Word problems are covered in the second grade Common Core math standards. According to the standards, second graders need to be able to use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems.

Your students will confidently know how to solve word problems and be able to identify the limitations of using word problem keywords as a stand-alone strategy through daily word problem practice opportunities that this resource provides. This second grade word problem resource has a seasonal theme correlated with each month: January, February, March, April, May, June, August, September, October, November, and December.

Second Grade Math Spiral Review

Spiral review in math is  the idea that after introducing and explicitly teaching a foundational concept or skill, students continue to practice it regularly throughout the school year in order to maintain what they have learned.  It is an integral part of every second grade classroom. Using them consistently reduces the amount of time you need to spend on test prep, helps reinforce or re-teach foundational skills, and inspires math confidence amongst students.

This Common Core-aligned second grade math spiral review bundle includes 250 print and go assessment pages and 250 Google forms, so your students can access the resources digitally and in hard copy. Each page follows a consistent ten-question template, which means this resource includes 2,500 problems!
