Class 2 Maths - WEST-BENGAL
Which Season is it?
The chapter 'Which Season is it?' in the Class 2 Mathematics curriculum for the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) introduces young learners to the concept of time and calendar months through the changing seasons. Students learn to connect specific months of the year with the six traditional Bengali seasons—Grishma (Summer), Barsha (Monsoon), Sarat (Autumn), Hemanta (Late Autumn), Shiter (Winter), and Basanta (Spring). This chapter is important for building foundational observational skills and understanding the passage of time, laying the groundwork for calendar-based math problems in future board exams.
