Math Expectations for Measurement - Length 
Grade 2
Students need to choose and use non-standard units appropriately to measure lengths, and describe the inverse relationship between the size of a unit and the number of units needed; explain the relationship between centimetres and metres as units of length, and use benchmarks for these units to estimate lengths; measure and draw lengths in centimetres and metres, using a measuring tool, and recognize the impact of starting at points other than zero

Grade 3
Students need to use appropriate units of length to estimate, measure, and compare the perimeters of polygons and curved shapes, and construct polygons with a given perimeter; explain the relationships between millimetres, centimetres, metres, and kilometres as metric units of length, and use benchmarks for these units to estimate lengths; use non-standard units appropriately to estimate, measure, and compare capacity, and explain the effect that overfilling or underfilling, and gaps between units, have on accuracy; compare, estimate, and measure the mass of various objects, using a pan balance and non-standard units; use various units of different sizes to measure the same attribute of a given item, and demonstrate that even though using different-sized units produces a different count, the size of the attribute remains the same


Math Expectation for 2D and 3D Shapes
Grade 2
Students need to sort and identify two-dimensional shapes by comparing number of sides, side lengths, angles, and number of lines of symmetry; compose and decompose two-dimensional shapes, and show that the area of a shape remains constant regardless of how its parts are rearranged; identify congruent lengths and angles in two-dimensional shapes by mentally and physically matching them, and determine if the shapes are congruent

Grade 3 
Students need to sort, construct, and identify cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones by comparing their faces, edges, vertices, and angles; compose and decompose various structures, and identify the two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects that these structures contain; identify congruent lengths, angles, and faces of three-dimensional objects by mentally and physically matching them, and determine if the objects are congruent 

Math Expectations for Number Sense - Addition and Subtraction
Grade 2
Students are expected to use the properties of addition and subtraction, and the relationships between addition and multiplication and between subtraction and division, to solve problems and check  calculations; recall and demonstrate addition facts for numbers up to 20, and related subtraction facts; use mental math strategies, including estimation, to add and subtract whole numbers that add up to no more than 50, and explain the strategies used; use objects, diagrams, and equations to represent, describe, and solve situations involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers that add up to no more than 100

Grade 3 
Students are expected to use mental math strategies, including estimation, to add and subtract whole numbers that add up to no more than 1000, and explain the strategies used; demonstrate an understanding of algorithms for adding and subtracting whole numbers by making connections to and describing the way other tools and strategies are used to add and subtract; represent and solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of whole numbers that add up to no more than 1000, using various tools and algorithms
