Unit 1 · 16 skills

Number

Skip-Counting to 100

Even, Odd, and Ordinal Numbers

Numbers and Place Value to 100

Addition and Subtraction to 100

The official wording · 16 outcomes
2.N.1
Say the number sequence from 0 to 100 by n 2s, 5s, and 10s, forward and backward, using starting points that are multiples of 2, 5, and 10 respectively
2.N.1
n 10s using starting points from 1 to 9 n 2s starting from 1
2.N.2
Demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd.
2.N.3
Describe order or relative position using ordinal numbers.
2.N.4
Represent and describe numbers to 100, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.
2.N.4
Represent and describe numbers to 100, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.

2.N.7
Illustrate, concretely and pictorially, the meaning of place value for numbers to 100.
2.N.7
Illustrate, concretely and pictorially, the meaning of place value for numbers to 100.
2.N.8
Demonstrate and explain the effect of adding zero to or subtracting zero from any number.
2.N.9
Demonstrate an understanding of addition (limited to 1- and 2-digit numerals) with answers to 100 and the corresponding subtraction by n using personal strategies for adding and subtracting with and without the support of manipulatives
2.N.9
Demonstrate an understanding of addition (limited to 1- and 2-digit numerals) with answers to 100 and the corresponding subtraction by n creating and solving problems that involve addition and subtraction
2.N.9
n explaining that the order in which numbers are added does not affect the sum n explaining that the order in which numbers are subtracted may affect the difference
2.N.10
Apply mental mathematics strategies, including n using doubles n making 10 n building on a known double to develop recall of basic addition facts to 18 and related subtraction facts.
2.N.10
Apply mental mathematics strategies, including n using one more, one less n using two more, two less n using addition for subtraction to develop recall of basic addition facts to 18 and related subtraction facts.

Key ideas

  1. Skip-counting by 10s (10, 20, 30...) and by 5s (5, 10, 15...) counts large amounts quickly.

  2. An even number splits into two equal groups with none left over.

  3. A number to 100 can be shown with ten frames, base-10 materials, coins, or tallies.

  4. Adding zero to a number does not change it.

  5. We can skip-count forward and backward starting from a multiple.

Watch out for

  • Losing the jump size partway through.
  • Thinking a big number must be even.
  • Reversing the tens and ones (writing 64 for 46).

Unit 2 · 5 skills

Patterns and Relations

Repeating and Increasing Patterns

Equality and Inequality

The official wording · 5 outcomes
2.PR.1
Predict an element in a repeating pattern using a variety of strategies.
2.PR.2
Demonstrate an understanding of increasing patterns by Q Q describing Q Q extending patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds, and actions (numbers to 100).
2.PR.2
Demonstrate an understanding of increasing patterns by Q Q reproducing Q Q creating patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds, and actions (numbers to 100).
2.PR.3
Demonstrate and explain the meaning of equality and inequality by using manipulatives and diagrams (0 to 100).
2.PR.4
Record equalities and inequalities symbolically using the equal symbol or the not-equal symbol.

Key ideas

  1. Knowing the core of a repeating pattern lets us predict any element.

  2. Two sets are equal when they have the same number, shown as a balanced scale.

  3. We can check a prediction by extending the pattern.

  4. Sets are unequal when one has more; we can change a set to create inequality.

  5. An increasing pattern grows by the same amount each time.

Watch out for

  • Guessing without using the repeating core.
  • Judging equality by size of objects rather than number.
  • Miscounting the position to predict.

Unit 3 · 11 skills

Shape and Space

Days, Months, and the Calendar

Measuring with Non-Standard Units

Sorting and Describing Shapes

The official wording · 11 outcomes
2.SS.1
Relate the number of days to a week and the number of months to a year in a problem-solving context.
2.SS.1
Relate the number of days to a week and the number of months to a year in a problem-solving context.
2.SS.2
Relate the size of a unit of measure to the number of units (limited to non-standard units) used to measure length and mass (weight).
2.SS.3
Compare and order objects by length, height, distance around, and mass (weight) using non-standard units, and make statements of comparison.
2.SS.4
Measure length to the nearest non-standard unit by n using multiple copies of a unit
2.SS.4
Measure length to the nearest non-standard unit by n using a single copy of a unit (iteration process)
2.SS.5
Demonstrate that changing the orientation of an object does not alter the measurements of its attributes.
2.SS.6
Sort 2-D shapes and 3-D objects using two attributes, and explain the sorting rule.
2.SS.7
Describe, compare, and construct 3-D objects, including n cubes n spheres n cones n cylinders n prisms n pyramids
2.SS.8
Describe, compare, and construct 2-D shapes, including n triangles n squares n rectangles n circles
2.SS.9
Identify 2-D shapes as parts of 3-D objects in the environment.

Key ideas

  1. There are 7 days in a week and 12 months in a year.

  2. A smaller unit needs more units to measure the same object.

  3. Sorting by two attributes means each item must match both rules.

  4. A calendar shows the day, month, and date.

  5. We choose a unit that fits the object we are measuring.

Watch out for

  • Mixing up the order of the months.
  • Thinking a bigger unit gives a bigger count.
  • Sorting by only one attribute.

Unit 4 · 3 skills

Statistics and Probability

Gathering and Graphing Data

The official wording · 3 outcomes
2.SP.1
Gather and record data about self and others to answer questions.
2.SP.2
Construct and interpret concrete graphs and pictographs to solve problems.
2.SP.2
Construct and interpret concrete graphs and pictographs to solve problems.

Key ideas

  1. We start with a question we can answer by collecting information.

  2. We organize data with tallies, checkmarks, charts, or lists as we collect it.

  3. A concrete graph uses real objects lined up to show data.

  4. We read a concrete graph to answer questions and solve problems.

  5. A pictograph uses a picture to stand for each item, one to one.

Watch out for

  • Asking a question that can't be answered by collecting data.
  • Losing track of tallies while collecting.
  • Lining objects up unevenly so the graph misleads.
