Grade 2

Students in Second grade are expected to…

    • Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones.

    • Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

    • Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.

    • Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

Students in Second grade are expected to….

    • Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

    • Add and subtract within 1000.

    • Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

    • Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations

    • Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

    • Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20.

    • Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makse 10 when added to 8.

    • Add and subtract within 20. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten; decomposing a number leading to a ten; using the relationship between addition and subtraction; and creating equivalent but easier or known sums

Students in Second grade are expected to….

    • Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.

    • Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract (commutative property of addition; associative property of addition).

Students in Second grade are expected to….

    • Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members and write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.

    • Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

Students in Second grade are expected to….

  • Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes.

  • Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

Students in Second grade are expected to….

  • Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares.

  • Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

Students in Second grade are expected to….

  • Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

  • Measure the same length with different-sized units then discuss the measurement made with the smaller unit is more than the measurement made with the larger unit and vice versa.

  • Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters

  • Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.

Students in Second grade are expected to….

  • Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes.

  • Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately.

Students in Second grade are expected to….

  • Make a line plot to show measurement data of the lengths of several objects to the nearest whole-number unit.

  • Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories.

  • Solve simple put together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in the graph.
