KS2 column addition worksheet that teaches children to add several numbers together using the column method, with the biggest number written at the top to make carrying easier.
Two worked examples model the technique, including 45 plus 26 plus 57 and a four-number example with 28 plus 372 plus 197 plus 96. Children then complete nine column addition problems set out with carrying space, followed by eight horizontal sums to rewrite into columns and solve, including 45 plus 67 plus 84 plus 99, 309 plus 24 plus 110 plus 500, 53 plus 98 plus 467 plus 3009 and 8904 plus 7843 plus 76 plus 212. The mix of two-, three- and four-digit numbers builds confidence with larger calculations.
