This challenging worksheet stretches second graders with a Candy Collection Challenge. Part A presents four multiple-choice problems, including Lucy trading 6 of her 14 candies for stickers, Ben combining 7 chocolate bars with 9 lollipops, and a context-clue question asking what crept means in a graveyard sentence.
Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blanks that include three-addend sums like 8 plus 5 plus 4, a 15 minus 7 candy problem, and seasonal vocabulary about werewolves and Dracula. Children practice multi-step reasoning, two-digit subtraction, and inference, preparing them for the longer word problems they will meet next year.
