Math - Gr 2

In this Math unit, children will have the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the five Math strands.

Students will explore a variety of Math activities including; Number Sense, Measurement, Data Management, Geometry & Patterning.

WATCH & DO - Measurement & Number Sense/Bar Graphs

Learn360 Video - Watch this video about communities around the world.

Watch the Kahn Academy tutorial and create a bar graph.

Graph the data using a bar graph in KidZone or on paper using this template. Go back and find the part of “If the World Were a Village” where it talks about where in the world the 100 people come from.

Create bar graphs Create a bar graph with the data given.

EXPLORE - Patterning

Practice counting forward by 2s, 5s, and 10s by using various starting points on a hundreds chart.

What patterns do you notice?

Now try counting by 10s and 25.

Use the Mathies Hundreds Chart Tool

Or go to the Interactive Number Chart on ABCYa!
