Shape & Space
This is a very hands on unit and we've been building shapes using a variety of materials. We've been doing a lot of comparing shapes and identifying where we might see some of these shapes in the real world.
General Outcome General Outcome
Describe the characteristics of 3-D
objects and 2-D shapes, and analyze the relationships
among them.
Specific Outcomes Specific Outcomes
6. Sort 2-D shapes and 3-D objects,
using two attributes, and explain the sorting
rule.
7. Describe, compare and construct 3-D
objects, including:
• cubes
• spheres
• cones
• cylinders
• pyramids.
8. Describe, compare and construct 2-D
shapes, including:
• triangles
• squares
• rectangles
• circles.
9. Identify 2-D shapes as parts of 3-D
objects in the environment.
Number
Our second unit is looking at number! As with all of our math units in grade 2 this is another very hands on unit. We will be using a lot of base ten blocks and counters to help us out!
General Outcome
Develop number sense
Specific Outcomes
1. Say the number sequence 0 to 100 by:
- 2s, 5s and 10s, forward and backward, using starting points that are multiples of 2, 5 and 10 respectively
- 10s, using starting points from 1 to 9
- 2s, starting from 1
2. Demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd.
3. Describe order or relative position, using ordinal numbers (up to tenth).
4. Represent and describe numbers to 100, concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
5. Compare and order numbers up to 100.
6. Estimate quantities to 100, using referents.
7. Illustrate, concretely and pictorially, the meaning of place value for numerals to 100.
8. Demonstrate and explain the effect of adding zero to, or subtracting zero from, any number.
9. Demonstrate an understanding of addition (limited to 1- and 2-digit numerals) with answers to 100 and the corresponding subtraction by:
- using personal strategies for adding and subtracting with and without the support of manipulatives
- creating and solving problems that involve addition and subtraction
- using the commutative property of addition (the order in which numbers are added does not affect the sum)
- using the associative property of addition (grouping a set of numbers in different ways does not affect the sum)
- explaining that the order in which numbers are subtracted may affect the difference.
10. Apply mental mathematics strategies, such as:
- using doubles
- making 10
- one more, one less
- two more, two less
- building on a known double
- thinking addition for subtraction
for basic addition facts and related subtraction facts to 18.
Patterns and Relations
Our first unit in grade 2 this year will be patterns! This will be a very hands on unit. Here are some of the objectives we will be working towards!
General Outcome
Use patterns to describe the world and to solve problems.
Specific Outcomes
1. Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (three to five elements) by:
- describing
- extending
- comparing
- creating patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds and actions.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of increasing patterns by:
- describing
- reproducing
- extending
- creating numerical (numbers to 100) and non-numerical patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds and actions.
3. Sort a set of objects, using two attributes, and explain the sorting rule.
