Math Worksheet with Faces BW: Add and Subtract with Symbols

Here is a math worksheet where Faces BW carry hidden values, and the child's job is to uncover them and solve. A key sets each picture equal to a small number, and the child commits those values to mind or jots them down. Then come the expressions: several symbols joined by plus and minus signs, waiting to be worked out. The child substitutes the right number for each picture of Faces BW, then adds and subtracts in order until a single result remains. Because the answers reach up into the thirties and forties, this is genuine Grade 2 arithmetic, asking the child to handle more than one operation in the same problem. The pictures make every step feel approachable, but make no mistake — the child is truly calculating, one careful substitution at a time.

This version asks the child to substitute values and solve expressions that build toward totals near forty using Faces BW. 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.
