How it works
Math flash cards for 2nd graders in seven sets: adding and subtracting to 20, hundreds, tens and ones, 10 or 100 more or less, counting by 5s, 10s and 100s, odd or even, greater or less, and coins.

Start with facts that cross ten
The deck opens on Add and subtract to 20: facts such as 8 + 5 and 14 − 9, where the back shows how to pass through ten. Turn one card, then move on under Show only to place value, counting patterns, odd or even, comparing or coins, or open More options to type the answers.
Print the cards for a math center
Choose one set, turn a card and press the print button under the card. Twelve cards fill a sheet; print on both sides, flipped on the long edge, and each answer lands behind its question: 25 behind 2 dimes and 1 nickel.
- On a coin card, count the largest coins first: quarters, then dimes, nickels and pennies.
- An even number splits into two equal groups. An odd number leaves one over.
Questions and answers
What math facts should a 2nd grader know?
By the end of grade 2 the Common Core asks a child to know from memory every sum of two one-digit numbers and to add and subtract within 20 with ease. Our reading, not an alignment.
How do you know if a number is odd or even?
Pair it up. If every one has a partner, the number is even: 12 is 6 + 6. If one is left over, it is odd: 13 is 6 + 6 + 1.
How much is a quarter, a dime, a nickel and a penny?
A quarter is 25 cents, a dime is 10, a nickel is 5 and a penny is 1. Together the four coins make 41 cents.
What does the 0 mean in 307?
It holds the tens place. 307 is 3 hundreds, 0 tens and 7 ones; without the zero the number would read 37.
