Addition and Subtraction of Three-Digit Numbers

When you use it

Use this method when the sum of digits in any place value column equals 10 or greater.

Watch out

Forgetting to add the carried-over digit into the next place value column on the left.

Drafted from Grade 2 Mathematics, pages 24-44, then checked twice before it went up

When you use it

Use this method to add two-digit or three-digit numbers vertically when the sum in each place value is 9 or less.

Watch out

Adding digits from different place values, such as adding a ones digit to a tens digit.

n×1n \times 1nn

When you use it

Use this to quickly find the product when multiplying any number by 0 or 1.

Watch out

Multiplying by 0 always results in 0, while multiplying by 1 leaves the number unchanged.

Drafted from Grade 2 Mathematics, page 45 onwards, then checked twice before it went up

When you use it

Use this when multiplying whole numbers by 10.

Watch out

Do not add 10 to the number, place a 0 at the end of the number.

When you use it

Use this when finding the product of any number and 2, which means doubling.

Watch out

Multiplying by 2 means adding the number to itself, not adding 2 to the number.

When you use it

Follow these steps when solving mathematical word problems.

Watch out

Identify what is given and what is asked before choosing the operation and calculating.

ርዝመትን በሳንቲሜትር እና በሜትር መለካት

When you use it

Use when combining or finding the difference between two length measurements.

Watch out

Add or subtract only quantities that have the exact same unit of measurement.

Drafted from Grade 2 Mathematics, pages 80-101, then checked twice before it went up

When you use it

Use when identifying the rule of a pattern or finding missing terms in a sequence.

Watch out

Find the complete repeating core unit before filling in missing members.

When you use it

Use this rule to determine the number of sides or corners of any plane figure.

Watch out

The number of sides and the number of corners in a plane figure are always equal.

When you use it

Use this concept when comparing two or more geometric shapes by shape and size.

Watch out

Similar figures have the exact same shape, but they can differ in size.

09

Ethiopian Money

When you use it

Use this rule when adding or subtracting amounts given in Birr and Santim.

Watch out

Never add Birr directly to Santim. Always compute Birr with Birr and Santim with Santim separately.

Drafted from Grade 2 Mathematics, page 123 onwards, then checked twice before it went up

C=APC = A - P
CC
Change returned to the buyerBirr\text{Birr}
AA
Amount of money given to the sellerBirr\text{Birr}
PP
Total price of the items purchasedBirr\text{Birr}

When you use it

Use this formula to find the correct change returned after paying for goods.

Watch out

Do not subtract the money given from the price. Always subtract the price from the money given.

Questions students ask

What do the Grade 2 Mathematics cards cover?
15 cards across 6 chapters of the national textbook: Addition and Subtraction of Three-Digit Numbers, እስከ 20 ያሉ ቁጥሮችን በ2 ማባዛት, ርዝመትን በሳንቲሜትር እና በሜትር መለካት, ከተሳለ ስዕል በመነሳት መረጃዎችን መመደብ, የጠለል ምስሎችን በማየት መመደብ and Ethiopian Money. You can take any chapter one card at a time on the page itself.
Is there a national exam in Grade 2?
No. Ethiopia sets national exams in Grade 6, Grade 8 and Grade 12 only. These cards are for your school's own exams, and for the national exam that comes a few years later.
Where do these cards come from?
They are drafted from Grade 2 Mathematics, the Ministry of Education textbook for this grade. A second pass that cannot see the chapter then re-derives every formula, constant and table row, and anything it cannot confirm is held back instead of published.
Is this free?
Yes. Every card here is free to read and the printable sheet is free to download. Neither needs an account.
When was this last checked?
30 August 2026. Cards arrive chapter by chapter, and the line under each one says when that card was last read through.

Revise, then test yourself

Temari turns these cards into practice questions and marks them as you go, with an AI tutor to explain anything that did not land.
