Measurement: Birthday Fun

Enjoy birthday cheer any day with this colorful second-grade worksheet! Learners will read through four word problems that describe situations involving length measurements in customary units. For each situation, students will need to decide whether to use addition or subtraction. Then, they’ll write and solve a number sentence that matches the problem. 

Use this worksheet to help develop students’ logical reasoning and their skills solving two-digit addition and subtraction problems. As they read the word problems, students can also get a sense of the types of objects that can be measured with the customary units of feet and inches.
