Mixed arithmetic in 2nd grade

Second grade can mix addition and subtraction within 100, and the point of mixing is the reading. When every question uses one operation a child can switch off and apply a procedure; when it changes each round, they have to look at the sign first. Habitually carrying the previous question's operation forward is the error to watch.

Second grade is the written-method year. Column addition and subtraction arrive, then regrouping, and with them the first arithmetic that has a procedure to follow rather than a fact to recall. Children who still lack instant facts within 20 find this year disproportionately hard, because they are running a procedure and reconstructing facts at the same time.

2nd graders are expected to mix addition and subtraction within 100 and choose the right operation for a problem; after that comes mixed addition and subtraction within 100.

Watch for reading the sign too quickly and adding when the problem says subtract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mixed practice better than practising one operation at a time?

Both have a use. Practising one operation builds the facts; mixing them builds the habit of reading the problem before answering, which is what breaks down in word problems and on tests. Use single-operation practice to fix a gap and mixed practice to keep it.

What mixed arithmetic should a 2nd grader know?

Enough to mix addition and subtraction within 100 and choose the right operation for a problem.

Why does my 2nd grader keep getting mixed arithmetic wrong?

Most often: reading the sign too quickly and adding when the problem says subtract.
