2nd Grade

In grade two, students will extend their understanding of place value to the hundreds place. They will use this place value understanding to solve word problems, including those involving length and other units of measure. Students will continue to work on their addition and subtraction skills, quickly and accurately adding and subtracting numbers up through 20 and also working with numbers up through 100. They will also build a foundation for understanding fractions by working with shapes and geometry. Activities in these areas will include: 

• Quickly and accurately adding numbers together that total up to 20 or less or subtracting from numbers up through 20 

• Solving one- or two-step word problems by adding or subtracting numbers up through 100 

• Understanding what the different digits mean in a three-digit number 

• Adding and subtracting three digit numbers

• Measuring lengths of objects in standard units such as inches and centimeters 

• Solving addition and subtraction word problems involving length

• Solving problems involving money 

• Breaking up a rectangle into same-size squares 

• Dividing circles and rectangles into halves, thirds, or fourths

• Solving addition, subtraction, and comparison word problems using information presented in a bar graph

• Writing equations to represent addition of equal numbers

Learning and Home Activities

• For videos, fun home activities, and other resources that are all directly connected with the specific math your child is currently learning, just click on the correct module/mission link in the Home Connection section (above)! 

• From the Ohio Department of Education, here are some real-world activities you can do at home any time:

  • • Create math problems about things happening at home. For example: “We started dinner with 10 slices of pizza but have eaten 3, so how many are left?”

    • Determine the value of coins up to one dollar. 

    • Write two different three-digit numbers on a piece of paper and ask your child which one is greater or less than.

    • Ask your child to tell you what time it is. 

    • Practice using a ruler to measure household items. 

Digital Program Options for Math Practice

• DreamBox - DreamBox is used in the classroom to complement daily math instruction. DreamBox adapts to students’ actions to meet them at their level with personalized instruction that promotes student decision making and strategy development, closing gaps or moving on to additional challenges as needed.  Students will access DreamBox through Clever.  The recommended goal is for students to complete at least 5 lessons a week to show growth.  

• Reflex - On Reflex, students practice basic math facts in a fun digital format. Students should work to achieve their green light each day.  Students will access Reflex through Clever.
