Math In second grade, we use the Math in Focus program, sometimes known as Singapore Math. This program is designed to help students build a solid understanding of math concepts through the use of manipulative materials and visual models. Instruction begins with the concrete, moving to pictorial representations, and finally to the abstract. We have several important end of the year District assessments to complete this month, so we are busy reviewing the concepts and skills we have learned throughout the school year. Please be sure you child completes their daily Math homework which will reinforce the material we are reviewing in class each day.
