New York 2nd Grade Math Topics
StudyPug covers every topic in the New York 2nd grade math curriculum, aligned to the NYS Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards. Whether your child needs help with word problems, place value, or telling time, our video lessons make every concept clear and easy to follow.
Addition and Subtraction
2nd graders in New York work on adding and subtracting within 100 and 1000. Topics include solving one- and two-step word problems, fluently adding and subtracting within 20 using mental strategies, and adding up to four two-digit numbers. StudyPug breaks each skill into short, easy-to-follow video lessons.
Place Value and Number Sense
Students learn that three-digit numbers represent hundreds, tens, and ones. They practice skip-counting by 5s, 10s, and 100s within 1000, reading and writing numbers in expanded form, and comparing three-digit numbers using >, =, and < symbols. These foundational skills prepare students for 3rd grade math.
Measurement and Data
New York 2nd graders measure lengths using rulers, yardsticks, and meter sticks. They estimate lengths in inches, feet, centimeters, and meters, and use addition and subtraction to solve length word problems. Data topics include creating line plots, picture graphs, and bar graphs to represent and compare information.
Time and Money
Students tell and write time to the nearest five minutes using analog and digital clocks with a.m. and p.m. They also solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies using $ and ¢ symbols.
Geometry
2nd grade geometry covers recognizing and drawing shapes by their attributes — including triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. Students partition rectangles and circles into equal shares and describe them using words like halves, thirds, and fourths.
