Dice Addition Worksheets
When my kids are learning addition, they get tired quickly of worksheets full of addition practice problems. One way for them to practice addition is to use these Dice Addition Worksheets. There is something about kids being able to use their hands while learning a concept. Adding while throwing dice around allows kids to look at the learning like a game. Truth is, if you use the worksheet with the two columns, you can make this activity into a game! Read on to learn how we use Dice Addition Worksheets in our homeschool!

How to use the Dice Addition Worksheets
There are two versions of the Dice Addition Worksheets. One is geared for a student with a low attention span. The worksheet only focuses on 5 addition problems. Whereas, the second worksheet focuses on ten problems. What I like about the second version is that you can make it into a competition.
Dice Addition #1
This Dice Addition Worksheet is the basic of the two. It allows your student to try their hand at rolling the dice to create an addition problem. Since there are only five problems, the work doesn’t seem overwhelming but doable.
Die Addition #2
This second version is my favorite. When an activity becomes a challenge between two people, kids are drawn to it. Yes, it is still math. And yes, it is still school related and yet my 6 year old loves to sit with me to see who can win this challenge.
The left column is for one person and the right column is for the second person. Each person rolls the dice and then records the numbers and sum in each row. The person who gets a higher sum wins that round. There are 6 rounds. If we tie, then I propose you go to a winning roll to see who wins it all. As each round ends, we like to put a star on the left side or right side to denote who won.
