What is this book?

Class 2 is the year of carrying and borrowing, times tables and the first fractions. Math Understood 2 puts these into seven units and, as in all Essential Series books, prints the student learning outcomes on the contents page.

Examples of outcomes: write ordinal numbers from first to twentieth, read numbers up to 999, add 2-digit and 3-digit numbers with carrying, subtract 3-digit numbers with borrowing, recognise multiplication as repeated addition, develop multiplication tables of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 up to 10 × 10, recognise division as successive subtraction, identify half, one-third and a quarter, use standard metric units of length (metre, centimetre), mass (kilogram, gram) and capacity (litre, millilitre), read time in five-minute intervals and use the solar and Islamic calendars.

The book is only about 100 pages, which makes the daily practice manageable.
