Grade 2 builds fluency — numbers get friendlier, sentences get longer, and independent work starts to stick. Here is the year as BC schools actually teach it — unit by unit, in order — so you can see what your child is working on right now, and what's coming next.
British Columbia math runs as a sequence: each unit builds on the one before it. The week ranges below follow the school year from September; teachers vary pacing.
Number concepts to 100, skip-counting by 2, 5, and 10 from different starting points, comparing and ordering, benchmarks of 25/50/100, place value of 10s and 1s, and even and odd numbers.
Building fluency with addition and subtraction facts to 20 using strategies such as making or bridging 10, decomposing, and related doubles.
Worth watching: if adding still means counting every object one by one, a few minutes of practice a day builds the number facts everything else leans on.
Adding and subtracting to 100 by decomposing into 10s and 1s, using friendly numbers, compensating, estimating sums and differences, and open number lines.
Worth watching: if adding still means counting every object one by one, a few minutes of practice a day builds the number facts everything else leans on.
Repeating and increasing patterns (to 100), describing change in quantity with pictures and symbols, and symbolic representation of equality and inequality.
Sorting by two attributes and describing, comparing, and constructing 2D shapes including triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles within 3D objects.
Direct linear measurement in centimetres and metres, estimating and recording length, pictorial graphs with one-to-one correspondence, and likelihood of events.
Counting simple mixed combinations of coins to 100 cents and introducing the concepts of spending and saving.
How much money is 3 dimes and 1 nickel?
Metamorphic and non-metamorphic life cycles of different organisms and the similarities and differences between offspring and their parents.
Physical ways of changing materials such as warming, cooling, cutting, bending, and mixing, and chemical ways such as cooking and burning.
Types of forces, including contact and at-a-distance forces such as magnets and static electricity, and balanced and unbalanced forces acting on objects.
Water sources including local watersheds, the need for water conservation, and the stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
Put these in the right order: butterfly, egg, chrysalis, caterpillar.
Diverse characteristics of communities and cultures in Canada and around the world, including at least one Canadian First Peoples community — daily life, language, traditions, arts, and food.
How people's needs and wants are met in different communities, including how goods and services are acquired and how needs differ with climate and the size of a community.
The relationships between people and the environment in different communities and the diverse environmental features of other parts of Canada and the world — climate zones, landforms, bodies of water, plants, and animals — describing any map fully in words.
The rights and responsibilities of individuals regionally and globally, including responsibility to the environment, human rights, and connections between communities throughout Canada and around the world.
The roles and responsibilities of regional governments, including community leaders such as mayors and councillors and services such as transportation, policing, and firefighting.
Unlike math and science, the language curriculum isn't taught as a sequence of units — it's a set of skills that deepen all year: reading comprehension and inference, writing structure and conventions, vocabulary, and oral communication. French works the same way. Homework Hub practises these as grade-matched weekly skills — a reading passage with real comprehension questions, a sentence to fix, a short prompt to write to — rather than pretending there's a unit list.
Homework Hub generates fresh questions matched to these very units — in season, at your child's level, marked with hints that teach. You set the days; it does the rest.

School boards and teachers vary pacing — week ranges are a typical rhythm, not a rule.
