Second Grade Mathematics Learning Goals for 1st Nine Weeks
Skills students should demonstrate at the end of the 1st Nine weeks of school: Unit 1 • Learning Goal: Student will determine the part-‐whole relationship when a number is composed and decomposed. (e.g., What relationship can be described when 1,125 is broken into so many one thousands, so many hundreds, so many tens, and so many ones?) How parents can help: ! You and your student can use a Pop-‐Tart box or any small three-‐ dimensional box to resemble thousands, and cutouts of squares, rods (ten units put together), and small squares/units for ones in order to compose and decompose numbers at home. ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to break apart and put numbers back together. o http://www.ictgames.com/sharknumbers.html o http://www.learningbox.com/Base10/BaseTen.html o 10 Frame Fill • Learning Goal: Student will understand that a number can vary in representation as long as the total value of each representation remains unchanged (whole numbers up to 1,200). How parents can help: ! You and your student can practice on a small whiteboard breaking numbers apart into their individual place values. (e.g., 1,213-‐ one thousand, 2 hundreds, 1 ten, and 3 ones) ! You can also create a reusable surface (whiteboard) with a small piece of cardboard inserted into a large freezer bag to practice writing the same number composed of different amounts of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to reinforce the place value in numbers. o Number Pieces, by the Math Learning Center o Number Pieces Basic, by the Math Learning Center o http://www.mhschool.com/math/mathtoolchest/mtc_online/ • Learning Goal: Student will understand that adding or subtracting will increase and decrease the number (counting numbers up to 1,200). How parents can help: ! You and your student can use your homemade base ten blocks from the first learning goal to take away and add to a number you created. Do this over and over until it becomes automatic for your student. ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to reinforce fact strategies as well. o http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/mathematics/eb ook_assets/vmf/VMF-‐Interface.html o Number Pieces, by the Math Learning Center

! You and your student can always use a white off surface and dry erase marker to create number sentences that allow your student to add or subtract to a number that you all make. (e.g., 1,189-‐ 8) • Learning Goal: Student will know the value of a digit’s (number’s) position within a number determines its value (whole numbers up to 1,200). How parents can help: ! You and your student can make a homemade spinner with construction paper, markers, and a paper clip. Your student can practice making three digit numbers by spinning it three separate times to create a number. Then, they can practice writing the number in standard and expanded form to understand the value of each number. (e.g., 567-‐standard; 5 hundreds + 6 tens + 7 ones= 567-‐ expanded) ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to reinforce telling time to the hour. o http://www.mhschool.com/math/mathtoolchest/mtc_online/ o Math Tool Chest allows you to use a numbered spinner using the setup option (building blocks) o Number Lines by Braining Camp • Learning Goal: Student will understand that when comparing two numbers, the relationship between the numbers can be that of equality, meaning the two numbers are the same, or inequality, meaning one number is greater than or less than the other number (whole numbers up to 1,200). How parents can help: ! You and your student can use index cards or small sheets of paper to write numbers on them 0-‐9. Also, include the , and = signs to compare numbers. Then, you can create any number combination you want by placing the appropriate sign in between two numbers. ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to reinforce the relationships between the numbers. o http://mrnussbaum.com/geniusboxing1/ o Number Lines by Braining Camp • Learning Goal: Student will understand how numbers can be ordered based on their numerical value (whole numbers up to 1,200). How parents can help: ! You and your student can practice putting numbers in order by making it a game of who can do it the fastest. Use the same three numbers to create different numbers. (e.g., 123, 213, 312) ! You and your student can use the Internet to reinforce how numbers can be placed in order. o http://www.iboard.co.uk/activity/Making-‐Numbers-‐Open-‐340

Learning Goal: Student will use an open number line to represent the position of a number by a specified unit length and its distance from zero. How parents can help: ! You and your student can create a number line with yarn that you can hang anywhere that you all do your homework. ! You and your student can cut full sheets of paper into four equal parts. Then, fold each one of those sheets in half like a table tent. Then, on one side write a number. Write a different number on the remaining three pieces. Then, allow your student to put them in order from left to right on the yarn number line. You could also just use index cards and fold them in half too. ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to reinforce number lines. o http://www.mhschool.com/math/mathtoolchest/mtc_online/ o http://www.brainpop.com/games/battleshipnumberline/ o Number Lines, by Braining Camp Unit 2 • Learning Goal: Student will understand the value of coins with either a dollar sign or cent symbol and decimal point to determine the value of the collection of coins (collection of coins up to $1.00). How parents can help: ! You and your student can collect loose change and practice counting. ! You and your student can set amounts and count change for each specified amount. ! You and your student can use the Internet and apps to reinforce the value of coins. o http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/matching/memo ryMath_coins_level1.htm o http://www.kidsmathgamesonline.com/money/moneycounting.h tml o Counting Coins, by K12 Inc. o Counting Bills & Coins, by K12 Inc. • Learning Goal: Student will understand how a number can be separated into two equal groups is an even number, whereas a number that cannot be separated into two equal groups is an odd number (whole numbers up to 40). How parents can help: •

! You and your student can practice writing odd and even numbers with the numerals listed that they will always end with. (e.g., odd-‐ 1,3,5,7, or 9; even-‐ 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) !

How parents can help: ! You and your student can use home made base-‐10 blocks made out of food or just paper and three-‐dimensional boxes to practice subtracting/adding from predetermined numbers. (e.g., Pop-‐Tart box, stick pretzels, carrots, individual grapes, M&M’s, etc.) !

How parents can help: ! You and your student can use a wipe-‐away surface (white board or large Ziploc bag with a cardboard inserted) to practice putting “unknowns” in the number sentences with things you have around the house. (e.g., 12+x=30) ! You can build equations with magnetic numbers with the use of “x” as your unknown.

Learning Goal: Student will know that when adding or subtracting two non-‐zero whole numbers, the sums will always be larger than each of the addends and the difference will always be smaller than the minuend (larger number on top/front to subtract from) (sums/differences of whole numbers within 1,000).

How parents can help: ! You and your student can practice solving problems using pictures/representations that help your student understand the problem. ! Steps-‐ o Underline the question. o Rewrite the question into a sentence with a fill-‐in-‐the-‐blank spot for the answer you find at the end of this process. o Write the who? or what? in the margin. o Chunk the word problem with bars to really see what they problem is asking you. o Use fraction bars to model the items you are adding or subtracting in the problem. o Find the answer and fill in your sentence to complete it. !
