HADDON TOWNSHIP MATHEMATICS
GRADE TWO
The second grade mathematics curriculum provides developmentally appropriate mathematics
experiences that reflect New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Mathematics. As
second grade students experience mathematics through the Everyday Math program, they develop
skills in numeration and order, measures and measurement, geometry and spatial sense, and patterns,
functions, and sequences rules. They will also begin to explore data and chance, and
gain experience with concrete problems that arise in the daily life of children.
ESSENTIAL LEARNINGS: All second grade
mathematics students will demonstrate an
understanding of the following NJ Core Curriculum
