What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 2, students apply the addition-subtraction relationship to two-digit numbers, using inverse operations to check their work. After solving a subtraction problem, students add the answer back to the amount subtracted to confirm they arrive at the original number — a habit that builds both accuracy and a deeper understanding of how the operations connect.
Word problems become two-step and increasingly require students to decide which operation, or combination of operations, a situation calls for. Regrouping (carrying and borrowing) is practised for both operations in parallel, since the place-value reasoning behind each is closely related. Estimation is introduced as a way to predict whether an answer should be reasonable before computing, regardless of which operation is used.
Skills Covered
- Adding and subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping
- Checking subtraction answers using addition
- Choosing between addition and subtraction in two-step word problems
- Estimating sums and differences before computing
- Understanding regrouping (carrying and borrowing) as related place-value processes
- Using base-ten blocks to model both operations
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): adding and subtracting whole numbers to 100 and using the inverse relationship to verify answers.
Parent Tip: After your child solves a subtraction problem, ask them to 'prove it' by adding the answer back. This single check-your-work habit reduces careless errors and reinforces why the operations are connected.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
How many addition and subtraction problems should my child practice daily?
10-15 problems per day is a good target. Consistency matters more than volume. Short daily sessions build fluency without causing frustration.
What strategies help with addition and subtraction?
Number bonds, counting on, making ten, and using a number line are effective strategies. Start with manipulatives for younger students, then transition to mental math.
When should my child memorize addition and subtraction facts?
Most curricula expect basic fact fluency (sums to 20) by the end of Grade 2. Focus on understanding first, then build speed through regular practice.
