Think Academy 2025 Fall Grade 2 Math Course Introduction

Think Academy’s Grade 2 Math Course is designed to deepen core math skills while sparking curiosity, confidence, and higher-level problem-solving abilities. Our year-long program develops seven essential future-ready skills that prepare students for advanced learning, math competitions, and long-term STEM success.
We help Grade 2 learners overcome common challenges that can hold them back:
- Not enough practice to build speed, accuracy, and lasting mastery in core skills like multi-digit multiplication and division with remainders.
- Basic math knowledge without opportunities to extend into logical reasoning and critical thinking.
- Gaps in early geometry understanding, spatial reasoning, and 3D visualization skills.
