Our Homeschool Grade 2 Math Curriculum

Here is our Homeschool Grade 2 Math Curriculum. We based our curriculum from the IXL Primary Math 2 list of math skills. These are based on Primary 2 Singapore Math Curriculum.

IXL is an online learning website that provide test practices for K-12 levels. You can read our review of the IXL Online Math Learning website here.

Our homeschool math curriculum is not an official math curriculum of DepEd. But most of the topics covered are those required by DepEd and we added a few more depending on Gab’s interest and capability.

This homeschool Grade 2 math curriculum is intended as a guide. You can follow the list of topics one by one or just pick the ones that will be applicable to your child. We also included some FREE resources whenever applicable.

Enjoy and have fun learning.

Make paper models of 3D Shapes.

Measurement
  • Compare size, mass and capacity
  • Read a thermometer
  • Measure using a ruler
  • Compare and convert metric units of volume
