Class 2 maths takes a big step up. Children work with numbers up to 1,000, learn place value (hundreds, tens and ones), add and subtract with carrying, meet multiplication tables, and read the clock and calendar. Word problems start to appear too, and they test reading as much as maths.
Here are 10 Class 2 maths questions from our practice bank with answers and explanations.

10 Class 2 Maths questions with answers
Ask your child to answer each question out loud first, then tap Show answer to check. The questions get a little harder as you go down each topic.
Numbers & Place Value
Q1. Read the abacus and choose the correct number.
A) 342
B) 324
C) 243
D) 432
Show answer
Answer: A) 342
The abacus shows 3 hundreds, 4 tens, and 2 ones, so the number is 342.
Q2. Count by 10s starting at 296. Which number will you say?
A) 350
B) 360
C) 365
D) 356
Show answer
Answer: D) 356
296 plus 6 tens is 356.
- The ones digit stays 6.
- Only one option ends in 6.
Common mistake: 350 and 360 do not end in 6.
Remember: Jumping by 10 keeps the ones digit.
Addition & Subtraction
Q3. Find the sum of all the numbers given inside the circle.
A) 160
B) 170
C) 180
D) 190
Show answer
Answer: C) 180

Q4. Which is the best estimate for 78 - 31?
A) 40
B) 50
C) 60
D) 110
Show answer
Answer: B) 50
80 - 30 = 50.
- 78 is close to 80.
- 31 is close to 30.
Common mistake: 110 adds the numbers instead of subtracting.
Remember: Round first for quick estimates.

Remember: Order does not change the product.
Q6. 7 x 3 = ?
A) 18

How to help your child with Class 2 Maths
- Ask "how did you get that?" Explaining the method out loud catches lucky guesses and builds real understanding.
- Use real things. Coins, a clock, a measuring tape or a pizza make numbers, time and fractions concrete.
- Do a little every day. Five to ten minutes of mixed practice beats one long weekend session.
- Revisit mistakes. Re-try a wrong question two days later. Getting it right then is what shows it has stuck.
Olympiad connection
Maths practice feeds directly into the IMO (International Mathematics Olympiad), whose Level 1 paper mixes logical reasoning, mathematical reasoning, everyday maths and an Achievers section. Our IMO 2026-27 guide has the full pattern. See our guides: Olympiad exams for Classes 1–5 · logical reasoning practice.
