Math Worksheet with Camping: Add and Subtract with Symbols

This math worksheet asks the child to read a key, substitute the values, and evaluate each expression with Camping. First the child studies the key, where every picture stands for a small number. Then they tackle the expressions, each one a string of symbols linked by plus and minus signs. The child replaces each Camping with its value, then adds and subtracts in order until one answer is left, sometimes as high as forty. Handling several symbols and two operations in the same sentence is exactly the kind of calculating Grade 2 calls for, and the picture key gives the child a friendly way in. You can sit alongside and read the key together, then watch your child solve each problem step by step — substituting, adding, subtracting, and arriving at a clear, correct total.

This version asks the child to substitute values and solve expressions that build toward totals near forty using Camping. Looking up each picture, swapping in its number, and then adding and subtracting carefully gives the child genuine two-digit results. It is calm, confident Grade 2 practice — substitute, calculate, and write the answer, one expression at a time.
