Support your students as they begin their journey into two-digit addition with this set of clear, engaging worksheet pages.

These activities help children understand what is happening when they add tens and ones—moving from concrete models to more abstract, mental strategies.

Perfect for first and second grade, this pack provides visual scaffolds, structured practice, and meaningful opportunities to build confidence with double-digit addition (no regrouping).

What’s Included in This Worksheet Set:

• 10 activity pages focused on addition without regrouping
• Tens and ones (MAB) pictures to support place-value understanding
• Brain picture cues to encourage mental imaging
• 12 problems per page for targeted practice
• Clean, uncluttered layouts for easy student use
  

Key Learning Outcomes:

Students will:

• Add two-digit numbers with no regrouping
• Identify numbers represented with tens and ones blocks
• Write numerals that match MAB pictures
• Add ones and tens separately to find a total
• Transition from concrete models to mental addition strategies
• Strengthen understanding of place value and structured addition
  

Why These Worksheets Work:

• Provides visuals that make the addition process clear
• Supports learners who need concrete models before abstraction
• Encourages “brain pictures” to practise mental math
• Ideal for differentiation, intervention, or skill review
• Simple to prep—just print and use
  

Ways to Use This Resource in Your Classroom:

• Use during whole-group instruction as guided practice
• Add to your math rotations as an independent task
• Pair worksheets with physical MAB blocks for hands-on modelling
• Introduce a few problems at a time as warm-ups or exit tickets
• Create a booklet for homework, tutoring, or small-group intervention
  

These thoughtful double-digit addition worksheets provide a smooth pathway from concrete understanding to confident mental strategies—while keeping practice clear, structured, and meaningful. A great addition to your addition toolkit!
