About this class
About Primary Two mathematics
In Grade 2, learners following CAPS extend place value towards 1,000, add and subtract two-digit numbers, learn the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, find simple fractions and measure with standard units. It is part of the Foundation Phase (Grades R–3). Boldungu breaks each topic into short sets of interactive questions so children can practise one skill at a time and come back to anything that needs more work.
