Grade 2 Regrouping Practice Test

Build Grade 2 math skills with five 10-question practice tests covering regrouping in addition and subtraction, place value, and word problems.

Regrouping Practice Tests

These Grade 2 Math practice tests help students regroup when adding or subtracting two-digit numbers. Students practice exchanging 10 ones for 1 ten, trading 1 ten for 10 ones, and explaining why the value stays the same.

Skills covered

  • Regrouping 10 ones as 1 ten during addition
  • Trading 1 ten for 10 ones during subtraction
  • Adding and subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping
  • Identifying when regrouping is needed
  • Solving regrouping word problems
  • Explaining regrouping with place-value language

How to use these practice tests

Complete one 10-question test at a time. Use base-ten blocks or quick drawings to show the exchange between tens and ones. Ask the student to explain why regrouping changes the form of a number but not its total value.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

In 27 + 18, what happens when 7 ones and 8 ones are added?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 15 ones are made, so 1 ten is regrouped.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: Ten ones can be regrouped as 1 ten, leaving 5 ones.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 15 ones are made, so 1 ten is regrouped.

Ten ones can be regrouped as 1 ten, leaving 5 ones.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

In 42 - 18, what does regrouping do?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is It trades 1 ten for 10 ones.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: When the top ones are too small, 1 ten is traded for 10 ones.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is It trades 1 ten for 10 ones.

When the top ones are too small, 1 ten is traded for 10 ones.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which problem requires regrouping in the ones place?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 36 + 28.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: In 36 + 28, 6 + 8 = 14, so one ten must be regrouped.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 36 + 28.

In 36 + 28, 6 + 8 = 14, so one ten must be regrouped.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which problem does not require regrouping?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 34 + 22.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: In 34 + 22, 4 + 2 = 6, so no new ten is needed.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 34 + 22.

In 34 + 22, 4 + 2 = 6, so no new ten is needed.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

How many ones are equal to 1 ten?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 10 ones.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: The base-ten system groups 10 ones into 1 ten.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 10 ones.

The base-ten system groups 10 ones into 1 ten.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

After solving 48 + 25, what should happen to 8 + 5 = 13?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Write 3 ones and regroup 1 ten.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: Thirteen ones are 1 ten and 3 ones, so 3 is written in the ones place and 1 ten is regrouped.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is Write 3 ones and regroup 1 ten.

Thirteen ones are 1 ten and 3 ones, so 3 is written in the ones place and 1 ten is regrouped.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

In 62 - 27, what is the first regrouping step?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Trade 1 ten so there are 12 ones.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: The 2 ones cannot subtract 7 ones, so one ten becomes 10 ones and joins the 2 ones.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is Trade 1 ten so there are 12 ones.

The 2 ones cannot subtract 7 ones, so one ten becomes 10 ones and joins the 2 ones.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Why is regrouping useful?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is It keeps the place values equivalent while making the operation possible.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: Regrouping changes the form of a number without changing its total value.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is It keeps the place values equivalent while making the operation possible.

Regrouping changes the form of a number without changing its total value.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 59 + 16?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 75.

  1. Check the ones: See whether the ones can be added or subtracted without changing the tens.
  2. Regroup if needed: Add 9 + 6 = 15, regroup 1 ten, then add 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 tens. The sum is 75.
  3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 75.

Add 9 + 6 = 15, regroup 1 ten, then add 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 tens. The sum is 75.
