What second grade math covers
The Common Core gives grade 2 four focus areas: base-ten notation, fluency with addition and subtraction, standard units of measure, and shapes. Fluency means within 100 (2.NBT.5); within 1,000 it asks for models and strategies, not speed. These grade 2 math worksheets are mostly number work, with no shape, graph or even and odd sheet.
Where Texas and the Common Core differ
Math worksheets for grade 2 depend on the state. Texas takes numbers to 1,200 and word problems to 1,000; the Common Core stops at 1,000 and 100. Texas reads clocks to the minute, the Common Core to five minutes. Texas uses halves, fourths and eighths and saves thirds for grade 3. Even and odd runs to 40 in Texas, 20 in the Common Core.
- The 36 sums past 10, such as 8 + 5, are the second grade math facts that need a strategy.
- For 60 − 27, an answer of 47 means the child took the 0 away from the 7.
