What 2nd Grade math looks like, solved step by step

Real 2nd Grade problems, one per topic, from addition to telling time โ€” the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

Addition

69 + 28 = ?

  1. Break apart both numbers by place value.
  2. 69 = 60 + 9
  3. 28 = 20 + 8
  4. Add the tens: 60 + 20 = 80
  5. Add the ones: 9 + 8 = 17
  6. 17 ones = 1 ten and 7 ones (regrouping)
  7. Combine: 80 + 17 = 97

Answer: 97

Geometry

What part of the circle is shaded: a half, a third, or a fourth?

  1. Count the equal parts: the circle is cut into 4 equal parts.
  2. 4 equal parts make the whole, so each part is a fourth โ€” 4 fourths make 1 whole.
  3. 1 part is shaded, so a fourth of the circle is shaded.

Answer: fourth

Telling Time

What time is shown on the clock?

  1. The short hour hand is between the 5 and the 6. It has passed the 5 but not the 6 yet, so the hour is still 5.
  2. The long minute hand points to the 6, halfway around the clock: count by 5s โ€” 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 โ€” so it is 30 minutes (half past).
  3. Hour 5 and 30 minutes: the time is 5:30.

Answer: 5:30
