Custom printable flash cards for addition and subtraction

Most worksheet packs stop at sums under 20, but a homework set may need regrouping across three-digit numbers. Ready-made free printable flash cards for addition and subtraction rarely match what a class is working on. DeckOwl reads your own page, slide, or note and writes the cards from it.

  • Generate cards from your own worksheet, slide, or photo of a page
  • Spaced repetition brings back the facts you keep missing
  • PDF and Anki export are on Plus; the free plan studies in the browser

Example addition and subtraction flash cards
What is 48 + 27?75
What is 90 − 36?54
What is the commutative property of addition?Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum, so 4 + 9 = 9 + 4.
What is a fact family?A set of related facts using the same three numbers, such as 3 + 5 = 8, 5 + 3 = 8, 8 − 5 = 3, and 8 − 3 = 5.
How can you check a subtraction answer?Add the difference back to the number you subtracted; the total should equal the starting number, as in 54 + 36 = 90.

Frequently asked questions

How many addition and subtraction facts should one flash card set cover?

Start with one fact family at a time, such as sums to 10, and add larger numbers once those feel automatic. Short daily practice usually works better than one long session.

Should students learn addition facts before subtraction?

Most curricula introduce them together, since subtraction undoes addition and fact families show that link. Practicing both from the same three numbers helps students see the relationship.

Can I print the flash cards DeckOwl makes?

Yes, PDF export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser, but not exports.

Can I start for free without a credit card?

Yes, the free plan needs no credit card and includes 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
