2nd Grade Math:
Our Math curriculum is Everyday Mathematics, from the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project.
Assessments:
We will have assessments at the end of each unit and at the end of each trimester.
To practice our addition and subtraction facts, we do a daily Mad Minute. Your child will try to answer as many facts in one minute as he/she can. There are 30 problems per page. When your child has mastered easy addition, they will move to harder addition. This will happen with subtraction and multiplication as well. Please practice at home too!!!
Homework:
Math homework will be sent home every Friday and expected to return the following Thursday. Please play the math game, many times, with your child and complete 3 activities, per week, on the Tic-Tac-Toe board.
Our Goals for the year:
Number and Numeration:
-Understand the meanings, uses and representations of numbers.
*Rote Counting- Count forward and backward by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, 25s, and 100s to and from 1000.
*Place value
*Writing money in dollar-and-cents notation.
*Fractions
*Recognize a number as odd or even.
-Understand equivalent names for numbers.
*Equivalent Names for Whole Numbers
*Equivalent Names for fractions, decimals, and percents
-Understand common numerical relations.
*Comparing and ordering numbers.
Operations and Computation:
-Compute accurately.
*Addition and subtraction
*Addition and subtraction procedures
-Make reasonable estimates.
*Computational estimation
-Understand meaning of operations
*Comparison, change, parts-and-total situations. Use repeated addition,
arrays and skip counting for multiplication; use equal sharing and
equal grouping to model division.
Data and Chance:
-Select and create appropriate graphical representations of collected or given data.
*Data collection and representation.
-Analyze and interpret data.
*Data analysis: graphs to find maximum, minimum, mode, and median
of a data set.
-Understand and apply basic concepts of probability.
*Qualitative probability: describe events using certain, likely, unlikely,
impossible, and other basic probability terms.
Measurement and Reference Frames:
-Understand the systems and processes of measurement; use appropriate techniques, tools, units, and formulas in making measurements.
*Length, weight, and angles
*Area, perimeter, volume, and capacity
*Units and systems of measurement- hours in a day and days in a
week
*Money- Make exchanges between coins and bills
