Free Grade 2 Math Worksheets

Grade 2 Math Curriculum Overview

Second grade is where math gets serious about larger numbers. Students move from simple addition to working with numbers up to 1,000. Key focus areas include:

• Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Mastering addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems. Building foundational multiplication skills using arrays (odd/even numbers).
• Number & Operations in Base Ten: Understanding that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones.
• Measurement & Data: Measuring length using standard units (inches, feet, cm, meters) and solving problems involving money and time.
• Geometry: Partitioning circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares (introduction to fractions).

Tips for Second Grade Math Success

Regrouping (borrowing and carrying) is often the hardest concept for Grade 2 students. Here is how to help:

• Visual Aids: Use our **Place Value Worksheets** to visualize "trading" 10 ones for 1 ten.
• Practice Carrying: Use the **Addition Generator** to specifically create problems that require carrying (e.g., 45 + 37).
• Real Money: Practice counting bills and coins at the grocery store or with a piggy bank using our **Money Worksheets** as a guide.
