Summer Math Packet for Rising 2nd Graders

A free summer review packet for students finishing 1st grade and heading into 2nd. It revisits the core skills — addition and subtraction within 20, place value, comparing numbers, fact families — and eases into early 2nd grade work like skip counting and telling time. Every worksheet has an answer key.

Who it's for

Parents who want to prevent the summer slide, teachers sending home a review packet, and tutors bridging 1st to 2nd grade.

What's included

7 printable worksheets with answer keys.

Beat the summer slide

Skills fade over a long summer break unless they get a little practice. This packet keeps a rising second grader sharp by reviewing the heart of first grade — addition and subtraction within 20, place value, comparing numbers, and fact families — and gently previewing second grade with skip counting and telling time.

There’s no need to do it all at once: a page or two a week over the summer is plenty. Each worksheet stands alone with its own answer key, so you can pull exactly what your child needs.
