Math Galaxy’s Second Grade Math covers all Common Core math standards for second grade as listed below. The concepts are presented in bite-size pieces with an unlimited supply of practice problems and numbers chosen randomly. Illustrations are used throughout to reinforce the concepts. There are review sections and you can be guided through problems step-by-step or just give the final answer. "The French mathematician Jacques S. Hadamard found, in a study of 100 leading mathematicians, that the majority of them were primarily visual in their approach. Some [including Einstein] went further back to sensations of a kinesthetic kind." Scientific American, Sept., 1984, p. 56. The secret to learning math is consistency. Ten minutes or ten problems a day, if done consistently, can yield significant results.
