This is the preview. Hit "Print this worksheet" above to open a clean, ad-free, one-page version with name and date lines and writing space for each problem. A separate answer key prints on the second page for the grown-up. Tear it off before handing the practice page to your child.
Designed for Grade 2 learners, this printable explores Word problems within 100 through clear, scaffolded problems that grow in difficulty across the page so kids hit a stretch challenge after the easy warm-up.
Each printable is a single black-and-white page that prints cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper, so teachers and parents can run off a class set or a single copy without wasting toner. Mastery looks like solving most problems correctly without resorting to finger counting or repeated guessing.
Strong students can race the clock and aim for a personal best. Students who need more support can work in pairs and explain their thinking out loud, which is one of the highest-leverage moves in elementary math because it forces students to put fuzzy thinking into clear words.

Parents tell us the most useful thing about this Word problems within 100 page is how fast they can hand it to a kid. No login. No PDF locked behind an email gate. Click print, hand it over, get ten quiet minutes of real math practice without prepping anything.
This worksheet is aligned to Common Core State Standard CCSS.Math.2.NBT and supports the broader Addition within 100 progression that students continue to build through later grades. The same skill is revisited each year with greater abstraction, so the work your student does on this single sheet feeds into the multi-digit and multi-step problems they will see in middle school.

How to use this worksheet
Print one copy per child on standard letter or A4 paper. Set a quiet 10 to 15 minute window. Hand your student a sharpened pencil and an eraser, and let them work top to bottom. The first row is a warm-up on purpose. The last row is a stretch on purpose. Sit with them as they finish so any misconceptions surface right away instead of getting practiced into a bad habit.
If your student finishes quickly, flip the page over and ask them to write two new problems of their own that target the same skill. It's a powerful retention move. If they get stuck, pull out manipulatives that match the skill (counters for early addition, base-ten blocks for place value, fraction tiles for fractions) and work through one or two problems together before letting them try the rest on their own.
