What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 2, addition expands to two-digit and three-digit numbers. Students learn the concept of regrouping (carrying) when the sum in any column exceeds 9. They practise adding with and without regrouping, using place-value understanding to explain why the procedure works.
Grade 2 students also develop mental math strategies for adding multiples of 10 and near-multiples, and they continue solving two-step addition word problems. By year's end, students should confidently add numbers up to 100 and begin working with numbers to 1,000. Estimation is introduced as a way to check reasonableness of answers.
Skills Covered
- Adding two-digit numbers with and without regrouping
- Adding multiples of 10 mentally
- Estimating sums to check reasonableness
- Solving two-step addition word problems
- Using place-value charts and base-ten blocks
- Adding three or more addends
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): adding and subtracting whole numbers to 100, developing understanding of place value to support regrouping.
Parent Tip: Have your child estimate before solving — 'About how many do you think?' This builds number sense alongside computational skill.
What your child will practice
- Addition Facts to 20Recall and demonstrate addition facts for numbers up to 20, and related subtraction facts.
- Two-Digit AdditionAdd and subtract two-digit numbers that add up to no more than 100, using a variety of mental math strategies.

How many addition problems should my child practice each day?
10-15 problems per day is ideal. Short, consistent daily sessions build addition fluency faster than long, infrequent practice. Focus on accuracy first, then speed.
What addition strategies should my child learn?
Key strategies include counting on, making ten, doubles and near-doubles, and breaking numbers apart (decomposition). Start with manipulatives, then move to mental math.
When should my child have addition facts memorized?
Most curricula expect basic addition fact fluency (sums to 18) by the end of Grade 2. Grade 3-4 students should handle multi-digit addition with regrouping confidently.
