180 Days: Mathematics for Second Grade

Great quick assessment for age group

Holy moly- I love this! We switched to a standards-based report card and sometimes it's hard to show clear evidence to parents. How to use: Every sheet is broken into 8 problems. Each of the 8 problems correlate to a different skill. Such as addition, subtraction, geometry, word problems, graphs, skip counting, etc. I also give my students the item analysis sheet (comes on the DVD). They are responsible for filling out their sheet with their correct and incorrect answers. Since you have an analysis that is correlated to a skill, you can quickly skim a child's paper to see in which area they are missing a skill. It holds my students responsible and communicates clearly to the parents. The only draw back is that I bought this for my gifted students after seeing it featured in MindWare. I'm guessing I could have started later in the book but the first 20 or so pages are SUPER easy. However, you are supposed to start it day 1 of school. If you are teaching struggling math students, I'm sure this wouldn't be a problem.

I love the 180 days workbooks. I noticed that last year my second grader had some worksheets from this exact workbook for homework at the end of the school year. So, I bought the first and second grade math workbooks for my boys to work on during summer break. I tear pages out and give out stapled worksheets to my boys to work on. My 6 year old is doing the second grade one. He loves it. My 8 year old is also doing the 2nd grade one as a refresher. I feel I cannot move on to the 3rd grade for him because they changed how math is taught. I love the books and I know teachers use it so I will continue using 180 days for my boys. Not boring. Challenging. A little expensive but worth it I suppose. It's a thick book. Also, answer key at the end of the book.

Good for summer but I wouldn't use it as my main math curriculum

Love this resource and the ELA book too! Great practice and review!

I homeschool my children and recently heard about these 180 days of books which i just had to get my hands on. Being a stay at home mom/ teacher / influencer / and more, makes it difficult at times to shuffle everything , and not get things disorganised...well i beleive this is the solution...easy peasey lemon squeezy! 1 lesson out of each book daily. Easy curriculum to plan, easy on the kids, and really there is just no way to get confused with this curriculum. If there are dr appointments 1 day, just do 2 the following day and there is no way to get behind or confused. This also comes with a CD to help.. All around , this curriculum is just amazing , and i recommend this for all homeschool moms , dads, grandparents etc. Also this is great for tutoring or at home/ after school activities. This is very easy for your children to learn and helps you as well. I highly recommend !

I have all the books from K through 3rd grade and use them at the beginning of each week for my high school students who are in the Life Skills program. It helps me track and diagnose individuals and small groups. I discovered immediately that, although my students could compute using calculators, they missed all the number sense questions - there are eight problems per day and each problem targets a particular skill such as number sense, measurement, interpreting graphs or word problems. That has been an immense help in developing intervention strategies. What good is it to know that 3+4=7 if you don't really grasp what seven means? Since I started using this set of books, math class has gotten much more structured, focused and fun. We do 5 pages at the beginning of the week, I enter the data for both individuals and groups, see the trends and spend the rest of the week working on the necessary skills with games, task boxes and small group activities.

I ordered this book, so excited to teach my students. I love giving them the best. And I was very disappointed to see that despite me ordering a new unused book it was torn and scuffed up

Simply brilliant
