Handbook Learning Route
Grade 2 is where arithmetic starts to become strategic. Students should move beyond counting by ones, understand hundreds-tens-ones, use regrouping with meaning, and apply operations to money, time, measurement, arrays, and data.

Place value, skip counting, and arrays make the structure of numbers visible before longer calculations.
Addition, subtraction, regrouping, and number-line jumps turn arithmetic into explainable choices.
Money, time, measurement, graphs, and shapes help students use math language outside plain equations.
Fluently add within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write equations expressing the total as a sum of equal addends.
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths given in the same units.
Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools (rulers, yardsticks) and standard units.
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and Β’ symbols appropriately.
Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line; represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number-line diagram.
Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones.
Add and subtract within 1000 using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value; relate the strategy to a written method.
Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s, recognizing the additive pattern at each step.
Fluently subtract within 100, including regrouping (borrowing) across the tensβones boundary.
Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
