Help your 2nd graders master addition and subtraction with this engaging and faith-based set of eight worksheets! Aligned with Common Core Standards 1.OA.C.5 and 1.OA.C.6, these worksheets are thoughtfully designed to build fluency and confidence in adding and subtracting within 20, with a focus on sums and differences within 10. Each worksheet incorporates scaffolded activities, starting with the first four problems featuring visual aids and pictures to help students count and solve. As students progress, they’ll practice mental math strategies like counting on, making ten, and decomposing numbers, gradually transitioning to solving problems without visual support.
What makes this set truly special is its incorporation of fun Bible story themes and encouraging scripture, creating an inspiring and meaningful learning experience. Students will explore the relationship between addition and subtraction through paired problems, discover efficient ways to decompose numbers, and tackle relatable word problems that reinforce real-world application. With problems that range from simple equations to sums and differences beyond 20, this resource is perfect for developing numerical reasoning while nurturing students’ faith.
These worksheets provide hands-on, independent practice for students and can be used for classroom activities, homework, or Sunday school enrichment. Whether you’re a teacher, homeschool parent, or Sunday school instructor, this set is an ideal way to make math meaningful, fun, and inspiring for young learners!
