Read a story about cookies to a seven-year-old and the total often pops out before the story ends. Writing the addition sentence that matches the story is the harder, more useful step. This 2nd grade write addition equations for stories worksheet offers three stories with two-digit numbers. First, a group eats 15 cookies, then 21 more. Next, Angie’s German shepherd weighs 30 kg and gains 10 kg. Finally, Ella’s fancy party has girls in pink and blue dresses and boys in suits, with three questions: how many girls, how many boys, and how many people in all. Gingerbread cookies and two party girls decorate the page. A second page gives the answer key.
