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.
