Math
- The Second-grade child has learned to work with numbers under 1,000, including adding and subtracting with regrouping.
- The child has also learned about fractions and can identify and compare different fractions.
- In terms of geometry, the child has learned about 2D and 3D shapes, and can recognize and describe them.
- The child has also learned about time, including telling time on analog clocks and understanding the concept of elapsed time.
For continued development, encourage the child to practice math skills through games and real-life experiences. For example, they can play board games that involve adding and subtracting with regrouping, or they can help with tasks like measuring ingredients while cooking.
