Math
Grade 2
Illustrative Math is Jeffco's math resource from Kindergarten to 12th grade.
From the Publishers:
The big ideas in grade 2 include: extending understanding of the base-ten number system, building fluency with addition and subtraction, using standard units of measure, and describing and analyzing shapes. The mathematical work for grade 2 is partitioned into 9 units:
Adding, Subtracting, and Working with Data
Adding and Subtracting within 100
Measuring Length
Addition and Subtraction on the Number Line
Numbers to 1,000
Geometry, Time, and Money
Adding and Subtracting within 1,000
Equal Groups
Putting it All Together
We know students enter grade 2 with a variety of approaches for reasoning about adding and subtracting numbers. We want them to know that the ways they think about addition and subtraction continue to make sense even as the numbers get substantially larger. Although understanding place value and using place value understanding to add and subtract is the major work of the grade, a goal in writing the story of grade 2 was to make sure students focus on foundational math concepts without feeling funneled toward procedural ways of thinking.
At Ute, we will continue to meet and work with small groups or one-on-one. We will utilize a variety of hands-on materials, online resources, and websites to meet a variety of needs.
As the year progresses, I will add subpages to give more information about each of the units in Illustrative Math. As I do, the listed units will become live links, and you will be able to click on the desired subpage to get more information.
