It was a great week of learning!
2.1 Math
The students will be able to complete the following in math this week:
MCC2.NBT.1 - Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones.
MCC2.NBT.1.a - 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens - called a “hundred.”
MCC2.NBT.1.b - The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).
MCC2.NBT.2 - Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s
MCC2.NBT.3 - Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
MCC2.NBT.4 - Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
Last week, the second graders practiced: For example: 243
Expanded form: 200 + 40 + 3 = 243
Number word form: two hundred forty-three
Place value: 2 hundreds, 4 tens, and 3 ones
Students extended their understanding of the base-ten system by viewing 10 tens as forming a new unit called a hundred. They will continue to work with base-ten blocks to help them visually see place value.
Students will be using number lines and hundreds charts, words, and pictures to represent a number.
Number patterns:
Example: Complete the number pattern.
728, 628, ___, ___, 328
Answer: The students will compare 728 to 628 by subtracting the two numbers to get a difference of 100. The result indicates that you will subtract 100 from the number to complete the number pattern. They can use skip counting by 100's to complete the calculation. The answer to the number pattern is:
728, 628, 528, 428, 328
Place value determines which numbers are larger or smaller than other numbers.
Example:
276 465 367 557 475 556
Using the numbers above, list the numbers in order from least to greatest.
Answer: 276, 367, 465, 475, 556, 557
Students will practice their skills with counting. They will look at each digit starting with the hundreds column, tens column, and then the ones column to determine the smallest number and move up to the largest number.
be similar to the quiz.
Reading: The second graders have been reading wonderful literature during our reading workshop. They have been reading to self, buddy reading, teacher read, and guided reading with the teacher. The students retold stories by using first, next, and finally as sequential steps. Next week, they will create interrogative, declarative, and exclamatory sentences.
Writing: Our second grade writers are having fun writing about their personal moments with narrative writings with their “magical” pens. Instead of writing just the “bare bones,” they are creating stories that entice the reader. Next week, there will be more writing, sharing and conferencing.
SS2G1.a - Locate all the geographic regions of Georgia: Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, Coastal Plain, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau.
SS2G1.b - Locate the major rivers: Ocmulgee, Oconee, Altamaha, Savannah, St. Mary’s, Chattahoochee, and Flint.
Before There Was A Georgia- this is a three week unit. We are on week 2.
The focus of this unit is the major topographical features of Georgia. Students will be connected to the vocabulary-landform, region, coast, mountains, rivers, hills and valleys.
Georgia has five main regions (Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Appalachian Plateau, Valley and Ridge, and Blue Ridge Mountains). Students will create flipbooks with definitions and pictures of each landform.
Locate all the geographic regions of Georgia on a map: Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, Coastal Plain, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau. Students will color the regions on their own maps.
Locate the major rivers: Ocmulgee, Oconee, Altamaha, Savannah, St. Mary’s, Chattahoochee, and Flint. The second graders will be able to find the rivers and cities on the map of Georgia.
Students will mold clay to make an example of each type of landform-Mountain, Plateau, River, Coastal Plain, Valley, and Ridge..
