About this worksheet
Six Thanksgiving story problems for second grade with two-digit numbers: dinner rolls baked by two cousins, pumpkins left at the farm, floats at the parade, paper feathers for the class turkey. Three stories add and three subtract, mixed up, so children read for the question instead of guessing the operation. Answer key on page 2. It fits second grade, around ages 7 to 8. Draw a quick picture of each story before writing the number sentence.
On this sheet
write the answer. The class made 87 paper feathers for the turkey bulletin board and has glued 40. How many feathers are still to glue? Ella baked 43 dinner rolls and Emma baked 21 more. How many dinner rolls did they bake in all? The farm had 47 pumpkins. Families picked 17 of them for pies. How many pumpkins are still at the farm? Grandma set out 43 plates for Thanksgiving dinner and 23 more for dessert.
