Roll the Dice Addition Worksheet for Kids

This dice-based addition worksheet gives children ages 4-6 hands-on practice combining two quantities into a sum, using a physical dice roll to make the abstract idea of addition concrete and random. Rolling, recording, and adding numbers repeatedly builds fluency with numbers 1-6 and reinforces that addition means 'putting together.' The repeated-roll format also builds working memory as children hold two numbers in mind to combine them.

How to use this worksheet

Have your child cut out and assemble the paper dice template, or use a physical die if you have one on hand. Roll the dice once and write the result in the first box of a row, then roll again and write the second number in the next box. Ask your child to add the two numbers together, using fingers or drawn dots if helpful, and write the total in the answer box. Repeat this roll-write-add sequence until every row on the worksheet is filled in.

Materials needed

  • Dice (or a dice template)
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue (optional)

Extension activities

  • Have the child draw the dice dots to visualize the addition.
  • Use real objects (like counters) to represent the numbers being added.
  • Create a number line to help with addition.
  • Play a two-player version where each person rolls and the higher sum wins the round.
  • Roll three dice instead of two for an extra challenge once addition with two feels easy.
