2.OA.A.1 Use addition and subtraction within
100 to solve one- and two-step word problems
involving situations of adding to, taking from,
putting together, taking apart, and comparing, X X X X X
with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using
drawings and equations with a symbol for the
unknown number to represent the problem.
2.OA.B.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20
using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, X
know from memory all sums of two one-digit
numbers.
2.OA.C.3 Determine whether a group of objects
(up to 20) has an odd or even number of
members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting X
them by 2s; write an equation to express an
even number as a sum of two equal addends.
2.OA.C.4 Use addition to find the total number of
objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to In Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of Beast Academy Level 3.

2.NBT.A.1 Understand that the three digits of a
three-digit number represent amounts of X X
hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7
hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones.
2.NBT.A.2 Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, X X X
10s, and 100s.

using base-ten numerals, number names, and X
expanded form.
2.NBT.A.4 Compare two three-digit numbers
based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and X
ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record
the results of comparisons.
2.NBT.B.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100
using strategies based on place value, X X X X X
properties of operations, and/or the relationship
between addition and subtraction.
2.NBT.B.6 Add up to four two-digit numbers
using strategies based on place value and X X
properties of operations.
2.NBT.B.7 Add and subtract within 1000, using
concrete models or drawings and strategies
based on place value, properties of operations,
and/or the relationship between addition and
subtraction; relate the strategy to a written
method. Understand that in adding or X X X X X X
subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or
subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and
tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is
necessary to compose or decompose tens or
hundreds.
2.NBT.B.8 Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given
number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or X
100 from a given number 100-900.
2.NBT.B.9 Explain why addition and subtraction
strategies work, using place value and the X X
properties of operations.
Measurement & Data 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2.MD.A.1 Measure the length of an object by
selecting and using appropriate tools such as X
rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring
tapes.
2.MD.A.2 Measure the length of an object twice,
using length units of different lengths for the
two measurements; describe how the two X
measurements relate to the size of the unit
chosen.
2.MD.A.3 Estimate lengths using units of inches, X
feet, centimeters, and meters.

2.MD.A.4 Measure to determine how much
longer one object is than another, expressing the X
length difference in terms of a standard length
unit.
2.MD.B.5 Use addition and subtraction within
100 to solve word problems involving lengths
that are given in the same units, e.g., by using X
drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and
equations with a symbol for the unknown
number to represent the problem.
2.MD.B.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths
from 0 on a number line diagram with equally
spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, X
