Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic D, students apply fraction and skip-counting skills to telling time. The Topic starts with Lesson 13, in which students make paper clocks from templates. After a brief review of the clock...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic C focuses on partitioning circles and rectangles into equal fractional parts. In Lesson 9, students are first introduced to partitioning shapes into two equal shares, or halves, using both...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic B, students build and partition composite shapes, exploring fraction concepts as they identify the relationships between parts and wholes. Students see in Lesson 6 that the tangram puzzle (...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Module 8, students continue to develop their geometric thinking from Grade 1, progressing from a descriptive to an analytic level of thinking, where they can recognize and characterize shapes by...
Jan 26, 2016 - Building on the work in Topic E, students now connect the process of measuring to displaying data in line plots. In Lesson 23, the students measure their own handspan (i.e., the distance from the tip...
Jan 26, 2016 - Beginning Topic E, Lesson 20 has students using drawings to compare lengths and writing equations with an unknown to represent problems, just as they did in Module 2 (2.MD.5). In this lesson, however...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic D builds upon the work students completed in Module 2 with centimeter measures, as students now explore measurement using both customary and metric units. In Lesson 16, students rotate through...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic C reinforces the measurement concepts and skills learned in Module 2 while focusing on customary units. In Lesson 14, students use an inch tile to measure various objects using iteration. By...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic B, students solve problems involving coins and bills. They begin at the concrete level in Lesson 6, using play money to review the different coin values from Grade 1. Beginning with the...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic A, student work revolves around categorical data, which is produced by sorting objects or information into categories. For example, students learn about categories of animal classes and...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic C naturally follows Topic B, where students composed and manipulated the rows and columns of an array. This topic is designed to deepen students’ understanding of spatial structuring as they...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic B focuses on spatial relationships and structuring as students organize equal groups (from Topic A) into rectangular arrays. They build small arrays (up to 5 by 5) and use repeated addition of...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic A begins at the concrete level as students use objects to create equal groups, providing a foundation for the construction of arrays in Topic B. In Lesson 1, for example, students are given 12...
Jan 26, 2016 - -Links to: G3–M2 Place Value and Problem Solving with Units of Measure Topic D focuses on the application of the tools and concepts presented in Topics A through C. Students synthesize their...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic C builds upon Module 4’s groundwork, now decomposing tens and hundreds within 1,000 (2.NBT.7). In Lesson 13, students model decompositions with number disks on their place value charts while...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic B in Module 5 is analogous to Topic B in Module 4, but while in Module 4 students composed ones and tens within 200, Module 5 expands upon this, finding students composing tens and hundreds...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic A, students practice the simplifying strategies they learned in Module 4, but with numbers up to 1,000. They will be asked to consider which strategy is most efficient for each problem they...
Jan 26, 2016 - Module 4 culminates with Topic F, in which students think about and discuss the multiple strategies they have learned to represent and solve addition and subtraction problems. They share their...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic E begins with an extension of mental math strategies learned in first grade, when students learned to subtract from the ten by using number bonds. In Lesson 23, they return to this strategy to...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Lesson 17 of Topic D, students extend the base ten understanding developed in Topic A to numbers within 200. Having worked with manipulatives to compose 10 ones as 1 ten, students relate this to...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic C parallels Topic B, as students apply their understanding of place value strategies to the subtraction algorithm, moving from concrete to pictorial to abstract. It is important to note that...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic B, students apply their understanding of place value strategies to the addition algorithm, moving from horizontal to vertical notation. Their understanding of vertical addition starts with...
Jan 26, 2016 - The module closes with questions such as, “What number is 10 less than 402?” and “What number is 100 more than 98?” As students have been counting up and down throughout the module, these three...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic E, students transition to the more abstract number disks that will be used through Grade 5 when modeling very large and very small numbers. The foundation has been carefully laid for this...
