Math

• A central theme in Grade 2 is understanding place
  value for whole numbers. Students develop
  understanding of the number system, including how
  the position of a digit affects its value, and
  use this knowledge to develop skill with more
  complex computation. They begin making
  measurements with standard measuring tools.
