 digit addition with regrouping.
Should children solve the ones or tens column first?
For column addition, children should start with the ones column and then add the tens column. This habit prepares them for sums that later require carrying.
How can I help if my child keeps mixing up the columns?
Have your child write numbers in clearly ruled columns, mark ones and tens in different colours, and say the place value aloud before adding.
Are these worksheets only for drill practice?
They are mainly for fluency, but they also reinforce place value, number sense, neat working, and the correct written method for addition.
