Learn about their teachers
What your child will learn (curriculum)
Links to resources
See your child’s grade level course (team information)
Calendar
Announcements
NO grades (that is only for middle/high school)

12. Canvas – How do I find it?

13. Canvas – How do I find it?
After clicking on the Canvas Gradebook on the left, click on the link that will now appear under your child’s picture.

14. Canvas – What will it look like?
Click on the Grade level page. Then inks then click oscroll down to Quick Ln Family Resources.

15. Canvas – How do I learn more?

16. Family & Community Information on Canvas
Family and community resources are now located in the same place for all different content areas by grade level. So when you want to know what your 2nd grader will be learning and how to help them in reading, math, social studies, etc. you will only need to navigate from one page.

17. Canvas: Overview Philosophy of the Elementary Mathematics Office
Videos to support parents
We will be briefly walking you through the math pages available for parents. The overview page outlines the philosophy of the elementary mathematics program in Howard County and has a few videos that can be useful to parents.

18. Canvas: What Your Child Will Learn
Possible Teacher Dialogue:
This page can be found under the what your child will learn tab on the Canvas Parent Pages.
The table shows the specific standards for each major concept area. The table also outlines during which quarter a concept will most likely be introduced. Some concepts will be introduced during one quarter and then built upon as the year goes on.
There is also a link at the top of this page to take parents to above grade level content.

19. Major Math Concepts for Second Grade
Number Concepts
Numbers and Operations
Time
Money
Measurement and Data
Geometry
Possible Teacher Dialogue
Number Concepts: Includes counting and skip-counting within 1000, reading and writing numbers within 1000, comparing the value of two three-digit numbers and understanding place value up to three-digits, determining odd or even numbers and mentally adding 10 or 100 to a number
Numbers and Operations: Includes adding and subtracting within 100 to solve one and two-step word problems, understanding why addition and subtraction strategies work and adding and subtracting within 1000 using concrete models and drawings
Time: Includes telling and writing time in both analog and digital form to the nearest 5 minutes
Money: Includes identifying coins and their values, counting combinations of coins and dollars and using money in the context of word problems
Geometry: Includes identifying and drawing shapes with specific attributes as well as partitioning shapes into equal shares
Measurement and Data: Includes comparing the lengths of objects, measuring the length of objects with different units, using length in word problems, creating and understanding line plots, pictographs and bar graphs

20. Computational Fluency
Review the slide and what computational fluency means.
Points to focus on:
Flexibility allows students to apply concepts in a wide range of problem solving situations
Strategies for computational fluency build often starting with conceptual models and manipulatives
Computational fluency is more than just quick basic facts recall, it extends to multi-digit computation strategies and flexibility with numbers
This information about computational fluency comes directly from the Family and Community Resources pages in Canvas. There are also specific examples of different computational strategies that can be found on this page.

21. Canvas: How To Support Your Child
Each resource page includes:
Vocabulary
Suggested activities
Online activities
Links to independent practice sheets
Possible Teacher Dialogue
Within the “How to support your child tab” you can select a concept area to find additional resources (listed above). Each topic area contains the four resources that are listed above.

22. Vocabulary Possible Teacher Dialogue:
For each topic area there is a list of relevant vocabulary that will be used during instruction.

23. Activities Possible Teacher Dialogue:
For each topic area there is a list of teacher created activities that you can do with your child at home. These offer hands-on ways to practice skills taught at school.

24. Online Activities Possible Teacher Dialogue:
For each topic area there is a selection of online games to support the skills that your child is learning in school.

25. Independent Practice Possible Teacher Dialogue:
For each topic area there are links to options for paper-pencil practice that can be completed at home.

26. Canvas: Additional Resources
Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Assessments
HCPSS Resources
Possible Teacher Dialogue:
Briefly mention the resources available on the Canvas page. Mention the type of testing that occurs in 1st grade – MAP testing in the fall, winter and spring.
If there are question about the Online homework assistance tool:
It is an additional resource that HCPSS and the Howard County Library System offers. It can be accessed through the Canvas: Parent and Family, Additional Resources page. You will need your Howard county library card to gain access.

27. What Does Math Look Like Everyday?
75 minutes daily
Begins with a high-quality number routine
Standards based instruction: high quality tasks, variety of representations, purposeful questions, and student discourse
Closure everyday
Possible Teacher Dialogue:
The math block is typically 75 minutes long. Classes are structured to being with a number routine, followed by high quality math instruction and then finished with a short closure activity to end class. There are three models for which math instruction may be delivered. The instructional model used depends on concepts being taught and the needs of the class. Teachers may choose to use different instructional models day to day.

28. Stations for differentiated learning tasks

31. Balanced Instruction
Mathematics instruction in Howard County is a balance between conceptual understanding , procedural fluency and application of the mathematical concepts/skills.

32. Differentiated Instruction
Set instructional outcomes that are challenging and rigorous for all students
Select tasks with multiple entry points
Intentional selection of daily structure of math block based on student needs
Encourage students to use varied strategies to make sense of task using their own reasoning
Flexible groupings
These represent key ideas of differentiation that are outlined in the Mathematics Exemplary Elementary Program Document.

33. Homework
Each week students will be assigned homework tasks that will reinforce skills and strategies being taught at school
Specific homework policies/philosophies are school/administration/grade based and should be articulated to parents. Math office recommends that the Common Core review sheets developed by HCPSS, available on Canvas be used no more than twice a week. Other homework should reflect what is currently being taught in math class so that families will be aware of current unit of study.
