This lesson requires students to think independently to problem solve using math. Lesson includes a video and pictures to help you implement this lesson.

Second graders have worked with models and strategies to solve a variety of math problems. Today they will need to use those strategies to complete the math tasks.

Students will work as a class to solve word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and simple fractions. To culminate the lesson, students will create their own word problems.

A activity where students collect trash, sort, and record the mass in grams. They will use their knowledge of numbers to figure out what category of trash had the most. The biggest idea of the activity is that students will be more...

I want my students to realize that numbers are everywhere and math is applicable to almost all other subjects. Geography offers a perfect opportunity for students to make this connection.

Patterns are prevalent in all levels of math. Common Core Standards expect students to be able to use structure - like that found in repeating the patterns of odd and even numbers or counting by 5s or 10s - to solve problems (MP7).

Second graders love to talk about pets and in this instructional activity they can share how many pets they have.

Second graders oftentimes struggle with comparison problems since there is no "action" in the problem (i.e.: nothing is getting taken away or added). In this lesson, 2nd graders practice strategies for solving comparison problems.

Second graders solve change unknown story problems using a number line. This lesson gives students a new strategy to attach change unknown word problems.

This lesson is an informal assessment of student understanding of the base ten system, a critical area in the Common Core.

Students learn how to construct shapes and understand the properties of these shapes. The lesson plan includes an overview and a lesson toolkit.

Students investigate the concept of a number as a quantity. The lesson plan includes an overview and a lesson toolkit.

Students investigate the concept of a number as a quantity. The activity has learners convert back and forth between decimal and binary expansions of numbers. The lesson plan includes an overview and a lesson toolkit.

Learners explore connections between addition, subtraction, and multiplication. In addition, students review place value and learn about the distributive law. The lesson plan includes an overview and a lesson toolkit.

The number line is a powerful math tool students can use to model their thinking when solving addition and subtraction problems. Use this instructional activity to help students use the number line to count forwards and backwards from 0...

Second graders use their knowledge of place value to determine whether a comparison statement is true or false.

Patterns are everywhere. We can use patterns to help us deal with larger numbers

Second graders can find patterns in 4-digit numbers that will help them when counting over decades and centuries.

To make sense of numbers in the thousands, 2nd grade students need practice identifying place value positions and using place value strategies in numbers to 1,000.

As the result of a Unit assessment, it was found that students showed some confusion with writing time and with adding sets of coins. These skills need to be reviewed to aid in mastery of the Common Core standards for time and money.

Second graders will become more comfortable making sense of equations presented in missing answer (traditional) and missing number ( nontraditional) formats.

Using dimes to make change is another way to work with subtracting tens within 100.

When subtracting ten from a 2 digit number, 2nd graders should be able to compute the answer as fluently and comfortably as do when they add ten to a 2 digit number.

Second graders need practice using coins and dollars and relating them to ones, tens and hundreds. Common Core standards include counting by 10s and 100s.
