This hard worksheet, Think and Solve: Winter Holiday Challenges, pushes second graders with four multiple choice questions, including snowball word problems, a synonym question for 'freezing,' and a take-away problem about birds on a branch. Five fill-in-the-blank items cover three-number addition like 8 plus 7 plus 4, a penguin science fact, and the difference 18 minus 9.
It is excellent preparation for Grade 3 multi-step thinking.
