Printable 2nd grade worksheets
Seven and eight: the times tables start, money and clocks arrive, handwriting drops to half an inch, and the first joined letters appear. It is the busiest year in this catalog, which is why nearly every shelf has something on this page.

Where to start
Three worth printing this week, out of everything below.
- Multiplication facts, 1 to 12 — The tables, on paper, and the same facts the flash cards deal.
- Handwriting paper — ½ inch — Half an inch: small enough that a sentence fits on a line.
- Spelling practice — write it three times — This week’s list, written out, or your own list typed in.
Everything for ages 7 and 8
104 sheets across 11 shelves, and each of them is a page that is itself the sheet — open it, press print, and that is the whole of it.
Math
Worksheets from adding to twenty through to word problems, each with its answer key on the page behind it.
Handwriting
Letters traced, then copied, then written on an empty line — the same three steps at every size of ruling.
Cursive
The same progression again in a joined hand, including the page printing never needed — the joins themselves.
Penmanship
For the child who can form every letter and still hands in a page nobody can read: strokes, sizes, spaces, judging your own work, and the alphabet against the clock.
Bible
Scripture copywork, handwriting and memory work: the sheets above with a passage on them, in a public-domain translation.
Spelling
This week’s list in five shapes, the first sight words, and the pages on how words are put together.
Grammar
How a sentence is put together — the parts of speech, its two halves, what it is for, and the marks that finish it.
Phonics
Built from the sounds you have ticked, so a sheet never contains a spelling that has not been taught yet.
Charts and grids
References with nothing on them to answer: hundred charts, number lines, coordinate grids and place-value columns.
Forms and planners
The paperwork a week needs — logs, reports, calendars, charts, certificates and cards. Supposed to be empty.
Paper
Ruled paper by the sheet: notebook rules, the five handwriting sizes, and squares, dots and triangles.
What second grade means on this page
The ages come off each sheet, not off a standard we do not have.
Multiplication is the one to be systematic about, because it is the last piece of arithmetic that is pure recall and everything after it — long division, fractions, ratio — is built on the assumption that it is already automatic. The worksheets and the twelve times-table pages here are the same facts as the flash cards in The Grid, so a table can be practiced on paper in the morning and raced on screen in the afternoon.
Cursive can start this year, and the sheets say what most cursive worksheets leave out: the joins are the skill. A child who can form twenty-six cursive letters and cannot join them writes print with curls on it, so the alphabet, the joins and the words are three separate sheets rather than one.
No sheet on this site is assigned to a school year. Each one states the ages it was drawn for on its own page — Ages 8–11 on the division worksheet, because that is who those numbers suit — and this page collects the sheets whose stated ages reach 7 or 8, which is where most children are in second grade. So the same sheet appears on two or three of these pages, and that is the honest answer rather than a lapse: a sheet for nine to twelve belongs to the fourth-grader and the seventh-grader both.
If your child is working a year either side of their class, the neighboring page is the one to use and nothing here will disagree with you about it. Curriculum and grade levels differ by state, by country and by family, and a worksheet site that told you otherwise would be inventing a standard to sound authoritative.
The rest of the Print Shop
Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.

Your child’s name is not in the file
Where a sheet has a Name: line at all, it is printed blank and filled in with a pencil. Nothing is uploaded to make one, no account is needed to print one, and a sheet you send to another family carries the settings you chose and nothing else — see what we don’t collect.
