Here is our Homeschool Grade 2 Math Curriculum. We based our curriculum from the IXL Primary Math 2 list of math skills. These are based on Primary 2 Singapore Math Curriculum.
IXL is an online learning website that provide test practices for K-12 levels. You can read our review of the IXL Online Math Learning website here.
Our homeschool math curriculum is not an official math curriculum of DepEd. But most of the topics covered are those required by DepEd and we added a few more depending on Gab’s interest and capability.
This homeschool Grade 2 math curriculum is intended as a guide. You can follow the list of topics one by one or just pick the ones that will be applicable to your child. We also included some FREE resources whenever applicable.
Enjoy and have fun learning.
TOPICS | SKILLS TO LEARN | TIPS |
Counting and number patterns |
|
We bought a poster at a bookstore showing all numbers from 1 to 100. It was very useful in showing the pattern in counting up to 100. |
Comparing and ordering |

|
Addition (No regrouping) |
|
The more digits involved, the more challenging it becomes. Thus, we try to limit answering just 5 or 10 questions in a day for 2-digit and 3-digit addition. |
Subtraction (No regrouping) |
|
Similar to addition, we limit 5 to 10 questions in a day ofr 2-digit and 3-digit subtraction. |
Place Values |

Regrouping can be a challenging concept to grasp. Counting blocks and counting beads are great tools in understanding place values. Read our tools for teaching Math.

Estimation and Rounding |

We watched Khan Academy video to learn about rounding numbers. |
Money |

Check out our Philippine Money Worksheets. Try using real money in the real world. We ask Gab to count the money before paying in the cashier and counting the change as well. |
Time |
|
Try to find a clock that has labels for the minutes as well. Regularly ask the child to read time with analogue clocks. |

Show real graphs used in the real world like weather reports and stock markets. Create your own graphs using real objects like toys, fruits, and clothes. |

Use real life examples to help visualize 3D shapes. Show a box for cubes or retangular prisms. Candy containers for cylinders or pyramids. Make paper models of 3D Shapes. |
