What your child should master by the end of 2nd Grade
By the end of 2nd Grade, a child should work fluently with addition and subtraction within 100 and understand place value up to 1,000. Students begin laying the groundwork for multiplication through equal groups and arrays, measure with standard units, and work with money and time.
Key learning topics:
Add and subtract within 100 fluently; add and subtract within 1,000
Understand place value to 1,000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s
Solve one- and two-step word problems with addition and subtraction
Work with equal groups and arrays as a foundation for multiplication; identify odd and even
Measure length in standard units and compare lengths
Solve money problems and tell time to the nearest five minutes
Partition rectangles and circles into halves, thirds, and fourths
Proficiency looks like: a child who can add and subtract two-digit numbers with regrouping, count by tens and hundreds, and count a handful of coins.
