Grade 2

Comprehensive Overview

Second grade (2nd grade) mathematics content regularly incorporates the 8 Mathematical Practices, the Statistical Reasoning Framework, and the Mathematical Modeling Framework through four big ideas: (1) Numerical Reasoning, (2) Measurement and Data (Statistical) Reasoning, (3) Patterning and Algebraic Reasoning, and (4) Geometric and Spatial Reasoning. Students in second grade will develop deeper understandings of the structure of the base-ten place value system, part-whole thinking to build strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems and begin to build the foundations of for understanding multiplication using equal groups and arrays. Students will also explore a variety of patterns to further develop algebraic reasoning, build on measurement experiences to make sense of measurement using standard units, explore problems with time and money, sort shapes based on attributes, explore symmetry, and create visual representations of halves, thirds, and quarters by partitioning shapes.

Coweta County School System follows the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) curriculum and instructional learning plans, adhering to the state-designed scope and sequence.

To support instruction, grade-specific teacher guides and weekly lesson plans have been developed for Coweta County educators. These resources are available in the Elementary Math Shared Drive, organized by grade band.

Access to the shared drive requires you being a member. If you do not have access, please contact your school's ETSS to request to be added.
