Grade 2: April Unit
Place Value, Prediction, and Perimeter (@ 20 days)
 

Overview
In April of second grade mathematics, students will learn the following critical skills in mathematics; communication, computation in the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), place value, odd and even numbers, data/predictions/probability, coordinate planes, perimeter and area, and a variety of problem solving strategies.

Standards

Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

  • Mathematics is dependent on place value.

  • Numbers can be represented and communicated in many different forms.
  • A sense of number is necessary to solve problems and communicate the reasoning used to predict outcomes.
  • Graphics are tools used to clarify data.
  • Interpreting data displays helps us make sense of information.
  • Geometry builds our world.
  • Appropriate tools and units are needed to measure.
  • Computation and fluency in basic mathematical operations are vital skills.
  • Estimation and computation are vital tools.

Essential Questions are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • How does a digit's place in a larger number effect its value?
  • How can math words help us communicate the solutions to problems?
  • How do patterns help us make sense of our world?
  • In what ways do graphic representations help us understand information?

  • How do predictions and estimations help us determine if our answers are reasonable?

  • Why do we need to be fluent at computation?

  • How does geometry build our world?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills

Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated at this grade level.
High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills is expected at this grade level.
Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.

 

Standard 1:  Number Sense - April

Identify place value (thousands and ten thousands)

Identify odd and even numbers in the 100s

Money (Use decimal notation)

Money (Make change from $1.00)

Review fractions

Standard 3:  Statistics and Probability - April

Interpret data to make predictions

Generate a prediction and solves problems using data (probability)

Use data from daily events or direct experiences to predict outcomes (fair, unfair, likely, more likely, less likely)

Collect and organize data into a list, table, or graph

Describe orally the relationship between a graph and a table

Standard 4:  Geometry - April

Locate and label points on a coordinate plane

Match tables and graphs of points on a coordinate plane

Standard 5:  Measurement - April

Find the perimeter of a shape

Find the area of a shape

Standard 6:  Computation - April

Solve addition and subtraction problems involving money

Select and use a variety of strategies to solve problems

Multiples 0-10

Division facts 0-5

Add and subtract 3-digit numbers without borrowing and regrouping

Parents

Help your second grader explore how to explain the answers to math problems. Let your child show you the difference between adding and subtracting. Play with odd and even numbers in the 100's.  Ask him/her to make predictions and solve problems using data from daily events to predict outcomes. Use the vocabulary of prediction and probability (fair, unfair, likely, more likely, less likely) in playing games with spinners or dice. Use the map in the phone book to locate your street. Help your child find the perimeter and area of a shape around the house. Allow your child practice adding and subtracting money. The cost of these simple activities is nothing. The gain in fun, relationship, and mathematics is great!
