Second grade is when times tables start showing up. Most curricula introduce the 2s, 5s and 10s multiplication tables at this age, along with two-digit addition, place value, and proper paragraph reading. Kids who got through Grade 1 on finger counting will hit a wall here — the numbers have outgrown the fingers and they need new strategies.
This page pulls together the games and worksheets that make that transition easier. Times Tables Challenge introduces multiplication as a speed game from day one, which is the best way to get 2s and 5s automatic before the harder tables arrive next year. Math Quiz Challenge drills mixed operations so addition and subtraction stay sharp while multiplication is being added to the mix. Our Grade 2 worksheets cover place value, two-digit addition with regrouping, and word problems — the core of Grade 2 maths on paper.
For reading, Word Spell at its harder levels matches Grade 2 vocabulary, and we've linked sight words and rhyming worksheets for the literacy side. Non-maths arcade games like Brick Breaker, Snake and Memory Match give kids the 'reward' time that keeps longer practice sessions feeling voluntary rather than forced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a 2nd grader know in maths?+
Two-digit addition and subtraction (with regrouping by end of year), the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, place value to 100, and telling time to 5-minute increments. Our Grade 2 worksheets and games hit all of these.
When should multiplication practice start?+
Early Grade 2 for most kids. Start with the 2s, 5s and 10s via Times Tables Challenge — these three tables are the foundation the harder ones build on.
Are these Common Core aligned?+
The maths content matches Common Core Grade 2 objectives, UK Year 2 curriculum, and CBSE Class 2 — regrouping, place value and the early multiplication tables all line up.
What's a good weekly practice schedule?+
Monday to Friday: 20 minutes daily mixing one maths game and one worksheet. Weekends off or a single Saturday 'fun' session with arcade games as a reward.
