Rolling Addition Worksheet for Preschoolers: Dice Game Fun!

Rolling two dice and adding the results teaches children ages 4-6 the core idea of addition as combining two quantities into one total, rather than just memorizing number facts. The physical act of rolling builds excitement around math while requiring them to recognize dice pips or numerals, transfer them to paper, and calculate a sum, connecting concrete play to abstract arithmetic.

How to use this worksheet

Give your child two dice and have them roll both at once. Ask them to count the dots (or read the numeral) on each die and write that number in the first two circles on the worksheet. Next, guide them to add the two numbers together, using fingers or counters if needed, and write the total in the final circle. Repeat the roll-write-add sequence several times, racing to fill the whole page.

Materials needed

  • Pencil
  • Dice

Extension activities

  • Play a two-player version where each person rolls and the higher sum wins the round.
  • Swap the dice for a deck of playing cards (ace to 6) and add the two cards drawn instead.
  • Build a tower of blocks matching each die's number, then push the towers together and count the combined total.
  • Make a simple addition bingo card using sums from 2 to 12 and mark off the number rolled.
