This class will meet once a week on a day that your child is doing virtual learning or would like some extra math practice.  We will be going through the math curriculum for second grade using a spiraling curriculum meaning that concepts are revisited and repeated.  This course that will start the week of August 17th will run through the end of May, all of the second grade standards will be introduced during the year.  However, as all schools teach these concepts in a different order, please be advised that your child may be focusing on a different topic in their brick and mortar school than we are introducing or focusing on during any given week.

Second-grade math focuses on addition and subtraction.  This is done in many different ways.  This creates the foundation for this class.  We will start with number bonds and fact families to build our understanding of addition and subtraction which will be the base for instruction during the year.  Second-graders use addition with place value, money, and length, they also use it to build an understanding of multiplication and division through repeated addition and subtraction.   This course will focus heavily on those skills each week.   

Each week we will complete a timed addition or subtraction fluency page that we will graph.  To build our understanding of graphs and data handling but to also note our improvements in mental math.  These pages will be sent out at the beginning of each week to be printed before class.
