Students will be able to demonstrate how much they have learned and retained during the lessons presented for unit 1.
It is important to assess students periodically to plan for future lessons to meet student needs.
Students review for the Unit 2 test by completing stations.
What have students learned during this unit? What gaps do students have in their understanding? Students take the Unit 2 test.
Patterns are prevalent in all levels of math. Common Core Standards expect students to be able to use structure - like that found in repeating the patterns of odd and even numbers or counting by 5s or 10s - to solve problems (MP7).
Students have greater engagement in learning when it is organized around gathering and using meaningful data.
The ratio table is a tool that students can use to solve a variety of problems.
Students can solve multiplication and division problems quickly by recognizing the relationship between the two operations.
Children will learn the term variable and then work to "attack" a problem using what they know about the relationship between multiplication and division to solve for an unknown.
Understanding place value is critical to the Common Core Standards for second grade. Without a concrete understanding, students may not fully grasp the meaning of the digits.
SWBAT identify the name of the month, number of the day, and number of the year on a calendar. SWBAT explore math tools, and will demonstrate their ability to count 20 objects.
This lesson helps build a strong culture of problem solvers, and it can work as an introduction in 1st grade or as a Kindergarten lesson!
Do you know where a number would be? Can you use a number line as a tool to solve problems?
Why do we need an Order of Operations? What is 5 + 3 x 4? What is 3 x 4 + 5? Students work through examples to get at these questions and work with the order of operations to simplify numerical expressions.
Students will write ratios using a variety of formats.
We can apply math to almost every part of the day and make math have a purpose for students.
Students will BUZZ about the color yellow!
This video segment from Cyberchase introduces the idea of inverse operations as Bianca imagines herself as a spy.
In this video segment from Cyberchase, Inez and Lucky figure out how to keep track of the number of clones as they continue to multiply.
