Second Grade Talking Points

• "Mathematics is the study of numbers and how we use them to solve problems."
• "Addition is when we combine two or more numbers to find the total."
• "Subtraction is when we take away a number from another number to find the difference."
• "Multiplication is a way of repeated addition. For example, 2 x 3 means adding 2 three times: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6."
• "Division is the opposite of multiplication. It is splitting a number into equal parts. For example, 6 ÷ 2 means dividing 6 into 2 equal groups: 6/2 = 3."
