Bring Groundhog Day to life with this 10-page, black-and-white Groundhog Adventure Journal Math worksheet set for Grade 2. In this story-based resource, students read journal entries written from the groundhog’s point of view as he counts days underground, tracks time, measures shadows, records weather, and finally emerges above ground. Each worksheet blends narrative comprehension with math skills such as time, number patterns, data analysis, comparison, and word problems.

Every worksheet includes 10 carefully scaffolded math questions, with the final question designed to reinforce reasoning, reflection, or explanation. This resource is structured for academic rigor while maintaining high engagement through storytelling—perfect for Groundhog Day or February math units.
