Daily math practice for kindergarten

Five short sheets, one for each school day, that start where counting leaves off and end at the pairs that make ten.

What the 5 days look like

Addition within 10 · 5 daily sheets plus an answer key and a story map — 7 sides in all.

  1. Monday Warm-up

    Monday adds zero and one — 3 + 0, 0 + 2 — so the shape of a sum is the only new thing.
  2. Tuesday Build

    Tuesday keeps the totals under six.
  3. Wednesday Practice

    Wednesday works across the middle of the range.
  4. Thursday Stretch

    Thursday brings in the larger single digits.
  5. Friday Challenge

    Friday is every pair that makes ten: 4 + 6, 2 + 8, 7 + 3, 5 + 5.

Why a week beats one long page

A routine beats a big page at this age. A kindergartner's attention for written work is measured in minutes, so five short sheets across a week are worth far more than one long sheet on Sunday — and the week is what turns recognising a sum into remembering it.

How to run it

What the five days actually do is climb. Monday's page leans on adding zero and one, where the answer barely changes; by Friday every pair makes ten, which is the fact family the whole of first grade is built on. Nothing was hand-picked to make that true — the sheets are drawn in difficulty order from the same pool, and the order is what produces the climb.

Same week, different skill

Other Kindergarten packs

Every one of these builds a pack that gets harder day by day. A single times table fills three days rather than five — ten facts, each allowed back once. Skills whose questions are all one weight are left out.
