What’s in the Class 2 Maths NCERT Book (2026-27 Edition)
A Day at the Beach introduces counting in groups; Fun with Numbers covers numbers 1 to 100; Decoration for Festival introduces addition and subtraction through festival preparation; Grouping and Sharing gives an early, informal introduction to multiplication and division; Fun at the Fair introduces money, and the book closes with Data Handling.
Study Tip
Grouping and Sharing is the child’s first real exposure to multiplication/division ideas, even without the formal terms — reinforce it with real objects at home (splitting sweets, arranging toys in rows) before Class 3 introduces it more formally.
