|2nd Grade Number Sense| In second grade math, number sense will
be an area of math that students spend a lot of time on. Number
sense means having an understanding of basic math skills and
numbers, including what they are, what they represent, and the
rules for using them. Place value will be used more and more,
focusing on counting and grouping objects into ones, tens, and
hundreds. Students will have fun learning about expanded form
and will be able to identify numbers written in this form.
They’ll also be able to give the value of a digit within a
larger number. Zero becomes a focus and they’ll learn to use it
as a placeholder. Number sense in second grade also includes
writing numbers and matching them to numerals. It includes
comparing and ordering numbers, using words and symbols for
greater than, less than, and equal to. Students will practice
skip counting up to 1,000 using both mental math and pictures.
They’ll continue skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, and also
start skip counting by 3s and 4s. Stu
