Addition, Subtraction, and the Number System 1:This unit focuses on adding and subtracting single-digit numbers, focusing particularly on adding numbers in any order; shifting from counting by 1s to counting by groups, particularly groups of tens and ones, which lays the foundation for students’ work with place value and the base-10 number system; and developing and refining strategies for solving a variety of addition and subtraction problems. As the first unit in Grade 2, it also introduces the mathematical tools, processes, and ways of working that will be the foundation of math class. As part of this work, students are introduced to several year-long classroom routines that offer regular practice with composing and decomposing numbers, developing visual images of quantities, addition and subtraction facts, telling time, and counting, collecting, and analyzing data.

Students classify matter based on physical properties. Students explore examples of properties such as temperature, texture, flexibility, physical state (solid or liquid) and changes in matter caused by heating and cooling. Additionally, this unit covers the combination of different types of matter (multiple types of solids) that can be used to create structures that could not be built by one substance alone. (I.e. steel and concrete in a building)

Students will be able to answer the big question “How do people best cooperate?” by examining how responsible citizens respect others, that citizens have common rights, the role of government, and the democratic values, principles and beliefs of our country.
