1. Understanding of the base-ten system within 1000. This includes place value with three-digit numbers, skip-
counting in fives, tens, and multiples of hundreds, tens, and ones (within 1000).
(chapters 6 and 8);
2. Develop fluency with addition and subtraction within 100, including solving word problems, regrouping in
addition, and regrouping in subtraction (chapters 1, 3, 4, and 8);
Additional topics we study are time (chapter 2), money (chapter 9), introduction to multiplication (chapter 10), and
bar graphs and picture graphs (in various chapters).
This book, 2-B, covers three-digit numbers (chapter 6), measuring (chapter 7), regrouping in addition and
subtraction (chapter 8), counting coins (chapter 9), and an introduction to multiplication (chapter 10). The rest of
the topics are covered in the 2-A student worktext.
When you use these two books as your only or main mathematics curriculum, they are like a “framework,” but you
still have a lot of liberty in planning your child's studies. While addition and subtraction topics are best studied in
the order they are presented, feel free to go through the geometry, clock, and money sections in a different order.
For the chapter on measuring, the child should be familiar with three-digit numbers.
This might even be advisable if your child is “stuck” on some concept, or is getting bored. Sometimes the brain
“mulls it over” in the background, and the concept he/she was stuck on can become clear after a break.
Math Mammoth aims to concentrate on a few major topics at a time, and study them in depth. This is totally
opposite to the continually spiraling step-by-step curricula, in which each lesson typically is about a different topic
from the previous or next lesson, and includes a lot of review problems from past topics.
This does not mean that your child wouldn't need occasional review. However, when each major topic is presented
in its own chapter, this gives you more freedom to plan the course of study and choose the review times yourself. In
fact, I totally encourage you to plan your mathematics school year as a set of certain topics, instead of a certain
book or certain pages from a book.
For review, the download version includes an html page called Make_extra_worksheets_grade2.htm that you can
use to make additional worksheets for computation or for number charts. You can also simply reprint some already
studied pages. Also, chapter 3, which practices addition and subtraction facts within 18, contains a lot of pages with
problems, so you can choose to “save” some of them for later review.
The first lesson presents three-digit numbers with hundred-flats, ten-pillars, and one-cubes. Next, we
study three-digit numbers on a number line. In the lesson Forming Numbers—and Breaking Them Apart
the child practices separating three-digit numbers into the different “parts”: hundreds, tens, and ones.
These first three lessons provide the basis for understanding three-digit numbers and place value.
Next, we study Skip-Counting by Tens, and soon also by twos and fives. Then we compare and order
three-digit numbers.
After this, the lessons change to mental math. First, we study Adding and Subtracting Whole Hundreds
mentally. Students practice completing the next hundred (problems such as 260 + ____ = 300). Then it is
time to add and subtract whole tens mentally. Along the way, students also solve word problems and other
types of problems.
The chapter ends with some bar graphs and pictographs, which provide a nice application for now learned
three-digit numbers.

If you have the downloadable version of this book (PDF file), you need to print this file as 100%, not
“shrink to fit,” “print to fit,” or similar. If you print “shrink to fit,” some exercises about measuring in
inches and centimeters will not come out right, but will be “shrunk” compared to reality.
The lessons on measuring weight have several activities to do at home using a bathroom scales. The goal
is to let students become familiar with pounds and kilograms, and have an idea of how many pounds or
kilograms some common things weigh.
When it comes to measuring, experience is the best teacher. So, encourage your child to use measuring
devices (such as a measuring tape, ruler, and scales), and to “play” with them. In this way, the various
measuring units start to become a normal part of his/her life, and will never be forgotten.
The concrete activities we do in second grade are laying an important foundation for familiarizing the
students with measuring units. In third grade, the study of measuring turns toward conversions between
the different units. We will study volume in later grades.

(This page intentionally left blank.)
In the first lesson, the student adds three-digit numbers, regrouping in tens, but there is no regrouping in
hundreds. Students already know how to regroup two-digit numbers, so this lesson only extends that
knowledge to numbers that have three digits.
In the next lesson students regroup ten tens as a hundred (or carry to the hundreds). This is first illustrated
with visual models. You can do the exercises that include visual models with manipulatives instead (base
ten blocks), if you prefer.
Then we study regrouping twice: 10 ones form a new ten, and then 10 tens form a new hundred. Again,
students work first with visual models, with the aim of helping them to understand the concept itself.
Then, they do the process with numbers only, adding in columns.
Next, we study regrouping in subtraction, starting with two-digit numbers. First, students are taught to
break 1 ten into 10 ones. For example, 5 tens 4 ones is written as 4 tens 14 ones—one ten gets “broken
down” into 10 ones. This is the process of regrouping: one of the tens “changes groups” from being with
the tens to being with the ones.
After students have mastered that, then it is time to use regrouping in subtraction problems and learn the
traditional way of subtracting in columns (the numbers are written under each other).
Then we study word problems with more and fewer, and also several techniques or “tricks” for mental
subtraction. The word problems in the chapter require both addition and subtraction. I do not like putting
only subtraction word problems to a lesson that is about subtraction. Students need to practice recognizing
whether a problem requires addition or subtraction, thus each set of word problems typically includes both
kinds.
After this, it is time to study regrouping in subtraction with three-digit numbers. There are three cases:
In 2nd grade, we ONLY study cases (1) and (2) from the list above. The other two will be studied in third
grade. Again, students first practice the regrouping process with visual models. You could use base-ten
blocks instead.
In the end of the chapter, students encounter bar graphs again. They also play Euclid's game, which is
meant as a fun, supplemental lesson. You may omit it if time does not allow.

The lessons here are self-explanatory. The student first learns the meaning of
multiplication as “many times the same size group”. Then we practice writing
multiplication as repeated addition and vice versa. Number line jumps are another way to
illustrate multiplication.
The actual study and memorization of the multiplication tables is in the third grade.
However, you can certainly help your child to notice the patterns in the easy tables of 2, 5,
and 10, and encourage their memorization.
If the time allows and the child is receptive, you can study multiplication tables even
further at this time.
