This challenging worksheet, Problem Solving: Snowstorms and Winter Animals, asks second graders to tackle four multiple choice questions including a snowplow that cleared 15 streets in the morning and 8 in the afternoon, a 19 birds story with 7 flying away, the meaning of bare in 'bare branch,' and why squirrels gather nuts before winter.
Five fill-in-the-blank items practice three-addend sums like 9 plus 4 plus 6, the difference 17 minus 8, and key vocabulary including blizzard and when an owl hunts. Students build problem solving and inference skills with winter weather and animal reading.
