What 2nd graders practice in these games

These are the Common Core State Standards for grade 2 that the games above practice, quoted from thecorestandards.org. Each one links to the games where students work on it.

How to use these games in class

๐Ÿš€ Starter (5 minutes)

Project Place Value and build 126 with blocks. Ask how many hundreds, tens and ones there are, then trade to show the same number another way.

๐Ÿงฉ Station (10โ€“15 minutes)

Pairs use Money on a tablet or Chromebook: one student picks a price and the other pays with exact coins.

๐Ÿ  Homework

Send the Time & Clock link home and ask your child to set the hands to the nearest five minutes for bedtime and for breakfast.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What math do 2nd graders learn?

Common Core names four focus areas for grade 2: extending understanding of base-ten notation, building fluency with addition and subtraction, using standard units of measure, and describing and analyzing shapes. Place Value, Add & Subtract, Measurement, Money and Shapes & Symmetry practice these.

Is multiplication taught in 2nd grade?

Not as facts. In Common Core, grade 2 students use addition to find the total in arrays with up to 5 rows and 5 columns (standard 2.OA.C.4), and multiplication facts start in grade 3. The array builder in Multiplication is a good preview for strong students.

Are these math games free, and do students need an account?

Yes, they are free. Students do not need an account, a download or an email address: open the link in a browser on a Chromebook, tablet, laptop or phone and play.

How do the levels, missions and stars work?

Most games have three levels, so a student can start easy and move up: a free play mode where nothing can go wrong, missions that award up to 3 stars, and a short timed challenge with no penalties.
