Download the math fact flash cards worksheets

Kindergarten flash cards

Every addition and subtraction fact within 10, from 0 + 0 to 10 − 10, in order of the sum or the starting number.

1st grade flash cards

The facts that cross ten: sums from 11 to 20 and the subtraction facts that go with them.

2nd grade flash cards

Every sum of two one-digit numbers from 2 to 9, mixed with its subtraction fact, for fluency within 20.

3rd grade flash cards

Multiplication from 0 × 0 to 10 × 10 and every division fact within 100.

4th grade flash cards

The full 0 to 12 tables, and division with divisors and quotients from 1 to 12.

Print at 100% (actual size) for the cleanest tracing lines.

About these math fact flash cards worksheets

These math fact flash cards print ten to a page. The fact is on the front and the answer is on the back, so a child can quiz alone and check every card.

Each set covers every fact in its range, not a sample: all the addition facts within 10, all the sums to 20, every multiplication fact to 10 × 10 or 12 × 12 and every division fact that goes with them.

Print the front page, then the back page on the other side of the same sheet. The backs are laid out in mirror order, so each answer lands behind its own fact when you flip on the long edge.

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.5Fluently add and subtract within 5.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

How to use them

  1. Print double-sided and flip on the long edge, or print both pages and glue them back to back. Card stock lasts longest.
  2. Cut on the dashed lines and keep each set in an envelope or on a ring.
  3. Make two piles: facts a child knows at once and facts that need thinking. Practice the second pile for a few minutes a day.
  4. Mix in a few known cards each time so practice ends on a win.

Teaching tips

  • Turnarounds help: once a child knows 3 + 8, 8 + 3 is free. The same goes for 4 × 7 and 7 × 4.
  • Practice a fact family together: 6 + 7 = 13, 7 + 6 = 13, 13 − 6 = 7 and 13 − 7 = 6.
  • Short daily practice works better than one long session.
  • Say the whole fact out loud, not just the answer.

Questions teachers and parents ask

How do I print the flash cards double-sided?

Print the front page and the back page on the two sides of one sheet and choose flip on the long edge. The backs are in mirror order, so each answer lines up behind its fact. If your printer cannot print both sides, print both pages and glue them back to back before cutting.

Which flash cards should my child start with?

Kindergarten children start with addition and subtraction within 10, 1st graders move on to sums up to 20, 2nd graders practice all of them mixed, 3rd graders learn multiplication and division to 10 × 10, and 4th graders review the full 12 × 12 tables.

Why are some cards blank?

A set that does not fill its last page leaves the extra cards blank. Children can write a fact they find hard on the front and its answer on the back.
