Grade 2 Video Example

While this is a good example, I've started to expect students to make fewer jumps to solve the equations more efficiently than shown here.

At this time, they should be capable of jumping all the ones in a chunk together, then the tens together, then the ones.

For the example shown (67-18) on the number line it would be 2+40+7=49

Grade 3 Video Example

While the whole video is good review of number concepts, I recommend skipping ahead to 4 minutes and 48 seconds for an overview of the strategy I would like students to use below.

I prefer that students jump forward by "thinking addition" to "find the difference" when subtracting. This will be an easier mental math strategy long-term.

Grade 2 and Grade 3 Project pages are here with:

• Instructions

• Recording space for measurements, perimeter (and area for grade 3)

On which to design the "animal habitats" for your zoo.

Time is made up of a variety of different units (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years...)

This song explains how each of the units work.

These pages have students determine what type of "time unit" they would use to measure each activity.

You only need to watch the video up to the 2 minute and 38 second mark (after this she explains an activity that you aren't doing-so you don't need to watch the rest)

Cut the times from the bottom of each page and glue them under the clock (if you don't have scissors and glue at home, just write the time in the proper space!)

This video explains how to use the "hour hand" and "minute hand" of the clock to tell time to 5 minutes.

The number the hour hand has gone by is the current hour.

Skip count by 5 using the big numbers to determine how many minutes have gone by.

Practice writing the proper time below each clock

on the two pages in this activity.

If you need a review of telling time to the nearest 5 minutes, re-watch yesterday's video.

Or, watch this song as a fun review of what we've learned this week.

Complete this second page to reinforce what you

have learned about telling time to 5 minutes!
