A seven-year-old can solve 62 − 43 and still freeze when the teacher asks, “What is the difference?” The math is fine; the word is the problem. This 2nd grade addition and subtraction vocabulary worksheet gives those words a clear home. At the top, two small diagrams label every part of 3 + 5 = 8 and 5 − 3 = 2: the plus sign, the minus sign, the equal sign, the addend, the sum, the minuend, the subtrahend and the difference. Short definitions sit underneath. Below, four equations have numbers underlined, and your child ticks the box with the matching word. A cartoon firefighter with a hose adds a bit of action. A second page gives the answer key.
