Learning Expectations
2nd Grade Math
By second grade, students tend to be more confident about their mathematical abilities and are focused more on problem solving. Their knowledge in math is now more applied to real-life situations such as counting money and time. Their skills in adding and subtracting two digit numbers will also be more developed at this stage. By this time, students begin to learn how to reason and concentrate and to use mathematical strategies in problem solving.

8. Identifies and generates patterns in a list of related number pairs based on real-life situations (for example, T-chart with number of tricycles to number of wheels).

12. Uses concrete objects, paper and pencil, or mental mathematics to solve real-world equations with one unknown (such as, There are 28 students in the room, and 16 brought their lunches. How many are buying lunch?).
