2nd grade 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 quarters and dollar bills.

Key Topics Covered:

Place value to 1,000, addition and subtraction strategies, equal groups and arrays, time and money, measuring, shapes, halves, thirds and fourths, and graphs.

Parent Tip:

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

Read, write and compare numbers to 1,000 with confidence

Add and subtract fluently within 100 and solve problems within 1,000

Use arrays and equal groups to prepare for multiplication in 3rd grade

Tell time to five minutes and count coins and dollar bills

Measure lengths and read picture graphs, bar graphs and line plots

Split shapes into halves, thirds and fourths

No.	Topic	What We Cover
01	Place Value Foundations to 1,000	Read, write and show numbers to 1,000 with base-ten blocks, place value charts and hundreds charts. Practice telling 303 from 330.
02	Number Lines and Skip Counting	Count to 1,000 and skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s on number lines. Place numbers and solve missing number puzzles.
03	Hundreds, Tens and Ones with Blocks	Build three-digit numbers with blocks and see that 706 means 7 hundreds, 0 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 482 = 400 + 80 + 2.
05	Comparing and Ordering Numbers	Compare three-digit numbers 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	Whole Dollar Word Problems	Choose add or subtract for simple purchases using whole dollars, such as buying a $12 book with $20.
10	Quarter 1 Check-In and Review	Revise place value, facts and strategies through mixed tasks. A quarterly mock test and parent report follow.
