About this resource
Description
This adding with measures worksheet helps 2nd graders solve real word problems about length. Students read short stories about paper chains, train tracks, garden fences, swimming laps and ribbons, then add two lengths that share the same unit. Working with inches, feet, centimeters and meters shows children that addition is a tool they can use to measure the world around them.
Each of the five stories has three write-in boxes below it. Students write the two lengths from the story, add them, and put the total in the last box. The unit is printed after the answer box, so every answer is read as a real measurement, such as 83 feet. Four of the five problems need regrouping in the ones place, which gives students steady practice with two-digit addition within 100.
What’s Included
- Five length word problems using inches, feet, centimeters and meters
- Write-in boxes to build and solve an addition sentence for each story
- Two-digit addition within 100, with regrouping practice
- A complete answer key on the last page
Why It Helps Kids
First, it connects addition to measurement, so students see why the numbers in a story have units. Second, writing the math fact in boxes before solving teaches children to pull the important numbers out of a word problem. Third, keeping the unit with every answer builds the habit of checking that a total makes sense.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the first story together and model how to find the two lengths before students work on their own. Ask children to underline each number and circle its unit. For a hands-on extension, have students measure two objects with a ruler or tape measure, then add the lengths. These 2nd grade addition word problems also make a quick review before a measurement test, and the adding with measures worksheet pairs well with its subtraction sibling for mixed practice.
