Academic standards list
Second Grade — Mathematics
Introduction
Academic standards define the expectations for knowledge and skills that students are to learn in a subject by a certain age or at the end of a school grade level. This page contains a list of standards for a specific content area, grade level, and/or course. The list of standards may be structured using categories and sub-categories.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
TSS.Math.2.OA

Add and subtract within 30.
Fluently add and subtract within 30 using mental strategies. By the end of 2nd grade, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers and related…
Work with equal groups of objects to gain foundations for multiplication.
Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members by pairing objects or counting them by 2s. Write an equation to express… ♦
Use repeated addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express… ♦
Number and Operations in Base Ten
TSS.Math.2.NBT
Understand place value.
Know that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones (e.g., 706 can be represented in multiple ways as 7…
Count within 1000. Skip-count within 1000 by 5s, 10s, and 100s, starting from any number in its skip counting sequence.
Compare two three-digit numbers based on the meanings of the digits in each place and use the symbols >, =, and < to show the relationship.
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.
Fluently add and subtract within 100 using properties of operations, strategies based on place value, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Add up to four two-digit numbers using properties of operations and strategies based on place value.
Add and subtract within 1000 using concrete models, drawings, strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between…
Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900.
Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work using properties of operations and place value. (Explanations may include words, drawing, or objects.)
Measurement and Data
TSS.Math.2.MD
Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
Measure the length of an object using two different units of measure and describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.
Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another and express the difference in terms of a standard unit of length.
Relate addition and subtraction to length.
Add and subtract within 100 to solve contextual problems involving lengths that are given in the same units by using drawings and equations with a symbol…
Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line and know that the points corresponding to the numbers on the number line are equally spaced. Use…
Work with time and money.
Tell and write time in quarter hours and to the nearest five minutes (in a.m. and p.m.) using analog and digital clocks. ♦
Solve contextual problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies using cents and $ symbols appropriately. ♦
Represent and interpret data.
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects to the nearest whole unit. Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the… ♦
Draw a pictograph and a bar graph (with intervals of one) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve addition and subtraction problems… ♦
Geometry
TSS.Math.2.G
Reason about shapes and their attributes.
Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. Draw two-dimensional shapes having specified attributes (as determined directly or… ♦
Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-sized squares and find the total number of squares. ♦
Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, fourths, half of, a third of,… ♦
