Class 2 Mathematics
This course builds a strong foundation in number sense and spatial reasoning through concrete experiences. Students transition from counting to understanding place value, basic operations, and the geometry of their everyday environment.
01The World of Numbers
Students explore two digit numbers, focusing on the concept of place value and the relative magnitude of numbers up to 100.
An introduction to the base ten system using grouping strategies and concrete manipulatives like beads and sticks.
Students use base-ten blocks to visually represent two-digit numbers, reinforcing the concept of place value.
Developing a sense of number magnitude by comparing quantities and placing them on a number line.
Students practice writing number names for two-digit numbers and converting number names back to numerals.
Identifying numerical patterns in the hundred chart to build mental math agility.
Students practice skip counting from various starting points and identify the patterns created.
Understanding and using ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc.) to describe position and order.
Students identify numbers immediately preceding, succeeding, or falling between given numbers.
02Adding and Subtracting Stories
Moving beyond rote calculation to understand addition and subtraction as combining, separating, and comparing sets.
Using real life scenarios to model addition and subtraction and understanding their inverse relationship.
Students practice basic addition facts up to 20 using various strategies like counting on and number bonds.
Students practice basic subtraction facts up to 20 using strategies like counting back and relating to addition.
Developing flexible strategies like doubling, near doubles, and making tens for faster calculation.
A conceptual introduction to carrying by exchanging ten ones for one ten using manipulatives.
A conceptual introduction to borrowing by exchanging one ten for ten ones using manipulatives.
Students analyze simple word problems and identify keywords to determine when to use addition.
Students analyze simple word problems and identify keywords to determine when to use subtraction.
03Shapes and Space
Exploring the properties of 2D and 3D shapes and understanding spatial orientation in the physical world.
Distinguishing between two dimensional shapes and three dimensional objects through tactile exploration.
Identifying and describing properties of common 2D shapes like sides, corners, and straight/curved edges.
Identifying and describing properties of common 3D shapes like faces, edges, and vertices.
Identifying straight, curved, horizontal, and vertical lines in the environment and in drawings.
Understanding how objects look from different perspectives like top, side, and front views.
Identifying lines of symmetry in simple 2D shapes and creating symmetrical designs.
Exploring how shapes fit together without gaps or overlaps to create patterns.
Students practice drawing common 2D shapes accurately using rulers and freehand.
04Measuring My World
Using non standard and standard units to quantify length, weight, and capacity.
Comparing lengths using body parts and moving toward the need for uniform measuring tools.
Introducing the concept of standard units (centimeters, meters) and using rulers to measure objects.
Using a simple balance scale to compare the heaviness of different objects.
Introducing the concept of grams and kilograms and using simple scales to measure and compare weights.
Exploring how much liquid a container can hold through pouring and filling activities.
Introducing the concept of liters and milliliters and using measuring jugs to quantify liquid capacity.
05Time and Money
Understanding the passage of time through calendars and clocks, and the value of currency in daily transactions.
Sequencing events using days of the week and understanding daily routines.
Learning the names of the months, their order, and associating them with seasons and special events.
Reading the clock face to the hour and understanding daily routines.
Reading the clock face to the half hour and understanding the concept of 'half past'.
Identifying different Indian currency coins and understanding their values.
Identifying different Indian currency notes and understanding their values.
Practicing simple shopping exchanges, calculating total cost, and giving/receiving change.
Students practice calculating and giving back change in simple transactions.
06Data and Patterns
Collecting information, organizing it visually, and identifying repeating structures in numbers and nature.
Gathering data from classmates and recording it using tally marks or simple lists.
Students learn to organize collected data into simple tables with categories and counts.
Representing data through pictographs to easily compare different categories.
Students analyze existing pictographs to answer questions and draw conclusions about the data.
Identifying, extending, and creating patterns using shapes, colors, and sounds.
Students design their own repeating patterns and extend given patterns using various elements.
Exploring patterns in number sequences that involve simple addition or subtraction rules.
A simple introduction to bar graphs using concrete objects to represent data categories.
