2 Digit Plus 1 Digit No Regroup Practice Activities
Printable maths drills for practising 2-digit plus 1-digit addition where the ones add without regrouping or carrying.
Practice that builds confidence
What this skill builds
Children practise adding a 1-digit number to a 2-digit number without regrouping, such as 23 + 4 or 52 + 6. The focus is on place value: add the ones, keep the tens, and write the sum accurately.
These printable activities give learners repeated, clear practice with no-carry addition facts. They are useful for home revision, classroom drill work, warm-ups, and building confidence before moving to addition with regrouping.
2 digit plus 1 digit no regroup addition helps children connect number facts with place value. In sums like 34 + 5, the ones digits combine to make 9, so the tens digit stays the same. This prepares learners for mental maths, column addition, and later regrouping because they first understand what happens in the ones place.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets keep the focus on examples where the ones total does not reach 10. Children may see horizontal sums, vertical sums, and mixed drill formats. This variety helps them recognise that 41 + 7 and the same sum written in columns use the same thinking: 1 + 7 = 8, so 41 becomes 48.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to read the number aloud first: “twenty-three plus four.” Then cover the tens digit and ask, “What is 3 plus 4?” Finally, uncover the full number and say, “The tens stay as 2 tens, so the answer is 27.” After a few guided examples, let the child complete a short section independently and check by explaining one answer back to you.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages as quick maths drills, morning work, small-group practice, or exit checks after teaching place value addition. They also work well in centres for pupils who need fluency with basic addition facts before attempting carrying. For mixed-ability groups, ask confident learners to create matching word problems for sums such as 65 + 3.
Common errors to watch for
Some children add the 1-digit number to the tens place, turning 24 + 3 into 54. Others carry even when no regrouping is needed, or write digits in the wrong column in vertical sums. Encourage neat alignment and vocabulary such as tens, ones, sum, addend, and no regrouping. If a child answers 28 for 25 + 3, ask them to show the ones addition first.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The activities give focused repetition without mixing in harder carrying sums too early. A child-friendly strategy is: “ones first, tens stay.” Say it, point to the ones digits, add them, then write the complete number. This short routine builds accuracy and helps children see addition as place value thinking, not just counting on fingers.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 2 digit plus 1 digit no regroup mean?
It means adding a single-digit number to a 2-digit number when the ones digits add to less than 10, so no carrying to the tens place is needed.
Can these worksheets be used before teaching carrying?
Yes. They are designed to strengthen place value and basic addition fluency before children move on to addition with regrouping.
What is an example of this type of sum?
An example is 43 + 5. Add the ones: 3 + 5 = 8. The 4 tens stay the same, so the answer is 48.
How can I help my child avoid adding to the tens digit?
Ask your child to point to the ones digits first and say, “ones first, tens stay.” Using place value language during checking helps prevent this error.
Are these activities suitable for maths drill practice?
Yes. The worksheets give repeated practice with the same addition skill, making them useful for quick revision, classroom warm-ups, and home practice.
