About the Mathematics in This Unit

Dear Family,

We are beginning our final unit in mathematics, called Enough for the Class? Enough for the Grade? In this unit, the fourth of four second grade units focused on addition and subtraction, students solve comparison story problems, develop fluency with subtraction within 100, and use representations to model and solve addition and subtraction problems about 3-digit numbers. They also achieve fluency with telling time to the nearest five minutes and should be fluent with the addition and subtraction facts they have been working on throughout the year.

Throughout this unit, students will be working toward these goals:

BENCHMARKS	EXAMPLES
