Grade 2 is where your child builds the number sense that every later math topic depends on. Our structured program makes numbers feel natural through hands-on learning, visual aids and everyday examples, like loonies and toonies.

Key Topics Covered:

Place value to 200, addition and subtraction strategies, equal groups and arrays, time and money, measuring in centimetres and metres, shapes, patterns and coding, halves and fourths, and graphs.

Parent Tip:

At this age, confidence matters more than speed. Try counting a jar of loonies, toonies and quarters together at the kitchen table. We make sure each idea clicks before moving on.

Read, write and compare numbers to 200 with confidence

Add and subtract fluently within 100 and solve problems within 200

Use arrays and equal groups to prepare for multiplication in Grade 3

Tell time to five minutes and count loonies, toonies and other Canadian coins

Measure in centimetres and metres and read pictographs and bar graphs

Split shapes into halves and fourths

No.	Topic	What We Cover
01	Place Value Foundations to 200	Read, write and show numbers to 200 with base ten blocks, place value charts and hundreds charts. Practise telling 103 from 130.
02	Number Lines and Skip Counting	Count to 200 and skip count by 2s, 5s, 10s and 25s on number lines. Place numbers and solve missing number puzzles.
03	Hundreds, Tens and Ones with Blocks	Build three-digit numbers to 200 with blocks and see that 146 means 1 hundred, 4 tens and 6 ones. Link each digit to its value.
04	Expanded Form and Number Names	Write numbers in standard form, expanded form and words, such as 148 = 100 + 40 + 8.
05	Comparing and Ordering Numbers	Compare and order numbers to 200 using place value and the symbols greater than, less than and equal to.
06	Facts Within 20 Fluency	Build quick recall of sums and differences within 20 with ten frames, doubles and make-a-ten strategies.
07	Odd and Even Numbers	Tell odd from even by pairing objects and write even numbers as doubles, such as 8 = 4 + 4.
08	Add and Subtract Within 100	Use place value strategies, hundreds charts and open number lines to add and subtract within 100.
09	Dollar Word Problems	Choose add or subtract for simple purchases using whole dollars, such as buying a $12 book with a $20 bill.
10	Term 1 Check-In and Review	Revise place value, facts and strategies through mixed tasks. A termly mock test and parent report follow.
