Unit 1 · 17 skills

Number

Skip-Counting to 100

Even, Odd, and Order

Numbers to 100 and Place Value

The Effect of Zero

Addition and Subtraction to 100

The official wording · 17 outcomes
2.N1
Say the number sequence from 0 to 100 by 2s, 5s and 10s, forward and backward, using starting points that are multiples of 2, 5 and 10 respectively
2.N1
10s using starting points from 1 to 9; and 2s starting from 1.
2.N2
Demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd.
2.N3
Describe order or relative position using ordinal numbers (up to tenth).
2.N4
Represent and describe numbers to 100, concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
2.N7
Illustrate, concretely and pictorially, the meaning of place value for numerals to 100.
2.N5
Compare and order numbers up to 100.
2.N6
Estimate quantities to 100 using referents.
2.N8
Demonstrate and explain the effect of adding zero to or subtracting zero from any number.
2.N9
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
2.N9
the corresponding subtraction by using personal strategies for adding and subtracting with and without the support of manipulatives
2.N9
creating and solving problems that involve addition and subtraction
2.N9
explaining that the order in which numbers are added does not affect the sum
2.N9
and explaining that the order in which numbers are subtracted may affect the difference.
2.N10
Apply mental mathematics strategies, such as: using doubles; ... building on a known double
2.N10
making 10; one more, one less; two more, two less
2.N10
and addition for subtraction to determine basic addition facts to 18 and related subtraction facts.

Key ideas

  1. Skip-counting means counting in equal jumps, like 5, 10, 15, 20.

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

  3. Numbers to 100 can be shown with tens rods and ones cubes.

  4. Adding zero means adding nothing, so the number stays the same.

  5. We can add tens and ones separately, then combine them.

Watch out for

  • Slipping back to counting by 1s partway through.
  • Thinking a big number must be even because it looks 'full.'.
  • Reversing the tens and ones digits, like writing 74 for 47.

Unit 2 · 4 skills

Patterns and Relations

Increasing Patterns

Equality and Inequality

The official wording · 4 outcomes
2.PR1
Demonstrate an understanding of increasing patterns by describing
2.PR1
reproducing; extending; and creating patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds and actions (numbers to 100).
2.PR2
Demonstrate and explain the meaning of equality and inequality by using manipulatives and diagrams (0 to 100).
2.PR3
Record equalities and inequalities symbolically using the equal symbol or the not equal symbol.

Key ideas

  1. An increasing pattern gets larger by a set amount each step.

  2. Equal means both sides are the same amount.

  3. We describe it by telling how much it grows, like 'add 2 each time.'.

  4. Not equal means one side has more than the other.

  5. To extend an increasing pattern, keep adding the same amount.

Watch out for

  • Missing that the growth amount stays the same each step.
  • Thinking the equal sign just means 'the answer.'.
  • Calling a repeating pattern an increasing one.

Unit 3 · 11 skills

Shape and Space

Days, Weeks, and Months

Measuring with Non-Standard Units

Solids and Shapes

The official wording · 11 outcomes
2.SS1
Relate the number of days to a week and the number of months to a year in a problem-solving context.
2.SS2
Relate the size of a unit of measure to the number of units (limited to non- standard units) used to measure length
2.SS2
the number of units (limited to non- standard units) used to measure length and mass (weight).
2.SS3
Compare and order objects by length, height, distance around and mass (weight) using nonstandard units, and make statements of comparison.
2.SS3
Compare and order objects by length, height, distance around and mass (weight) using nonstandard units, and make statements of comparison.
2.SS4
Measure length to the nearest non-standard unit by using multiple copies of a unit
2.SS4
and using a single copy of a unit (iteration process).
2.SS5
Describe, compare and construct 3D objects, including: cubes; spheres; cones; cylinders; and pyramids.
2.SS5
construct 3D objects, including: cubes; spheres; cones; cylinders; and pyramids.
2.SS6
Describe, compare and construct 2D shapes, including: triangles; squares; rectangles; and circles.
2.SS6
construct 2D shapes, including: triangles; squares; rectangles; and circles.

Key ideas

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

  2. If the unit is bigger, we need fewer of them to measure the same length.

  3. Solids include cubes, spheres, cones, cylinders, and pyramids.

  4. We can use these facts to solve calendar problems.

  5. If the unit is smaller, we need more of them.

Watch out for

  • Mixing up the number of days in a week with days in a month.
  • Thinking a bigger unit needs a bigger count.
  • Confusing a cube with a square (solid vs flat).

Unit 4 · 2 skills

Statistics and Probability

Collecting and Graphing Data

The official wording · 2 outcomes
2.SP1
Gather and record data about self and others to answer questions.
2.SP2
Construct and interpret concrete graphs and pictographs to solve problems.

Key ideas

  1. Data is information we collect to answer a question.

  2. We can record answers with tally marks or a chart.

  3. A concrete graph uses real objects; a pictograph uses pictures.

  4. The tallest column or most pictures shows the most popular choice.

Watch out for

  • Losing count of answers without tallies.
  • Asking a question that cannot be answered with data.
  • Not lining up the objects or pictures evenly.
