Second grade is where math begins, asking children not only to solve problems, but also to explain how they solved them. Primary Math 2022: Grade 2 builds on early number sense while introducing more strategies, larger numbers, and increasingly complex problem solving.
Originally developed for Singapore’s Ministry of Education, this program uses a structured approach that emphasizes understanding concepts before moving into abstract procedures.
The program follows a Concrete → Pictorial → Abstract (CPA) progression. Students continue using hands-on materials and visual models while gradually relying more heavily on mathematical reasoning and symbolic work. Grade 2 expands mathematical thinking through topics like:
- Numbers to 1,000
- Addition and subtraction with regrouping
- Early multiplication concepts
- Length, time, data, and shapes
- Bar model foundations for visual problem solving
Manipulatives remain useful at this stage. Timberdoodle focuses on the essentials—linking cubes, counters, and base ten blocks—so students can build understanding without overwhelming your shelves.
Other resources, like Additional Practice, provide opportunities for review, reinforcement, puzzles, and further problem-solving.
Primary Math 2022: Grade 2 emphasizes reasoning, visual thinking, and multiple solution strategies so students spend less time memorizing procedures and more time understanding why mathematical methods work.

As you know, several older versions of the very popular Singapore Math exist. The good news is that you can seamlessly switch from any other version to Primary Mathematics 2022. Primary Mathematics 2022 can be used with students of all abilities, but it is perfect for students who struggle with math. Its scope, pace, and review make it a much more manageable curriculum. Primary Mathematics 2022 covers math topics taught in U.S. public schools, so transitioning to any other U.S. curriculum should be straightforward.

Great Curriculum
Lauren S.
We have used this for only one year (1st grade) but we found the lessons to be well laid out, it was aesthetically appealing (cute little animals to assist with learning), and included STEAM activities to help re-enforce the lessons.

The BEST math curriculum
Rachelle
We LOVE this math curriculum. As a high school math teacher, this curriculum is amazing at setting up foundational skills that students will need in upper level mathematics. The curriculum focuses on questioning the students thinking. The depth of knowledge questions range from level 1 to level 4! We absolutely love this curriculum!

I taught using Singapore several years ago and loved the program and its approach. Once I found it on here I was so excited to get it for my son. It has been just as easy to use with him and he has learned so much with it. My only disappointment is that there are more varieties of Singapore available from the company itself and this is the only option to add here. I wish Timberdoodle would offer some of the other Singapore options.

Math!

First week, I did not love it primarily because it’s not an effortless open and go scenario. However, I do think it’s effective just parent intense.
