# Addition and Subtraction Word Search

In Grade 2, you investigate addition and subtraction within 100 ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29844)). You learn that a sum can be composed in multiple ways ([Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29847)), and you use strategies like regrouping to add and subtract two-digit numbers ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29850)). This word search helps you become familiar with the words and ideas you use when you add and subtract ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29852)).
