Grade 2:
November Unit
Attributes, Shapes, and Time
(@ 15 days)
Overview
Video Introduction. November
focuses
on learning critical mathematics skills and includes lessons on
using math language to explain and describe patterns, geometric shapes, and
answers to math problems, and to tell time. Second graders will experience math activities using shapes to
identify, describe,
draw, and compare geometric shapes, explore and describe color, shape, and
size of shapes, and use shapes to create and reproduce designs and patterns,
tell time to the quarter hour, explain the answers to math problems, and
demonstrate the difference between adding and subtracting. Students will
understand more math vocabulary and practical uses of problem solving words
and strategies, more complex geometric concepts and patterns, and how to
explain their mathematics thinking and processing.

Standards
Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
-
We need number sense
and math words to communicate reasoning and to find reasonable
solutions.
-
Recognizing patterns helps
us make sense of our world.
-
Geometry builds our world.
-
Estimation,
measurement, and computation
are vital math tools.
Essential Questions
are the most important “big picture”
questions students should be able to answer after completing learning
activities.
-
Why is it important to
learn math words?
-
How does having a sense of
number help us find solutions and understand if our solutions are accurate?
-
What is a pattern? Where
do we find patterns? What can patterns reveal?
-
What is geometry? How do we
use geometry in our everyday lives? How does geometry build our world?
-
How is time a measurement?

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. |

Parents
You can help your
second grader as he/she continues to learn more sophisticated mathematics in
quarter 2 by calling attention to times to the quarter hour on digital and
analog clocks. Telling time is a complex skill, so lots of practice is in
order. Help your child compare like items by color, shape, and size.
Slices of bread, fruit, blocks, and other items around the house work well
for this activity. Tell simple math stories that involve adding or
subtracting small numbers. Have your child tell you about their thinking
and how they got the answer. An
example might be; You want to make brownies for a Thanksgiving feast in your
classroom. It takes 20 minutes to bake the brownies and 10 minutes to cool
before you can eat them. How long will you have to wait before you can eat
one? (Be sure to include baking time.) Tell your answer in minutes and also
in hours. |
