Course Description
Our goal is not only to help students excel at mathematical operations – but more importantly, to build a strong foundation in mathematical thinking so that children can confidently solve problems in both academics and everyday life.
The Grade 2 Math program is developed based on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) – a modern educational framework designed to holistically develop mathematical competence for 21st-century learners.
At this level, students begin to explore number structures in greater depth, work with more complex operations, and understand the connections between mathematics and daily life. They are encouraged to develop problem-solving skills, perseverance, and logical reasoning – essential foundations for future learning.
Through a multi-method, engaging, and interactive approach, the program not only helps students understand how to solve a problem but also why it is solved that way – fostering critical thinking and active learning.
By participating in real-world activities, math games, situational problems, and short-term projects, students will:
-
Expand their ability to calculate, reason, present, and analyze data
-
Strengthen accuracy, flexibility, and creativity in thinking
-
Develop autonomy, collaboration skills, and independent learning habits
The program is designed around five main topics:
-
Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
Students practice counting, reading, and writing numbers up to 1,000; understand the value of each digit in the ones, tens, and hundreds places; round numbers; and arrange numbers in ascending and descending order. -
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Develop addition and subtraction skills with regrouping up to 1,000; solve multi-step word problems; and explore multiplication and division through equal grouping and number sequence patterns. -
Measurement and Data
Practice measuring length, mass, and time using standard units; read clocks to the hour and minute; work with currency; and collect, represent, and interpret data using picture graphs and bar graphs. -
Geometry
Identify and classify 2D shapes and 3D solids; describe properties such as number of sides, angles, and faces; and understand concepts of symmetry, repeating patterns, and spatial positions. -
Math in Real Life
Apply mathematics to real-life situations such as shopping, planning, and sharing; develop problem-solving skills through practical problems, logic games, and collaborative activities.
Learning Approach
We believe that effective math learning does not come merely from repetitive exercises, but from deep understanding, mastery, and the ability to apply concepts in a variety of contexts.
That’s why the Grade 2 Math program is designed with a “learning through experience” approach, using multiple age-appropriate and online-friendly learning methods:
-
Visual Learning
Incorporates images, diagrams, charts, and video demonstrations to help students understand and retain mathematical concepts visually. -
Math Talk
Encourages students to explain their solutions, justify their choices, and discuss problem-solving strategies with peers or teachers. -
Game-based Practice
Uses interactive games to make practicing calculations and math concepts engaging, enjoyable, and natural. -
Real-life Problems
Integrates mathematics into everyday situations such as measuring, sharing, and shopping, so students understand the purpose and relevance of learning math. -
Personalized Pacing
The program is designed for flexibility, allowing students to learn at their own pace, according to their abilities and individual progress.
