Mathematics focuses on building a deep understanding of concepts within four comprehensive strands: Number, Algebra, Geometry, and Data. Through high expectations and strong supports, students learn to communicate, represent, and make connections with all math concepts through critical thinking, authentic problem solving, mathematical reasoning, and perseverance. In Grade 2, a collaborative learning environment provides students with a variety of opportunities to focus on using place-value to represent multi-digit numbers, understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction, automaticity with addition and subtraction facts, solving problems that involve time and/or money, and measuring and estimating lengths.
