Math Puzzle with Winter — Grade 2

On this Grade 2 worksheet, a picture of winter things 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.

Second graders practise adding and subtracting within 100 — two-digit problems that build on earlier number facts. This puzzle turns that practice into picture-building: each piece of a winter things picture carries a within-100 equation. Solving the two-digit problems to complete the picture keeps the numbers-to-100 work concrete and motivating, the core of 2nd-grade base ten.

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 zoo animals, or try math puzzle with household things. 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.
