Math Puzzle with Pets — Grade 2

On this Grade 2 worksheet, a picture of pets comes apart into puzzle pieces, each carrying an add-or-subtract-within-100 equation. The child solves each two-digit problem to rebuild the picture. That within-100 arithmetic is the heart of 2nd-grade number work — adding and subtracting numbers up to 100 — and the puzzle gives every solved equation an immediate, visible payoff.

By second grade, a child works with two-digit numbers — adding and subtracting within 100, sometimes regrouping tens and ones. This puzzle of pets builds exactly that: each piece is a within-100 problem, and solving it advances the picture. Practising numbers to 100 this way keeps the two-digit arithmetic concrete, with a visible reward for every correct answer.

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 post office, or try math puzzle with toys. 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.
