Addition is a process which children learn quite naturally as soon as they learn to start counting. During kindergarten and first grade, adding piles of objects together is really important and reinforces childrens understanding of place value and 1:1 correspondence.

Later on, when children are confident adding piles of objects together, they can progress on to number lines or counting on in their heads. When children have understood this, they can begin to learn their addition facts and progress on to column addition.

During 2nd grade, children should be learning the following mental addition skills:

• know their addition facts up to 20;
• mentally adding on 1, 10 or 100 to any 2 or 3-digit number.

For pencil and paper methods, children should be able to:

• add two 3-digit numbers together;
• add together three or four 2-digit numbers.

Grade 2 Worksheets >

Addition, numbers, and mathematics are with us every day. Every step of the way, we encounter, and we interact with them. As children move further in elementary, they also get higher numbers and more problems in mathematics. Each one harder than the previous one, but harder tasks can be accomplished with a little determination and persistence. There are a lot of worksheets and practice materials that can be utilized to further exercise the grade 2 learners’ capabilities and mastery towards addition problems. For kindergartens and grade 1 learners, they may encounter adding numbers that are single-digit or only 2 numbers at a time. The difference with grade 2 addition problems is that there are numbers with 2 to 3-digit numbers per problem. There would also be more than just 2 addends to be added together in some problems. These differences and escalation of addition problems may frustrate and further confuse learners who are having trouble with their addition lessons. But there is nothing that practice cannot enhance, even in mathematics. The more a child practice and encounter these addition problems and hone their skills in adding, the more that they will grow accustomed to solving them. There are worksheets for addition with 2 up to 3-digit numbers and addition with more than 2 addends. Numbers that have 2 digits are numbers from 10 up to 99, while 3-digit numbers are numbers from 100 up to 999. Each time that a number increase its number of digits, the more numbers it will cover. Therefore, the children might find themselves overwhelmed with hundreds and even thousands of different number combinations. And as what is mentioned previously, there are addition problems in grade 2 that has multiple addends. Multiple addends plus 2 to 3-digit numbers in a single problem could lead the learners in confusion. This is when the worksheets and practicing addition problems come in handy. Of course, larger number needs carrying from one place to another, especially those that has more than 2 addends. Mastering the addition is one of the many steps that must be learned in mathematics but learning addition also has its own first steps. It must be ensured that the learners are already familiar with numbers, especially large ones. This will help them know what they are doing and to recognize the given numbers that are presented in a problem. The most important thing to remember when you are trying to learn something, is to always apply the basic knowledge and foundation of what you have learned. Adding numbers together whether it is single-digit ones, numbers that has 3-digit, or more than 2 addends, they all possess the same rules and methods that were used so far. Basically, when you add numbers, no matter the number, how big it is, how many digits it has, or how many addends are involved in a problem, they can be all solved with the same procedures that were used for the addition of smaller numbers with only 2 addends and a few digits. Therefore, the methods that are used in addition does not change and it is constantly used no matter the numbers involved.

How do you do word problems for grade 2?

Solving word problems is an important skill for students in grade 2 as it helps them understand how to apply mathematical concepts in real-life situations. In this essay, we will discuss some strategies that can be used to solve word problems for grade 2 students.

• Step 1: Read the problem carefully: The first step to solving any word problem is to read the problem carefully and make sure you understand what is being asked. Take your time and read the problem several times to make sure you have a good understanding of the situation.
• Step 2: Identify the important information Once you have a good understanding of the problem, you need to identify the important information. This might include the numbers involved, the operation that needs to be performed, and the information that you are being asked to find. Write down this information in a list or on a notepad to help you keep track of what you need to do.
• Step 3: Choose an operation Next, you need to determine what operation is required to solve the problem. This might be addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Once you have determined the operation, you can begin to work on the problem.
• Step 4: Create a picture or a model Creating a picture or a model can be a helpful way to visualize the problem and make it easier to solve. For example, if the problem involves adding two numbers, you could draw a picture of two piles of objects and count the total number of objects in each pile.
• Step 5: Solve the problem With the information and operation identified, it is time to solve the problem. Use the information you have gathered and the operation you have chosen to find the answer. Make sure to double-check your work to ensure that you have the correct answer.
• Step 6: Check your answer Finally, check your answer to make sure it makes sense in the context of the problem. If the answer seems too large or too small, you may have made a mistake and need to go back and check your work.

In conclusion, solving word problems is a valuable skill for grade 2 students as it helps them understand how to apply mathematical concepts in real-life situations. By following these steps and using strategies like creating a picture or model, students can be successful in solving word problems.

Addition worksheets for Grade 2 without regrouping

Addition is a fundamental mathematical operation that forms the foundation for more complex arithmetic calculations. Grade 2 students learn addition without regrouping, which means they do not borrow or carry over numbers from one place value to another.

Here are a few examples of addition worksheets suitable for Grade 2 students:

Two-Digit Addition: Students can practice adding two-digit numbers without regrouping. For example, 34 + 17 = 51.

Addition Word Problems: Word problems can help students practice real-life applications of addition. For example, "There are 15 flowers in a vase. If 4 more flowers are added, how many flowers are there now?"

Adding Three Numbers: Students can practice adding three numbers without regrouping. For example, 17 + 23 + 12 = 52.

Addition with Pictures: Students can use pictures or objects to help them understand addition. For example, if there are 3 apples on one plate and 4 apples on another plate, then there are a total of 3 + 4 = 7 apples.

Addition Tables: Students can practice filling out addition tables, such as a 10x10 table, where each row and column represents a different number.

It is important to note that while students are learning addition without regrouping, they are also learning important skills such as place value, counting, and number sense. These worksheets provide opportunities for students to practice and solidify these skills.

In conclusion, these worksheets are a great way for Grade 2 students to practice addition without regrouping. By working through different types of problems, students can develop their understanding of addition and build a strong foundation for future math studies.

20 Word Problems For 2nd Grade: Develop Their Problem Solving Skills Across Single and Mixed Topics

Emma Johnson

Word problems for second grade are an important tool for improving number fluency. The key focus of math in second grade is on ensuring students are becoming more fluent with number facts and the concept of place value. Children are starting to develop more efficient written methods by this stage and are beginning to carry out calculations with increasingly larger whole numbers.

As children progress through school, they are exposed to a wider variety of problem solving questions covering a range of concepts. In second grade, these include addition, subtraction, measurement and data.  

It is important that children are regularly exposed to reasoning and problem solving questions, alongside the fluency work each lesson. It is also important to remember that all children need exposure to reasoning and problem solving questions, not just the higher attaining students who finish quickest.

We have put together a collection of 20 word problems, aimed at second grade students.

Word Problems Grade 2 Addition and Subtraction

11 grade 2 addition and subtraction questions to develop reasoning and problem solving skills.

Place value

Addition and subtraction, measurement, data representation, why are word problems important in second grade math, benefits of pairs, groups and class discussion , addition question 1, addition question 2, addition question 3, subtraction question 1, subtraction question 2, subtraction question 3, multi-step question 1, multi-step question 2, multi-step question 3, more word problems resources, second grade math word problems.

In second grade, students focus on one-step problems, covering a range of topics. At this stage the majority of word problems students are tackling will have one-step, but they may also start to be introduced to simple two-step word problems. Here is a breakdown of topics that will be covered and expectations in second grade. 

Solve number problems and practical problems involving recognizing the place value of each digit of a 3-digit number; comparing and ordering numbers up to 1,000 and identifying, representing and estimating numbers using different representations.

Solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place value and more complex addition and subtraction word problems .

Solve problems involving length; adding and subtracting within money word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.

Solve-step and two-step questions (For example, ‘How many more?’ and ‘How many fewer’?) using information presented in scaled bar charts, pictograms and tables.

By second grade, children are starting to learn how to use some of the formal written methods of addition and subtraction. It is important that the link between math in school and math in real-life continues to be made. Word problems are a key element in helping students to make this link. 

How to teach problem solving in second grade

When teaching math problems to second grade, it’s important to think of ways to make them fun, engaging and something the children are able to relate to. This might include acting out the problem, using concrete resources and providing visual images, to bring the problems to life. 

Children should have plenty of opportunity to talk in pairs, groups and as a whole class, to share their understanding of what is being asked and their strategies for solving the problem. The use of manipulatives is important and all children should have access to a range of math resources when solving problems like this.

Students need to be encouraged to read word problems carefully and to make sure they understand what is being asked, before attempting to tackle the problem. This is where the use of a partner and group discussion can really help children’s understanding. Students then need to think about what they already know and how they can use this to help them answer the question. Where appropriate, students should also be encouraged to draw diagrams and pictures to help them solve the question.

Here is an example:

Mason has 24 glass jars to put flowers in.

He gives 5 to Marcy and drops 2 while carrying them inside the shop.

How many glass jars does Mason have left?

How to solve:

What do you already know?

• Mason has a total of 24 glass jars.
• We know he gives Marcy 5 jars, which means we will need to subtract 5 from 4. 
• He also dropped 2, also meaning we will need to subtract.
• In second grade, children should be building confidence with adding and subtracting within 20, and should be able to do these calculations in their heads.
• Children who aren’t able to recall quickly could use counters to represent the jars, or draw a bar model to help solve it.

How can this be drawn/represented visually?

We can draw a bar model or counters to represent this problem:

• To calculate how many jars are left, we can either use or draw 24 counters. We can then remove or cross out the 5 jars given to Marcy, and then 2 jars that were broken.
• Using the bar model, we can first subtract 5 from 24, representing the jars given to Marcy, leaving 19 jars. Then subtract 2 more from 19, to represent the two jars broken.
• Mason had 17 glass jars left. 

Addition word problems for second grade

In second grade, students are exposed to a range of addition word problems, including problems involving mental addition and addition of up to 3-digits using formal written methods.

Subtraction word problems for second grade

Subtraction word problems in second grade also need to comprise of a combination of mental calculation questions and those involving formal written subtraction up to 3-digits. Children should also be starting to estimate answers and check their calculations by using the inverse.

Ahmed collects 374 stickers.

He needs 526 stickers to fill his sticker album.

How many more stickers does he need to collect?

Answer : 152 stickers

526 – 374 = 152

 Ahmed buys a bag of candy with 200 pieces in it.

Over 2 weeks, he eats 145 pieces. How many pieces of candy does Ahmed have left?

Answer : 55 pieces of candy

200 – 145 or count up from 145 to 200.

Multi-step word problems in second grade

When children first move into elementary school, word problems are predominantly one-step. As they become more confident they can be exposed to more word problems, requiring a second step or multi-step word problems. When first introducing two-step problems, keep the numbers used in the problems low and manageable to allow students to focus on reasoning over calculations.

Oliver had 3 bags of candies.

Each bag contained 15 candies.

Oliver’s little brother ate 17 pieces of the candy. How many pieces of candy does Oliver have left?

Answer : 9 sweets

15 + 15 + 15 = 45 

45  – 17 = 28

A teacher photocopies 95 math worksheets and 80 English worksheets in one week.

Teachers can print a maximum of 300 worksheets per week. 

How many can the teacher print for other subjects?

Answer : 125 worksheets

 95 + 80 = 175

300 – 175 = 125

A flower shop picks 19 roses and 25 daisies fresh from their garden.

A customer orders a dozen flowers for a birthday gift.

How many flowers will the flower shop have left?

Answer : 32 flowers

19 + 25 = 44 flowers (roses and daisies combined)

44 – 12 = 32 flowers
