COURSE DESCRIPTION

The grade 2 math course continues to build on concepts applied in grade 1 math.
1 – Numbers
2 – Algebra
3 – Data
4 – Spatial Sense
5 – Financial Literacy
6 – Social emotional skills and math processes
Students work with numbers up to 200. They develop and apply their growing understanding of numbers in various ways, such as solving problems involving addition and subtraction. Students use shapes and numbers to continue to learn about patterns and how to extend them. They also learn about equality by adjusting pairs of addition and subtraction statements to make them equal. Students will develop code to move multiple objects from one location to another on a grid at the same time. Students continue to develop their understanding of data as they learn ways to collect, organize, display and interpret more complicated data. Students continue to develop their spatial sense as they learn to visualize what different shapes look like when they are turned around or taken apart. They learn to recognize and describe more complex shapes and create simple maps of familiar places. Students build on their understanding that money has value and identify different ways to represent the same amount of money. Students practice critical and creative thinking.
