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.
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!
EXPLORE - Money
Using the Mathies Money Tool, build understanding of adding money amounts by using different combinations of coins to pay for purchases.
Review;
- What are the names of all coins (quarter, dime, nickel, penny)?
- What is the value of each coin?

- How many Jelly Beans could fill in the jar?
- How many Jelly Beans could fill half the jar?
- How many Jelly Beans are red … green, etc?
- How many Jelly beans would it take to fill a measuring cup?
PLAY - Numbersense
Learn about addition, subtraction, arrays, and simple multiplication and division as they count jelly beans.

EXPLORE & CREATE - Patterns
Using the Mathies Colour Tiles Tool;
How many different patterns can you create using only 2 colours and up to 10 tiles?
How many different patterns can you create using only 3 colours and up to 15 tiles?
Build a tile train with a colour pattern. What colour will the ___th tile in the train be? How do you know?
EXPLORE & CREATE - More Patterns
Pattern Block Activities using Mathies Pattern Blocks Tool
Use pattern to create, identify, and extend patterns. Explore fractions, angles, transformations, patterning, symmetry, and measurement.
EXPLORE & CREATE: Geometry
Using the ABCYA! Tangram Builder;
Complete the puzzles by moving and rotating the seven shapes.
