Rod and Staff Math - Grade 2

Math Grade 2:

Working Arithmetic

Pupil Workbooks

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. Speed drills are included in the workbooks.

Practice Sheets

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.

Supplemental Pack

A reproducible, supplemental pack for the course contains patterns, individual student flash cards, graphs, and "My 1,000 Book."

Teacher's Manual

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.

Blossom and Bee Poster Set

(Blossoms 11-14, Blossoms 15-18, Bees)

For your convenience, a set of three laminated, full-color posters is available that eliminates the need to make your own blossom charts for this course. (Patterns are included in the Teacher's Manual if you want to make your own.) The three 19" x 25" posters are not sold separately.

The blossom charts are used to drill the number combinations ofthe basic addition and subtraction facts, and for drilling the triplets. To use the posters, you cut them apart and rearrange the parts as different facts are studied.
