Summer is prime time to keep skills sharp, and these beachy word problems do it by practicing the second-grade staple: deciding whether to add or subtract. Seashells, popsicles, and pools keep it light.

Underline the question, circle the numbers, choose the operation, and label the answer. The challenge problems add a second step. Same skill as the everyday addition & subtraction word problems.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Ideal for summer review packets. Have students underline the question and circle the numbers before deciding the operation.
