This challenging sheet sets up beach brainteasers. Part A poses four multiple-choice questions: Rosa's 8 sand dollars and 7 starfish, the meaning of crept in a tide passage, 18 boogie boards minus 9 sold, and the smartest spot to build a sandcastle so the waves do not wash it away.

Part B adds five fill-in-the-blanks with three-addend sums like 7 plus 4 plus 5, crabs walking on the sand, 16 minus 7, lighthouses guiding ships at night, and 5 plus 8 plus 3. Second graders sharpen multi-step addition, vocabulary in context, and ocean reasoning.
