Description
This addition dice game worksheet turns a favorite classroom game into focused 1st grade math practice. Children count the dots on two dice, write each number, and add them together to find the sum. Using dice is a fun way to connect counting to addition, because every dot stands for one and the total is right there to check.
About the Worksheet
The addition dice game worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students count the dots on each pair of dice and complete the number sentence in the boxes, with sums up to 12. In Part B, one die is left empty. Students draw the missing dots so the problem is true and then write the missing number, which builds early algebra thinking. Hand it out after a lesson on adding, use it at a math center, or send it home for extra practice.
What’s Included
- One page of addition dice practice: 4 count-and-add dice problems and 2 missing-addend dice problems
- Clear, printed dice that are easy for young learners to count
- A complete answer key for quick checking
How This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, counting the dots on each die builds number sense and helps children see what each number means. Second, writing full addition sentences shows how two parts join to make a whole. Third, finding the missing die introduces the idea of an unknown addend, a key 1st grade skill that prepares kids for subtraction and fact families.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, roll a real pair of dice together and add the dots aloud. After the worksheet, let children play a real game: take turns rolling two dice, write each addition sentence, and see who gets the bigger sum. This kindergarten addition worksheet idea also works well as a warm-up for strong kindergarten learners who are ready to add within 12.
