Math Addition Flash Cards

Over the years, our family has used many a set of flash cards to practice math facts. I have invested in several sets – some excellent and some not so much.

See the bottom of this post for my favorite purchased flash cards that are tried-and-true.

Now that my youngest son is working diligently on learning addition facts by heart, I thought it was time to create a printable set of addition flash cards for us to use for playing math games.

I am making this a free set of horizontal addition flash cards, so please feel free to download them and use them in your own homeschool or classroom!

Addition Flash Cards with Answers

I created this set of addition flash cards to practice and master all of the addition facts from 0 to 12.

If you print this packet using front-to-back mode on your printer, these become true math flash cards where you can turn the card over and see the correct answer.

➡️ Note that these math flash cards are not intentionally not cutesy in any way, so they can be used with a variety of ages – even upper elementary and middle schoolers if they need the refresher.

Printing Help for Addition Flash Cards

This post uses affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.

— Print flash cards on card stock (this is the brand I have used for years) for a better experience. They last longer and you can’t see the answer through card stock as you can plain copy paper.

— When setting your document to print, ensure ‘print on long edge’ is selected.

— Only print one set of cards from front to back to ensure the settings are correct. When you are satisfied, print the rest of the document.

— I recommend that you laminate these flash cards if they are going to get heavy use.

Ideas to Use Addition Flash Cards

There are a multitude of ways to use flash cards, but I have a listed several ways that we use these addition flash cards if you would like some fresh ideas!

— Pull out the cards that focus on only one fact family. Practice all of the 2+___, for example. Practice a new fact family each day to mastery.

— Draw a flash card from the stack and have your child write the answer on a small whiteboard.

— Practicing with a sibling? Have an Addition Flash Card Bee! The same rules apply as a Spelling Bee, just use these flash cards. The last one standing wins!

— Is the concept of addition still new? Draw a flash card and have your child build the equation with bear counters, mini erasers, beans, or whatever you have on hand.

— After determining the answer to the flash card, have your student state whether the sum is odd or even.
