Math Worksheet with Classroom: Trade Pictures for Numbers

Substitution and solving come together on this math worksheet with Classroom. A small key gives each picture a value, and the expressions below combine those symbols with plus and minus signs. The child reads an expression, swaps each Classroom for the number it represents, and then calculates, adding and subtracting until a single result appears. Because the answers reach into the thirties and forties, the child is working with the kind of two-digit totals that belong to Grade 2. This pairing of a clear key and multi-term sentences strengthens both the habit of substituting values and the skill of handling more than one operation at once. The pictures of Classroom keep the page cheerful while the child does the genuine arithmetic of looking up, swapping in, and solving.

Here the expressions grow to three symbols, so the child substitutes three values and works through both adding and subtracting in one sentence. Reading the key for the Classroom, swapping each in, and solving from left to right is satisfying two-step practice. The answers reach into the twenties and thirties, keeping the calculation squarely at Grade 2.
