Grade Level Expectations

In Grade 2, instructional time should focus on four areas:

(1) extending understanding of base-ten notation                        

(2) building fluency with addition and subtraction;                          

(3) using standard units of measure;                                                           

(4) analyzing and classifying two-dimensional shapes as polygons or non-polygons. 

Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in the instruction.

The mathematical work for grade 2 is partitioned into 8 units:

Unit 1: Sums and Differences to 100

Unit 2: Addition and Subtraction of Length Units

Unit 3: Place Value, Counting, and Comparison of Numbers to 1,000

Unit 4: Addition and Subtraction Within 200 with Word Problems to 100

Unit 5: Addition and Subtraction Within 1,000 with Word Problems to 100

Unit 6: Foundations of Multiplication and Division

Unit 7: Problem-Solving with Length, Money, and Data

Unit 8: Time, Shapes, and Fractions as Equal Parts of Shapes
