Grade 2 Math

Course Description

In this course, students will deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts through hands-on activities and real-world applications. Emphasizing problem-solving and critical thinking, the course covers:

  • Numbers to 20 and Data: Students will add and subtract numbers in their heads and understand how to make equal groups to start learning about multiplication. 
  • Place Value: Students will represent amounts of tens and ones to compare three-digit numbers in different forms and learn how to skip count up to one thousand. 
  • Money and Time: Students will count money and read and write time to the nearest 5 minutes with both a digital and analog clock.
  • Two-Digit Addition and Subtraction: Students will add and subtract problems with two digits as well as add multiple addends at one time. 
  • Three-Digit Addition and Subtraction: Students will add and subtract problems with three digits that regroup and do not regroup.
  • Measurement and Length: Students will estimate and measure within inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters. Students will also learn how to choose the correct measuring tool.
  • Geometry and Fractions: Students will identify shapes by edges, sides, faces, and vertices. Students will also learn how to identify and write fractions based on equal partitions.
     

Course Big Ideas

  • Understanding numbers, patterns, and data through mental math, equal groupings, and visual models helps us solve problems efficiently, communicate clearly, and make sense of the world around us.
  • Understanding place value and number patterns helps us read, write, compare, and make sense of numbers, allowing us to see structure and meaning in our number system.
  • Understanding the value of money and how to tell time helps us solve real-world problems, make responsible decisions, and manage everyday tasks accurately and confidently.
  • Using place value, strategies, and models helps us accurately solve and explain addition and subtraction problems—and apply our understanding to real-world situations.
  • Understanding place value and employing strategies such as regrouping and decomposing enables us to solve multi-digit addition and subtraction problems accurately and explain our reasoning clearly.
  • Understanding how to choose and use measurement tools and units helps us estimate, measure, and solve real-world problems accurately using addition and subtraction.
  • Recognizing and describing shapes, equal groups, and partitions helps us understand geometry, build a foundation for multiplication and fractions, and make sense of the world through visual models.
