About this resource
Description
Solving real-world math starts with knowing when to add and when to subtract. This Addition and Subtraction Word Problems Worksheet gives second graders practice reading short number stories, deciding which operation to use, and solving problems with two-digit numbers within 100. Each problem is a small, relatable scene, such as picking apples, sharing stickers, or counting books, that helps students connect math to everyday life while building both computation and reading skills.
This printable set of addition and subtraction story problems is easy to use at school or at home. Students read each number story, look for the important information, and decide whether to add or subtract. Every problem card has room to draw a picture or write an equation, plus a line to record the final answer with its unit. Use it for guided practice, morning work, a math center, or homework.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 4 addition and subtraction word problems within 100
This Addition and Subtraction Word Problems Worksheet helps children grow as problem solvers in three ways. First, mixing addition and subtraction on one page teaches students to choose the right operation instead of guessing. Second, the space to draw or write an equation builds the important habit of showing their thinking. Third, the friendly picture on each card gives context that keeps young learners engaged and confident as they work through every story.
To reinforce the skill, encourage students to explain out loud how they solved each story and why they chose to add or subtract. Families can make up their own number stories during everyday moments, such as setting the table, sorting toys, or shopping, and act them out with real objects. Pairing the worksheet with a counting or adding song turns practice into play while strengthening number sense and confidence.
