Frequently asked questions

What is vertical addition?

Vertical (column) addition stacks numbers one above the other so you add each place-value column from right to left.

How is it different from horizontal?

Horizontal writes problems in a line (12 + 7 = ). Vertical stacks them, which makes carrying and place value clearer.

Are these free and unlimited?

Yes — generate, download and print as many as you like, free and without sign-up.
