Vertical Ten Addition

This printable math worksheet is designed to help students in Grades 2 and 3 strengthen place value understanding, addition fluency, mental math strategies, and computational accuracy through structured vertical practice. Using a clear place-value grid, students add ten to multi-digit numbers-typically ranging from 70 to 140-while carefully aligning digits to reinforce how adding ten affects the tens place and leaves the ones place unchanged unless regrouping occurs.

Learning Goals

• Place Value: Tens and Ones (Grades 2-3)
  Reinforce understanding of how digits shift when adding multiples of ten.
• Addition of Multiples of Ten
  Practice adding 10 efficiently and accurately using predictable base-ten patterns.
• Vertical Number Alignment
  Strengthen correct digit placement through boxed, column-based computation.
• Addition Within 100 and 1,000
  Build confidence working with larger numbers while maintaining accuracy.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource
  Designed by educators to align with elementary math standards and place-value instruction.
• Clear Place-Value Grid
  Provides visual support that helps reduce alignment errors and supports conceptual understanding.
• Fluency-Focused Practice
  Repetition builds speed, accuracy, and automaticity with tens addition.
• Flexible Classroom Use
  Ideal for independent practice, math centers, homework, review, or intervention support.

This vertical add-ten worksheet helps students develop place value reasoning, mental computation, accuracy, and confidence with early multi-digit addition. By practicing predictable base-ten patterns in a structured format, learners build strong foundations for more advanced addition and regrouping tasks. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool setting, this no-prep worksheet provides effective practice that supports long-term success in mathematics.
