Six story problems for 2nd grade: adding and subtracting within 100, equal groups (an early look at multiplication), and two-step problems like a bus where some people get off and others get on. The 2nd grade standards ask children to solve one- and two-step word problems within 100 and to work with equal groups using repeated addition.
Two-step problems are the new challenge. Ask your child what happens first and what happens next, and solve one step at a time. For extra two-digit practice without the reading, use 2nd grade addition and subtraction worksheets.
Tips for using it
- For two-step problems, write the answer to step one before starting step two.

Questions
What are two-step word problems?
Problems that need two operations, like adding and then subtracting. 'A bus has 13 people. 2 get off and 4 get on' needs 13 − 2 and then + 4.
Do 2nd graders do multiplication word problems?
Informally. The 2nd grade standards use arrays and repeated addition (5 rows of 2), which prepares for 3rd grade multiplication.
