SOM - In-Person - Grade 2 - Aurora North Newmarket

The Grade 2 curriculum introduces many mathematical concepts, and the weekly 1.5-hour class is packed with new learning each week. By the end of Grade 2, students can add, multiply, divide, as well as work with integers up to 2-digit by 1-digit calculations. Through drills, students work cooperatively to reach a class goal. They continue to master regrouping numbers to multiples of tens and hundreds, are introduced to primes, composites, special numbers, and they learn to list factors. Later in the year, the grade 2 students locate rationals on a number line, add and subtract positive and negative rationals, and gain a deep understanding of how numbers relate to each other. In addition our grade 2 students learn to convert numbers from base 10 to other bases with a focus on learning place value. Grade 2 students write tests throughout the year, as well as the Spirit of Math International Contest during class time, with an exam at the end of the year. The overall curriculum is fast-paced and engaging to our Grade 2 students.
