Grade 2 Social Studies Worksheet - Challenge Me
Write trading or buying.
Read this first
Trading means two people give each other things and no money is used. Buying means a person pays money for a good or a service.
Dad pays for gas at the gas station.
Tom trades his scooter for a skateboard.
Nina trades her sandwich for a banana.
Emma buys a sandwich at the cafe.
Kai pays a dollar for a pencil at the school store.
A farmer exchanges wool for a pair of boots.
People get the things they want in more than one way. They can trade, which means two people give each other things they have and no money changes hands. They can also buy, which means they pay money for a good, such as a loaf of bread, or a service, such as a haircut. This worksheet gives six short sentences about different people, and your child writes trading or buying on the line for each one.
Ask one question every time: did anyone pay money? If nobody did, it is a trade. Talk about times your family has swapped something, and times you have used money to get what you needed. Some trades are between friends and some are between businesses, but the question is always the same: is money part of it? A tip at the top of the page gives both words in one line.
