2 Digit Plus 1 Digit No Regroup Practice Activities
Printable addition drills for practicing 2-digit plus 1-digit problems without regrouping, using clear layouts that strengthen place value and accuracy.
Practice that builds confidence
What this addition skill builds
These printable math drill worksheets help children practise adding a 1-digit number to a 2-digit number when no regrouping is needed. Students focus on combining the ones, keeping the tens unchanged, and writing a correct sum.
Activities include vertical and horizontal addition formats, mixed problem sets, and repeated practice with examples such as 24 + 3 or 56 + 2. The sheets fit the Math > Math Drills > Addition path and build fluency without introducing carrying.
In 2-digit plus 1-digit no regrouping, children learn that the 1-digit addend joins the ones place. In 42 + 5, the 4 tens stay as 40 while 2 ones and 5 ones make 7 ones, so the sum is 47. This reinforces place value, addend, ones, tens, and sum vocabulary while keeping the number work manageable.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets move between clear vertical equations and horizontal equations so children do not depend on one layout. Problems are selected so the ones digits do not make 10 or more. That means students can concentrate on alignment, mental addition within the ones place, and recording the full 2-digit answer instead of learning regrouping at the same time.
A simple parent routine
At home, start with three warm-up questions using objects or fingers for the ones: 31 + 4, 62 + 6, 75 + 2. Ask your child to say, “The tens stay the same; I add the ones.” Then have them complete a short set, circle one problem they found easy, and explain one answer aloud. If an error appears, rewrite the number in tens and ones before trying again.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for morning work, math centers, quick fluency checks, small-group reteaching, or independent practice after a place value lesson. The no-regrouping focus makes the sheets useful before introducing carrying, because it shows whether students understand where the 1-digit number belongs in a 2-digit addition problem.
Common errors to watch for
Some students add the 1-digit number to the tens digit, turning 34 + 2 into 54. Others write only the ones answer, such as 6 instead of 36. In vertical problems, misalignment can also cause confusion. Encourage students to underline the ones digits, check that the tens digit remains, and read the final number as a whole number.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 2-digit plus 1-digit no regrouping mean?
It means adding a 1-digit number to a 2-digit number when the ones digits total less than 10, such as 43 + 5 = 48. No carrying to the tens place is needed.
Which skill should my child know before using these worksheets?
Children should be able to recognize tens and ones and add basic 1-digit facts. They do not need to know regrouping or carrying for this set.
How can I explain 36 + 2 to a child?
Show that 36 has 3 tens and 6 ones. Add 2 to the ones: 6 + 2 = 8. The 3 tens stay the same, so the answer is 38.
Why are there no problems like 47 + 8?
A problem like 47 + 8 requires regrouping because 7 + 8 is more than 10. This page focuses only on addition without regrouping so children can master place value first.
Can these worksheets be used for math centers?
Yes. They work well for independent addition centers, quick checks, early finisher work, or small-group practice on adding ones to 2-digit numbers.
