Grade 2 Math · Chapter 1, Lesson 6

Practice sheets

5 sheets for Find the Missing Number. Same topic on every one, but each asks for a different kind of thinking — so a child who has finished one has not simply done the next one already.

  1. 1. Work them outRecall and calculation, the plainest form of the skill.
  2. 2. Find the missing numberWorking backwards — a child who only knows the forward fact stalls here.
  3. 3. Read it and work it outDeciding which arithmetic the words are asking for, before doing any of it.
  4. 4. Find the mistakeError analysis. Checking somebody else’s work is not the same skill as doing it.
  5. 5. True or false?Judging a statement rather than producing an answer.
