Math Worksheet with Winter: Trade Pictures for Numbers

Trade pictures for numbers, then solve — that is the rhythm of this math worksheet with Winter. The key at the top assigns each symbol a single-digit value, and the rest of the page is a set of add-and-subtract expressions built from those symbols. The child reads an expression, replaces each picture of Winter with the number it stands for, and then evaluates: adding where there is a plus, taking away where there is a minus, working steadily toward the total. Results can reach about forty, so the child is adding and subtracting within numbers that genuinely belong to Grade 2. This blend of a simple key and multi-term sentences is a lovely way to practise substitution and two-step calculation, with the Winter keeping the whole page warm and inviting.

In this version the key is short and the expressions use just two symbols, so the child substitutes two values and adds or subtracts to find the answer. It is a gentle start to symbol math: read the key, swap each picture of Winter for its number, then solve. The totals stay small here, easing the child into trading pictures for values.

If your child enjoys this math worksheet with Winter, there is plenty more to solve, at a pace that feels right. You can print the worksheet as a PDF to work on paper, or play the interactive version online, always free and with no sign-up. There are no timers and no scores: each child substitutes, adds, and subtracts in their own time, with warmth and no shame about a tricky problem. When this is easy, try a symbol math worksheet with Winter that uses longer expressions, or solve the same key with a fresh set of pictures.
