Extend the counting sequence up to 1000.
Understand place value. (Hundreds, Tens, and ones)
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.
Fluently add and subtract within 100 and mentally adding/subtracting 10 or 100
to a number between 100-1000.

Math Objectives Cont.
4
Geometry
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
Recognize and draw shapes based on the
number of angles and/or faces. Triangles,
quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and
cubes.
Determine area using same size squares to
count and find the total.
Partition circles and rectangles into 2, 3, or 4
equal shares. Halves, thirds, and fourths
Mathematics
Math Investigations:
A program that involves
inquiry based thinking and hands on
problem solving enabling students to
understand mathematical concepts.
Sample solutions:
There are 15 cows in the field
14 more cows join them. How
many cows are in there in all?
MODELING Solution Strategy
COUNTING Solution Strategy
DERIVED FACTS Strategy
Child uses objects or draws pictures.
Counts from 1. Sometimes called Acting
out.




Childs starts with a number other than one
and counts up or counts backward.




Child uses facts and reasoning to solve.
(Doubles, Doubles plus or minus 1, Making
10s, etc)

I know 15+15= 30, so 15+14=29
Place Value
Please solve
the following
problem:

58+17=?
How did you solve this problem?
Discussion
Possible solutions:
3. 50+10=60 8+7=15 15 is a 10 and a 5.
60+ 10=70. 70+5=75
Make the 58 a 60 by taking 2 from 17. 17 would become a 15. 15
is a 10 and a 5. SO 60+10+5=75.
Number line. 5810 more is 68. Then 7 more to get to 75.
(Shows a deeper understanding of place value.)

4. Number Bonds
58+17=

58 + 17 =

50 8 10 7

50 + 10 = 60
8 + 7 = 15
60 + 15 = 75
8
Subtraction
58-17 =

58 - 17 =

50 8 10 7

50 - 10 = 40
8 - 7 = 1
40 + 1 = 41
9
A students writing should:
Write a series of sentences organized, on topic , and in sequential
order.
Varied sentence patterns and lengths.
Use descriptive writing and elaboration.
Be organized logically.
Spell high frequency words correctly.
Use paragraphs inconsistently in writing.
Use correct capitalization and punctuation most of the time.
Writing
Accelerated Reader
Is not graded, but highly
encouraged.
Reading level is based on the
STAR test.
AR is an independent reading
program.
Students read and
comprehend a book in their
assigned level and then
complete a computerized test.
80%-100% is a passing score
for second graders
Students who reach
their goal will receive
a certificate and
teacher decided
reward.

Goals are based
from students
reading levels and
determined by the
AR program.
Science and Social Studies
Science
Understand properties of solids and
liquids and the changes they undergo.
Understand patterns of weather and
factors that affect weather.
Understand animal life cycles.
Remember organisms have similar
and different characteristics from their
parents.
Understand the relationship between
sound and vibrating objects.
Social Studies
Understand how various sources
provide information about the past.
Use geographic representation,
terms, and technology to process
information from a spatial
perspective.
Understand the effects of humans
interacting with their environment.
Understand basic economic
concepts.
Understand the purposes of
governments.
Understand the roles and
responsibilities of citizens.
Understand how various cultures
influence communities.
