In Grade 2, instructional time focuses on four critical areas:
(1) extending understanding of base-ten notation;
(2) building fluency with addition and subtraction;
(3) using standard units of measure; and
(4) describing and analyzing shapes.

In 2017, SPS began using Bridges in Mathematics, 2nd edition from The Math Learning Center, as our primary resource for elementary mathematics.
As shared on the MLC website, " The curriculum focuses on developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex and novel problems. Bridges blends direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration. It taps into the intelligence and strengths of all students by presenting material that is as linguistically, visually, and kinesthetically rich as it is mathematically powerful."
