From our teachers' playbook

Counting all the way to 1,000!

What do 2nd graders learn about numbers?

Second grade is the year numbers get big! Kids count within 1,000 and skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s, so 340, 350, 360 feels as easy as 1, 2, 3. They read and write numbers three ways: as digits, as number words and in expanded form, like 607 = six hundred seven = 600 + 7. They compare numbers with > and <, sort odd from even, and learn to add 10 or 100 in their heads. The click moment? When a child sees that 607 has zero tens and says it right the first time.

Our favorite ways to make big numbers feel small

Big numbers only feel scary until kids can see them, say them and count them. These three moves do exactly that.

Bundle it into tens

Hand out a pile of straws and say "Count them, but every time you hit ten, rubber-band a bundle." Ten bundles become a hundred. When kids physically build 236 out of bundles and loose straws, the counting-to-1,000 work stops being memorized and starts making sense.

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Say it, write it, match it

Number words trip kids up more than digits do. Flash a card like "four hundred twelve" and have partners write the digits on whiteboards, then flip roles. Watch for 4012, the classic mistake, and talk it through out loud together.

Why it works: using clear, consistent math words out loud is one of the U.S. Department of Education's recommendations for elementary math.

Count a little, every day

Start each math block with a two-minute count: by 10s from 230, by 100s from 50, by 5s from 415. Then send a short counting page home twice a week. Short, frequent practice beats one counting unit in September.

Why it works: short practice spread over several days beats one long session, according to a large review of learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions parents and teachers ask us

How high should a 2nd grader count?

By the end of 2nd grade, kids count to 1,000 and skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s. They also read and write any number up to 1,000 in digits, words and expanded form.

Why does my child write 3005 for "three hundred five"?

They are writing exactly what they hear: 300, then 5. Show the number with bundles or place value blocks so they see there are no tens, then write it in a three-box place value chart. The zero holds the empty tens spot.

How do 2nd graders compare three-digit numbers?

They start at the biggest place. Compare the hundreds first, and only look at the tens if the hundreds match. Then they write it with >, < or =, like 482 > 428.

What are odd and even numbers in 2nd grade?

Even numbers can be split into two equal groups or paired up with nobody left over. Odd numbers always have one left. Kids check by pairing up counters, then notice the pattern in the ones digit.

How can I practice numbers at home?

Count by 10s or 100s in the car starting from a random number, read house numbers out loud, or ask "Which is bigger?" with prices at the store. A few minutes most days works better than one long session.
