Mathematics 2

In Mathematics 2, students begin developing the necessary skills to solve problems mentally and to explain, by either speaking or writing, how they solved a problem. They learn to count to 1,000 and identify even and odd numbers. Students discover multiple strategies for adding and subtracting numbers, and they determine which strategies work best for various problem types. They work with number lines and use these tools to represent whole numbers, sums, and differences. In this course, students expand their knowledge of place value and utilize this concept to compare numbers. They use standard units of measurement to express the lengths of objects in inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters. Mathematics 2 introduces digital and analog time and presents students with word problems involving money. In addition to exploring monetary values, students learn to use the dollar and cent symbols appropriately. Students also deepen their understanding of geometric shapes while dividing shapes into halves, thirds, and fourths. Additionally, students are introduced to new ways of representing data, including line plots, picture graphs, and bar graphs. This course uses mathematics manipulatives to help students visualize problems and includes a printed Parent and Teacher Guide to help you support your student’s learning.
