This 3rd edition (2020) is not compatible with the 1992 edition. The basic concepts of this edition are much the same as the previous edition, but include improved Bible tone, a greater variety of pictures, and more drill. Read about changes in Rod and Staff's revised Grade 2 Math curriculum...
The 170 lessons in Grade 2 are bound in four workbooks. Unit 1 reviews addition and subtraction facts through 10, and other skills taught in Grade 1. Unit 2 teaches all the addition and subtraction factions for the 11s, 12s, and 13s, and carrying and borrowing as well. Unit 3 teaches the 14s and 15s, and Unit 4 teaches the 16s, 17s, and 18s. Continuous review is built into the lessons, and simple reading problems are practiced frequently. Speed drills are included in the workbooks. Money, time, and measures are reviewed; pounds and ounces are introduced, along with one-dollar bills. Calendars, graphs, and quarter-hour and five-minute time increments are taught.
A reproducible, supplemental pack for the course contains patterns, individual student flash cards (families 11-18), graphs, and "My 1,000 Book."
A total of 432 reproducible, tear-out sheets also provide extra practice for each student. These are separated into two books; quizzes for the whole course are contained in Book 1.
The teacher's manual comes in two hardcover volumes, Units 1 and 2 in Book 1, and Units 3 and 4 in Book 2. The manual is essential for class time instructions and for directions for workbooks, practice sheets, and supplemental items. A reduced copy of the pupil's lessons, speed drills, quizzes, and practice sheets are included with answers filled in.
Speed drills are included in the workbooks.
