Math Puzzle with Bakery Treats — Grade 2

Two-digit math, one picture: this Grade 2 worksheet builds addition and subtraction within 100 into a puzzle of bakery treats. Each piece is an equation; solving the within-100 problems shows where the pieces go. Practising numbers to 100 — the two-digit sums and differences second graders need — becomes the work of completing a picture. It is 2.NBT.B.5 add-and-subtract-within-100 skill in a puzzle a child enjoys.

The within-100 arithmetic at the centre of second grade — two-digit addition and subtraction — is best practised with a clear purpose, and a picture puzzle supplies it. Each piece of a bakery treats picture holds an equation within 100; solving it places the piece. That numbers-to-100 practice builds the tens-and-ones fluency 2.NBT calls for, and the finished picture rewards the effort.

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 beach things, or try math puzzle with breakfast. 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.
