Math word problem worksheets for grade 2.

These word problem worksheets place 2nd grade math concepts in contexts that grade 2 students can relate to. We provide math word problems for addition, subtraction, multiplication, time, money and fractions.

We encourage students to read and think about the problems carefully, and not just recognize an answer pattern. We facilitate this by:

providing a number of mixed word problem worksheets (e.g. subtraction questions mixed in with addition questions)
sometimes including irrelevant data within word problems so students must understand the context before applying a solution

Simple addition (1-2 digits)

Slightly harder addition (1-3 digits)

Subtraction word problems for grade 2

Please note:

Our site is mainly based around the US Elementary school math standards.

Though the links on this page are all designed primarily for students in the US, but they are also at the correct level and standard for UK students.

The main issue is that some of the spelling is different and this site uses US spelling.

Year 2 is generally equivalent to 1st Grade in the US.
