Second Grade Math with Confidence Instructor Guide
Instructor Guides begin with introductory information and a helpful “how to use” section which gives parents the tools to confidently teach math. Scripted lessons for the teacher and easy to implement activities that use household items, along with a few common math manipulatives, the Instructor Guide equips parents to be successful. From Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, there are four teaching days and one optional enrichment or review day, for a total of 32 weeks. Weekly lessons have the same format: Overview of the week, lesson notes, and materials list for activities. Each lesson includes interactive teaching time and independent workbook time. Second Grade takes 20-30 minutes for each lesson. Enrichment or review activities focus on games/activities or a suggested read aloud math book of the week.
This scripted, open-and-go Instructor Guide helps students master all essential second grade math concepts. The fun activities help students develop both strong number sense and a positive attitude towards math, preparing them for third grade.
Reviews Grade 1 concepts and teaches through reading, writing, and comparing numbers to 1000; adding and subtracting 2- and 3-digit numbers; solving addition and subtraction word problems; time, money, and length; reading graphs, 2D and 3D shapes, and simple fractions. Requires household or easily found items and the following manipulatives: base 10 blocks, 50 small counters, coins, play money, clock with hands, 1 ft (30 cm) ruler, 2 packages of playing cards, and six-sided dice (2). A manipulative kit is available for your convenience. Or check out the First to Second Grade Add-On Kit with the second-grade specific manipulatives for families who previously used the Grade 1 manipulatives.
While no placement test is available, the second grade Math with Confidence is designed for students who are 7 years or older, can count to 100 by 1s, 2s,5s and 10s; understand tens-place and ones-place in 2-digit numbers, write simple addition and subtraction equations and solve simple word problems with single-digit numbers, know most addition facts up to 9+9, know most subtraction facts up to 10; know the names and values of coins and identify combinations of a few coins. This is reviewed at the beginning of the Grade 2 text, but assumes the student is familiar with the information.

Gentle and fun while still developing strong number sense.
I was in between 2 different curriculums for 2nd grade, I chose this because I felt this was a better fit for my son who is a kinesthetic learner. It has games and I really like how the author has…
Great conceptual teaching, and super easy for the teacher!
I've used MWC 1st grade with two kids and Math Facts that Stick (all 4) with 2 kids and love all of them!
