This challenging worksheet stretches second graders into two-step thinking with two-digit numbers. Part A multiple choice asks how many of 48 muffins remain after 19 morning and 13 afternoon sales, tracks 76 cars as 32 leave and 15 arrive, and figures Pedro's 42 oranges plus 31 lemons against a 56-fruit basket. Part B fill-in problems handle a garden of 53 flowers losing 24 and gaining 18, plus a train of 64 passengers swapping riders.
A real workout for kids ready to plan more than one calculation per story.
