Math Puzzle with Trees — Grade 2

Solve the equations to finish the picture! On this Grade 2 worksheet a picture of trees is cut into puzzle pieces, each labelled with an addition or subtraction within 100. The child works each two-digit problem, and the answers reveal how the pieces fit together. Practising numbers up to 100 — the within-100 adding and subtracting of 2nd grade — is the real work here, wrapped in a satisfying picture puzzle.

By second grade, a child works with two-digit numbers — adding and subtracting within 100, sometimes regrouping tens and ones. This puzzle of trees 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 vehicles, or try math puzzle with accessories. 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.
