Year 2 maths word problems are like fun puzzles that help us use our maths skills to solve real-life situations. They are essential to year 2 maths, and practising them can help us become maths superstars!

• We can use addition and subtraction to determine how many cookies are left in a jar, how many friends are on the playground, or even how many apples are in a basket.
• Understanding place value is like being a number detective. It helps us read big numbers and know the value of each digit, so we can count things like how many toys we have or how many days until our birthday.
• Measuring things and telling time is like being an explorer in the real world. We can measure how tall we are, how long a pencil is, or even how much water is in a glass. And knowing how to read a clock helps us know when it’s time for fun activities or when it’s time to go to bed.
• Shapes are like building blocks of the world around us. We can learn about squares, triangles, and circles by looking at objects we see every day. It’s like being a shape detective, finding out how many sides and corners they have, and how they fit together like puzzle pieces in year 2 maths questions.

All of these skills are necessary for year 2 maths practice! Use these 45 maths questions to go over important maths skills needed to strengthen your student’s understanding and knowledge.
