2 nd grade Orientation For math! What your child needs to know to be successful in Math – based on the Readiness Standards

Place Value Use standard, word, and expanded forms to represent numbers up to 1, 200 (2.2B) Examples: Standard form - just the number – 125 Word form – the number in words – one hundred, twenty – five Regular Expanded form – an addition equation that shows the number’s value for each place = 125 Break Apart Expanded form – an addition equations that decomposes the number in parts – =125

Comparing Numbers use place value to compare and order whole numbers up to 1, 200 using comparative language, numbers, and symbols (>, <, or =) (2.2D) Vocabulary: Less than, Greater than, Equal to *hint: the alligator mouth always eats the biggest number* Home practice: when you are at the store or restaurant, compare prices of items

Fractions Part of a whole, when the whole is divided into equal pieces explain that the more fractional parts used to make a whole, the smaller the part; and the fewer the fractional parts, the larger the part (2.3B) Home practice: pizza, graham crackers, sharing a whole with someone ½¼1/8

Word problems Solve one-step and multi-step word problems involving addition and subtraction within 1000 using a variety of strategies based on place value, including algorithms (2.4C) Generate and solve problem situations for a given mathematical number sentence involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers within 1, 000 (2.4D) = Adding by place value, base ten blocks in 1 st semester Later, 2 nd semester, teach the algorithm Make up problems with your child to solve

Geometry classify and sort three-dimensional solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms, including cubes as special rectangular prisms based on attributes using formal geometric language (2.8B) classify and sort polygons with 12 or fewer sides according to attributes, including identifying the number of sides and number of vertices (2.8C) Find and identify shapes in everyday life!

-Vertices -Edges -Faces -Vertices -Edges

determine a solution to a problem involving length, including estimating lengths (2.9E) Vocabulary: inch, foot, yard, mile, centimeter, meter Home practice: use a ruler or measuring tape

Telling Time read and write time to the nearest one-minute increments using analog and digital clocks and distinguish between a.m. and p.m. (2.9G ) Home practice – help your child read an analog clock at wake up, breakfast (a.m.), dinner, bed, homework, and bath time(p.m.)!

determine the value of a collection of coins up to one dollar (2.5A) 1 st, put the money in order from greatest value to least and then count by patterns , 20, 25, 26, 27 25, 35, 40, 41, 42 25, 50, 60, 65, 66 Home help: count change around the house, let your child have a penny bank

Write and solve one-step word problems involving addition or subtraction using data represented within pictographs and bar graphs with intervals of one (2.10C) Intervals – what the graph counting by Scale – what each unit is worth

Homework Tuesdays and Thursdays – something for review to be done in the notebook Short math homework given for now, while students focus on become excellent readers! Later in the year, I will assign pages from the book for Tuesday or Thursday night

Welcome to Second Grade for Reading
