From our teachers' playbook

Big numbers, bigger brains

What do 2nd graders learn in math?

Second grade math is all about growing numbers. Kids learn place value to 1,000, skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s, and add and subtract within 100 with regrouping, like 47 + 36 = 83. By the end of the year they should know addition and subtraction facts within 20 by memory. They also count money, tell time to the nearest five minutes, measure in inches and centimeters, read bar graphs and picture graphs, sort odd and even numbers, and build arrays like 3 rows of 4 = 12 that get them ready for multiplication.

Our go-to moves for 2nd grade math

Second graders learn a lot in one year. These three moves work for almost every topic on the list.

Blocks before borrowing

Before kids write a single regrouping problem, have them solve it with printable base ten blocks. For 52 minus 17, they must break a rod into ten ones to take away 7. When they see the trade, the written steps finally make sense.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Count it to music

Skip counting songs are the quickest way to lock in 5s and 10s, and kids use them later for money and time. Play one during morning meeting and have kids clap on each number. Telling time by 5s gets much easier when the song is already in their heads.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Mix it up on Fridays

Once a week, give a short mixed review: one place value question, one regrouping problem, one money question and one word problem. Mixing topics helps kids figure out which strategy to use, not just repeat the one from today.

Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

2nd grade math questions from parents

What math should a 2nd grader know?

By the end of 2nd grade, kids should add and subtract within 100 with regrouping, know facts within 20, understand place value to 1,000, tell time to five minutes, and count money. They also measure lengths and read simple graphs.

What is regrouping in 2nd grade math?

It is trading ten ones for one ten or one ten for ten ones when adding or subtracting. Some families know it as carrying and borrowing.

Do 2nd graders learn multiplication?

Not formally, but they build the foundation. They skip count, use repeated addition and make arrays, which prepares them for multiplication in 3rd grade.

How can I help my child with 2nd grade math at home?

Count coins together, read an analog clock, and play quick dice addition games. Short daily practice does more than one long homework session on the weekend.

Why is 2nd grade math harder?

Kids move from small numbers to three-digit numbers and from counting to regrouping. That jump takes time, so hands-on models and steady practice are a big help.
