Common math challenges and misconceptions for 2nd graders

Place value misunderstandings: Students may think “207” means 2 and 7 not 200 + 7.

Comparing numbers incorrectly: Children may say 38 is bigger than 54 because they only look at the digits 8 and 5 and not the value of each digit.

Subtraction fact struggles: Due to lack of practice children may still use their fingers to solve facts like 15 – 7 and lose accuracy.

Fraction confusion: A 2nd grader may think 1/4 is bigger than 1/2 because 4 is bigger than 2.

Skip counting challenges: 2nd graders may hesitate or incorrectly sequence when counting by tens like “10, 20, 40, 50” and skip numbers unintentionally.

Word problem difficulty: 2nd graders may choose the wrong operation for problems like “Sarah had 12 apples, gave away 5. How many does she have now?”
