What each level generates

Grade 2 sort by size — the exact skill behind each difficulty setting, straight from the generator.

  1. Level 1Above a number
  2. Level 2Below a number
  3. Level 3Between two numbers

Grade levels follow the progression common to most English-language curricula — not one specific national curriculum. Every level shows exactly what it generates, so you can check the fit with your own program. See the full scope & sequence →

Each one generates a different kind of question, with its own three levels and answer key.

Frequently asked questions

▸What data skills are expected in Grade 2?

Reading and building simple records of up to four categories, totalling them, and answering comparison questions — how many in each category, how many in all, and which categories are larger or smaller than a given amount.

▸What is the difference between the Grade 1 and Grade 2 sheets?

Grade 1 uses three categories with counts under ten; Grade 2 uses four categories with counts up to about eighteen, and adds Sort by Size, which asks how many categories fall above or below a number.

▸Do these sheets include tally charts?

No. A proper tally uses the five-bar gate, with a fifth stroke struck across four uprights, and that mark cannot be printed reliably in a PDF. Rather than print something that looks like a tally but counts differently, these sheets write the counts as numbers.

▸How many questions should a Grade 2 sheet have?

Ten is a good default and it is what the generator starts on. Use the stepper for anything from four to twenty, and Shuffle for a fresh set.

▸Can I print the answers separately?

Yes. Tick the answer key box and the answers print on their own page, so the worksheet itself stays clean for the child.
