Add Two 2-Digit Numbers Worksheets

Add Two 2-Digit Numbers – Differentiated Worksheets (Year 2)

These differentiated worksheets (4 levels each LG) support Year 2 learners in adding two 2-digit numbers, both with and without crossing 10

Learning Goal A – Add two 2-digit numbers (not across a 10) (White Rose Step 15)

• Builds on prior Year 2 addition learning.
• Focuses on combining tens and ones without exchanging.
• Levels 1–2: visual base-ten representations to secure place value understanding.
• Level 3: missing-part problems to deepen reasoning.
• Extension: part-whole and bar models for challenge and problem-solving.

Learning Goal B – Add two 2-digit numbers (across a 10) (White Rose Step 16)

• Children practise exchanging 10 ones for 1 ten.
• Levels 1–2: related facts and colour-coded ones to scaffold exchanges.
• Level 3: scaffolds removed, encouraging independent working.
• Extension: abstract calculations with helpful number facts only.
