Math Mammoth Grade 2-A Worktext (International Version) is the student worktext for the first half of grade 2, and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 2 complete curriculum. This book, 2-A, covers some revision, even and odd numbers, doubling, reading the clock, addition and subtraction facts within 0 - 18, adding two-digit numbers, geometry and fractions. The rest of the topics for 2nd grade are covered in the student book 2-B.
Being a worktext, the book contains both the necessary instruction and the problems and exercises (the 'text' and the 'work'; thus a "worktext"), and is for the most part self-teaching.
