Math Puzzle with Household Things — Grade 2

A Grade 2 picture puzzle built on two-digit math: a picture of household things comes in pieces, each holding an add-or-subtract-within-100 equation. Solving the within-100 problems reassembles the picture. Practising numbers up to 100 — the two-digit sums and differences of 2nd grade — is the work, and the puzzle turns each solved equation into a piece of a picture a child completes.

Second grade is when children master adding and subtracting within 100, working with two-digit numbers. This puzzle of household things builds that mastery piece by piece — each within-100 equation solved fits another part of the picture. Practising numbers to 100 with a visible payoff keeps the two-digit arithmetic lively, the genuine 2.NBT skill behind the play.

Children enjoy watching the picture come together as they solve each problem, and a finished math puzzle is a satisfying proof of within-100 skill. When this is easy, solve the puzzle in math puzzle with bakery treats, or try math puzzle with body parts. You can also browse every Grade 2 math puzzle or the whole second-grade collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more within-100 problems a child solves, the surer their two-digit addition and subtraction grows, one solved piece at a time.
