Find an Engaging 2nd Grade Math Curriculum With Homeschool+
You want a 2nd grade math curriculum that grows with your child and keeps them engaged every step of the way. As they tackle bigger numbers and understand more advanced math concepts, you need a curriculum that keeps up and continues to challenge them.
As your child ages, their math curriculum needs to continue appealing to their senses and drawing them in with a fun approach to learning. How do you pick a curriculum that does all this? Find the answer below!
Ask These 4 Questions When Choosing a 2nd Grade Math Curriculum
Is it Adaptive?
If you can’t personalize a math program, then it’s best to keep looking. All kids learn differently and at various rates. You want a math curriculum that’s built with this in mind and lets you easily adapt lessons. The curriculum you choose should also accommodate multiple learners so you can quickly switch between students.
Does it Have Variety?
If a program isn’t interesting and doesn’t offer variety, your child will likely get bored at some point. You want to find a math curriculum with games, activities, and milestones that keep kids engaged and motivated.
Is it Fun?
At the end of the day, your math curriculum has to pass the fun test. Children are excellent judges of this and will let you know if they enjoy the curriculum. Make sure your young learner tests programs right along with you. They’ll appreciate being involved in choosing their homeschool curriculum.
Does it Work Well Online?
There are numerous math programs out there, but they’re not all built to work for online learning. This is another area where your child can be an excellent judge of what curriculum feels like a good fit. Chances are, you and your child will quickly sense which curriculum feels like a natural fit for online learning.
How to Keep Your Children Engaged in a 2nd Grade Math Curriculum
To reinforce the importance of math, try incorporating it into daily conversations. When you go to the library, store, or restaurant, point out all the ways you use math every day. This can reinforce their learning and help them grow an understanding of why math is essential.
