Q2 2nd Grade Parent Letter Template

Dear 2

Grade Families,

We would like to provide you with additional support and resources to help your child at

home with math during 2

quarter. As you know, we have transitioned to the Common

Core Math Standards. We hope this letter is helpful in supporting your child in math at

home. Please don‟t hesitate to contact your child‟s teacher with questions.

What are the “Common Core Standards?”

They are standards designed to create clear, consistent expectations for what all students

should learn at each grade level to prepare them for college and career. These standards

help ensure that all students are receiving a high quality education consistently, from school

to school and state to state. These MATH standards stress conceptual understanding. This

„new‟ way of teaching and learning builds a strong foundation for our students.

Resources

*Google/YouTube – search the standard number (ex. 2.NBT.1) in Google or YouTube to locate

videos, examples, worksheets, etc.

*Websites:



*Help your child memorize basic facts (addition and subtraction)0

*Discuss/explain and “do” real life math

*Talk with your child and their teacher about his/her performance in math at school
