Addition Table (1 to 12)

A 12 × 12 addition chart. Find the first number in the left column and the second along the top; the cell where they meet is the sum.

Every cell is computed, so the chart is free of typing errors. It can be printed directly from the browser.

Patterns in the table

  • Commutative property: a + b = b + a, so the chart is symmetric about its diagonal
  • Identity: adding 0 leaves a number unchanged (a + 0 = a)
  • Each row increases by 1 from left to right, and each diagonal from bottom-left to top-right has a constant sum
  • Doubles (1 + 1, 2 + 2, …) lie on the main diagonal and are always even

Frequently asked questions

How do I read an addition table?

Pick the first number in the left-hand column and the second in the top row. Follow the row and column until they meet; that cell holds the sum.

Why is the table symmetric?

Addition is commutative, so 7 + 5 and 5 + 7 are both 12. Every sum appears twice, mirrored across the diagonal.
