2nd Grade

What your 2nd Grader Needs to Know

2nd Grade sees students mastering their addition and subtraction math facts. This would be considered the essential math skill to master. Multiplying with 2,5, and 10s, addition with regrouping, and counting to 1,000 are skills to build. 

For language arts, the essential 2nd grade skills are identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in simple sentences. A 2nd grade student will practice sentence writing to the point of writing a simple paragarph without help.
