2nd Grade Common Core Math: Number Talks

Use the common core to soar in second grade! In this ongoing class, learners will become knowledgable on the foundational skills for computational skills and reasoning abilities in math. There will be high engagement and participation and NO boredom! Your learner will look forward to class each week! This class will help your learner improve his/her mathematical reasoning skills, computational fluency, and number flexibility. Your learner will become successful during these hands on activities by both answering questions correctly and by making mistakes. Sometimes, we learn the most when we make a mistake! This is a safe environment where your learner is not expected to have the right answer all the time! The class size will be kept small in order to ensure every learner understands the material. Each class will be guided by the teacher, but students are also expected to write down and show their work in their own math notebooks or journals. Please see the supply list below for what would be best to have for your learner for the best experience in this class. The schedule is listed below. This is subject to change as needed based upon the progression of the learners' skills in class.
