Mathematics Standards
Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades,
by the end of Grade 2, students will:
Standard 4.1

(Number and Numerical Operations) All students will develop number sense and will perform standard numerical operations and estimations on all types of numbers in a variety of ways.

Standard 4.1.1.A Number Sense
Standard 4.1.1.A.1
Use real-life experiences, physical materials, and technology to construct meanings for numbers (unless otherwise noted, all indicators for grade 2 pertain to these sets of numbers as well).
• Whole numbers through hundreds
• Ordinals
• Proper fractions (denominators of 2, 3, 4, 8, 10)
Standard 4.1.1.A.2
Demonstrate an understanding of whole number place value concepts.
Standard 4.1.1.A.3
Understand that numbers have a variety of uses.
Standard 4.1.1.A.4
Count and perform simple computations with coins.
• Amounts up to $1.00 (using cents notation)
Standard 4.1.1.A.5
Compare and order whole numbers.
Standard 4.1.1.B  Numerical Operations
Standard 4.1.1.B.1
Develop the meanings of addition and subtraction by concretely modeling and discussing a large variety of problems.
• Joining, separating, and comparing
Standard 4.1.1.B.2
Explore the meanings of multiplication and division by modeling and discussing problems.
Standard 4.1.1.B.3
Develop proficiency with basic addition and subtraction number facts using a variety of fact strategies (such as "counting on" and "near doubles") and then commit them to memory.
Standard 4.1.1.B.4
Construct, use, and explain procedures for performing addition and subtraction calculations with:
• Pencil-and-paper
• Mental math
• Calculator
Standard 4.1.1.B.5
Use efficient and accurate pencil-and-paper procedures for computation with whole numbers.
• Addition of 2-digit numbers
• Subtraction of 2-digit numbers
Standard 4.1.1.B.6
Select pencil-and-paper, mental math, or a calculator as the appropriate computational method in a given situation depending on the context and numbers.
Standard 4.1.1.B.7
Check the reasonableness of results of computations.
Standard 4.1.1.B.8
Understand and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction.
Standard 4.1.1.C 
Estimation
Standard 4.1.1.C.1
Judge without counting whether a set of objects has less than, more than, or the same number of objects as a reference set.
Standard 4.1.1.C.2
Determine the reasonableness of an answer by estimating the result of computations (e.g., 15 + 16 is not 211).
Standard 4.1.1.C.3
Explore a variety of strategies for estimating both quantities (e.g., the number of marbles in a jar) and results of computation.
