What's on this sheet
- Transport-themed addition word problems
- Transport-themed subtraction word problems
- Working space for drawings or number lines
- Class 2 operation range
Word problems build reasoning. Underline numbers first, then choose the operation.
Age fit: Class 2 maths when word problems enter formal homework — children who know facts but still guess operations need this sheet.
Ten-minute session script: “Story maths.” Read problem, act it with two toys, write sum, check with inverse operation if taught, stop.
Common mistakes: Adding because two numbers appear; ignoring ‘left’ or ‘more than’ language; skipping units in answers.
When to stop: When your child writes a sum without any story retelling — pause, oral retell, then one more problem max.
Indian context tip: Use auto fare, bus stops, and metro tokens in oral stories — Indian transport word problems make sense when children have seen tickets and change.
How to use this worksheet
- Read each word problem twice — underline numbers and the question sentence.
- Ask: “Are we joining or taking away?” before writing any operation.
- Draw a quick picture (bus, passengers) if your child is visual.
- Write one-line answer with units: “5 autos” not just “5”.
- Stop after two problems fully explained — third only if calm.
Frequently asked questions
My child guesses operations. How can I help?
Ask “are we putting together or taking away?” before writing the sum.
Should Class 2 show steps or only answer?
Show a picture or number line if school teaches it — process marks often start in Class 2 assessments.
My child adds when should subtract. Drill?
Drill language, not only sums. Sort problems into ‘join’ vs ‘take away’ piles before calculating.
Are two-digit numbers on this sheet?
This sample stays within Class 2 friendly numbers — check school pace if two-digit carry is not taught yet.
Can we do one problem in Hindi explanation?
Explain in Hindi if helpful, but write maths notation as school expects.
