Second Grade Summer Math Practice Book
Stop the summer lag with a set of second grade Common Core based math practice sheets. Learners fill in hundreds charts with missing numbers up to 1,000. They practice writing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form. Children also...
Curated OER
Long, Longer, Longest
This worm might be long, but can scholars draw an even longer worm? Focus on relative size as they draw a longer worm and then a longer necklace. Next, youngsters examine two sets of objects and check off the longest in an introduction...

Order Length
In this ordering measurements of length worksheet, students observe sets of three pictures and number them in order from shortest to longest. Students solve 9 problems.
Curated OER
Compare Weight
In this comparing weights worksheet, learners observe sets of three objects and number them from lightest to heaviest. Students solve 9 problems.
Curated OER
Order Length
In this length worksheet, students number the objects in order from shortest to longest. Students use the longest side of each to determine the order of length for the 9 problems.

Getting the Job Done—Speed, Work, and Measurement Units
How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity, weight,...

Swinging Pendulum
Get into the swing of things. Pupils use a pendulum to demonstrate the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and back. After measuring the speed of a pendulum and compare it to the calculated theoretical speed, they determine...
Kids Learning Station
Long and Short
Youngsters examine four sets of familiar images, circling the one that is short and underlining the one that is long. This is likely best done 1:1 with kids or as a big class, projecting the image for everyone to see.

Which is Bigger?
To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.
