The Ultimate Math Workbook - Grade 2

The IXL Ultimate 2nd Grade Math Workbook is fantastic for kids ages 7-8! It covers all the important topics like addition, subtraction, place value, geometry, and measuring — basically everything my child needed to practice this year. The exercises are clear and well-organized, making it easy for my kid to follow along and build confidence step by step. It’s challenging enough to keep them engaged but not so hard that they get frustrated. Perfect for both classroom support and homeschooling!

great math practice book for a 2nd grader ! love it

I’m a special education resource teacher, and I originally purchased one of these books to give my students extra support accessing their grade-level math curriculum. I was so impressed with the layout, clarity, and the way the concepts are broken down that I ended up buying one for every grade I teach! The activities align beautifully with what my students are working on in class and give them the scaffolding they need to feel successful. These books have quickly become a staple in my small-group instruction. Highly recommend for any educator looking to bridge gaps and build confidence!

This book is helping my granddaughter build confidence in her math skills. The lessons are easy for her to understand. It has great graphics and keeps us moving along.

I dropped a star for the lack of a table of contents, or any way to locate the different skill lessons. But other than that, everything is great! I love that it starts off with simple arithmetic, introducing place value and comparison skills with incrementally increasing difficulty. It's perfect for my child, whom desperately needed the extra practice and review of earlier concepts. My child was falling behind at public school because she had no opportunity to practice where she needed help before the class would move on to the next lesson. I had to pull her out completely just to get time to study at home, because the school assigned way too much homework on unnecessary topics which left no time to study anything else before bed each day. I tested her at home after pulling her out, and she was practically still at the beginning of the grade standards! How can she be expected to improve on previous material when she still didn't understand that material that needed to be built upon? That's where this book came in. And it did a great job! It starts from the beginning, (see image of 1st page consisting of adding items to ten) and gradually increases in difficulty (see addition and subtraction of of 3-digit numbers and combining the skill with others [such as greater and less than] to produce a unique problem). Once we reached the Data Analysis section, I realized that I needed to jump around to get practice of each section thereafter a little each day to keep the skills fresh. Therefore I needed a way to know where each new skill started. As you can see in the image, I applied stickynotes to assist in locating specific skills. If the book came with a way to do this by simply applying different colors or indentations or SOMETHING, (and a basic table of contents) it would have been perfect. As it is now, it's still pretty great! Definitely recommend! .... As a side note, after less than just a couple months of practice with this book, my child is now at the level she should be for exiting second grade. All we really needed was the time for her to actually learn each fundamental concept, and great examples to learn from, before continuing on to more advanced practice. And this book provided that in a way that was easy for her to understand and develop. I especially appreciated the tips and tricks provided for some basic skills. For instance, noticing doubles, or simplifying problems by creating a 10, as shown in the images. There are also fun puzzles throughout to keep it interesting, and my child is even excited every time we get to a word problem page! Those used to cause her great difficulty.

I’m homeschooling and my 6 year old daughter is very advanced in math and is already doing multiplication and division, but I want to make sure she’s absolutely solid in the 2nd grade addition/subtraction and money, etc before moving on to 3rd grade math even though she is doing some of that already. This is the most robust math book I’ve come across for the price and I highly recommend it for homeschooling parents. The format is fun and engaging, it has a combination of math puzzles, drills, word problems and more broken down into very easy lessons. We jump around to keep things fun and interesting for her, so I let her choose the topic she wants to cover in it for the day. I make it fun by having her beat the timer for the drill pages and she loves it. Highly recommend!

Great bath book so far. Zero complaints. Works great for my 2nd grader.

This book is great. We got the spiral bound one and love it. Our daughter isn’t super happy about it but she is getting better at math.
