SWBAT explore the characteristics of cubes, pattern blocks, and geometry blocks. SWBAT count a set of objects up to 20 by 1's. SWBAT play the game "Greater Than" with a partner, using the correct vocabulary.
This site provides six practice activities to learn how to partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them.
This lesson builds a foundation for adding larger numbers which is supported by the Common Core standards for second grade.
SWBAT count to ten and identify numbers by counting object patterns.
Patterns are everywhere. We can use patterns to help us deal with larger numbers
Are there patterns in nature that can be described by numbers? That is what we will find out here.
This lesson focuses on the addition measurement of perimeter using real world examples.
Perimeter is all around us!
A farmer needs a fence to keep the bunny out of his lettuce patch, but does he understand perimiter enough to buy the right amount?
Students love to talk about pets and in this lesson they can share how many pets they have.
The students will be using discovery techniques to learn about stem and leaf plots.
Online drawing programs allow students to explore many possibilities with polygons!
Interacting with polygons and testing the definitions can be engaging, fun and build a powerful, individualized understanding.
Connecting the dots between Geometry and the Coordinate Grid.
The ability to making informed decisions about nutrition is built on using multiplication, division, and an understanding of grams and portion size.
Smart Board technology will assist students with metric system conversions.
Students will be using ratio tables to convert units of metric measurements and looking for patterns to help make the problems easier.
What do students already know about integers, rational numbers, and the coordinate plane? What gaps do students have in their understanding? Students take the Unit 3 pretest in order to inform instruction.
Practicing math problems is a great way to study for a math test!
Students explore the faces, bases, edges, and vertices of prisms and pyramids to help develop the concepts of volume and surface area.
