Grade 2 Addition Worksheets
Grade 2 is when children learn column addition. The easy sheet adds a 1-digit number to a 2-digit number, the medium sheet adds two 2-digit numbers without carrying, and the hard sheet practises regrouping (carrying) with word problems. Every sheet has 20 questions and an answer key.
What is on each sheet
- Easy: 2-digit + 1-digit, no regrouping. A confidence builder that practises the core skill on its own.
- Medium: 2-digit + 2-digit, no regrouping. One new step, so children stretch without getting stuck.
- Hard: 2-digit + 2-digit with regrouping and word problems. The last four questions are short word problems that ask children to choose the sum themselves.
Each worksheet prints on one A4 page with space to work, followed by a separate answer key page. Print only the first page for the child and keep the key for checking.

Worked example
How to use these sheets
- Start with the easy sheet and do not rush: accuracy first, speed comes later.
- Check with the answer key together and ask your child to redo any wrong answers, explaining each step out loud.
- Move up a level after 18 or more correct answers. If a level feels too hard, make a new sheet at the level below.
- Keep sessions short. Ten focused minutes a day builds fluency faster than one long session a week.
Frequently asked questions
What is regrouping in addition?
Regrouping (also called carrying) happens when a column adds up to 10 or more. Ten ones become one ten, which moves to the tens column.
Why start without regrouping?
It lets children learn to line up ones and tens correctly before adding the extra step of carrying.
