• Everyday Math
     

    In Everyday Mathematics you can expect to see…

    …a problem-solving approach based on everyday situations

    …an instructional approach that revisits concepts regularly

    …frequent practice of basic skills, often through games

    …lessons based on activities and discussion, not a textbook

    …mathematical content that goes beyond basic arithmetic
     

    Content Emphasized in Grade 2 Mathematics

    In Everyday Mathematics, children develop a broad background by learning concepts and skills in all these six content strands.  The second-grade program emphasizes the following content.

    ·        Number and Numeration
           -Counting, reading and writing numbers
            -Identifying place value
            -Comparing Numbers
            -Working with fractions
            -Using money to develop place value and decimal concepts
    ·        Operations and Computation
            -Recalling addition and subtraction facts
            -Exploring fact families
            -Adding and subtracting with tens and hundreds
            -Beginning multiplication and division
            -Exchanging money amounts
    ·        Data and Chance
           -Collecting, organizing, and displaying data using tables, charts, and
             graphs
    ·        Measurement and Reference Frames
            -Using tools to measure length, weight, capacity, and volume
            -Using U.S. customary and metric measurement units
