The Grade 2 (Year 2) maths curriculum

In Grade 2 (Year 2), numbers go up to 1,000. Children do column additions and subtractions with several digits, discover multiplication and their first times tables (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10), and start sharing, which prepares division. Measurement: length, mass and time; geometry: right angles, symmetry, 2D and 3D shapes.
