This challenging worksheet leads second graders through Spooky Story Riddles in two thinking sections. Part A offers four multiple-choice problems, including Ella's 16 popcorn balls minus the 9 her friends ate, Sam combining 6 candy corns with 8 gummy worms, and a vocabulary question asking what squeaked means in a wooden gate sentence.
Part B continues with five fill-in-the-blanks featuring 12 witches minus 4, a three-addend sum of 9 plus 3 plus 5, and seasonal words such as web and costumes. Each task builds two-step word problem skills, subtraction fluency within 20, and the careful reading needed for stronger comprehension.
