Operations and Algebraic Thinking
- 2.PAFR.1.8
Sort a collection of 20 or fewer objects into two groups to determine if the number of objects is even or odd.
- 2.PAFR.1.3
Solve one-step add-to, take-from, part-part-whole, and additive comparison real-world situations through 99 with the unknown in any position.
- 2.PAFR.1.5
Add and subtract number combinations flexibly and accurately within 20.
- 2.PAFR.2.1
Describe, extend, and create a growing shape pattern with up to three terms within a sequence.
- 2.PAFR.1.7
Determine the unknown number in addition and subtraction equations within 20, with the unknown in any position.
- 2.PAFR.1.2
Determine and explain if an equation (within 20) is true using a variety of equation formats.
- 2.PAFR.1.6
Apply the Associative Property of Addition to find the sum (through 20) of three addends and explain that the value can be found using various grouping strategies.
- 2.PAFR.1.9
Find the total number of objects arranged in equal groups or in a rectangular array and write an addition equation to express the total as a sum (up to 25) of equal addends.
- 2.PAFR.2.2
Create, describe, and extend an appropriate one-step rule for number patterns using addition and subtraction within 100.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
- 2.PAFR.1.4
For any number from 0 to 99, find the number that makes 100 when added to the given number.
- 2.PAFR.1.1
Use a strategy to accurately find sums and differences of two-digit numbers within 100 and justify the sum or difference.
- 2.NR.1.4
Apply place value reasoning to identify the number that is 10 more, 10 less, 100 more, and 100 less than a given three-digit number through 999.
- 2.NR.3.2
When given a two-digit number, identify which multiple of 10 the number is closest to.
- 2.NR.3.1
Compare representations of whole numbers up to 999 and write a comparison statement using words and symbols.
- 2.NR.1.3
Compose and decompose whole numbers from 1 through 999 in more than one way using hundreds, tens, and ones. Explain and demonstrate each composition or decomposition with the use of concrete models, drawings, and equations.
- 2.NR.1.2
Represent and explain that whole numbers 1 through 999 are organized into groups of hundreds, tens, and ones, and a digit has a different value depending on its placement.
- 2.NR.2.1
Count forward and backward by ones, tens, and hundreds from any number within 999 and identify patterns in the sequence.
- 2.NR.1.1
Read, write, and represent numbers up to 999 using concrete models, drawings, standard form, base ten language, and equations in expanded form.
Measurement and Data
- 2.MGSR.1.1
Select and use appropriate tools to estimate and measure length of an object or distance to the nearest customary unit.
- 2.MGSR.1.2
Use analog and digital clocks to tell and record time in five-minute intervals, identifying AM and PM.
- 2.DPSR.1.1
Create a survey question and collect data with up to four categories. Create tally charts, picture graphs, dot plots, and bar graphs with a single-unit scale to read the graph, answer questions, and draw conclusions.
- 2.MGSR.1.3
Determine the value of mixed sets of coins or bills in mathematical and real-world situations and record the value using a ¢ or symbol.
Geometry
- 2.MGSR.2.3
Classify two-dimensional shapes as triangles or quadrilaterals and justify each classification.
- 2.NR.4.2
Explain that when partitioning a square, rectangle, or circle into two or four equal parts, the parts become smaller as the number of parts increases.
- 2.MGSR.2.2
Classify shapes as polygons or non-polygons and defend that determination based on their attributes.
- 2.MGSR.2.1
Identify and describe a given shape in everyday situations to include two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional shapes.
- 2.NR.4.1
Partition in multiple ways squares, rectangles, and circles into two or four equal sized parts, and describe the parts using the words halves, fourths, a half of, and a fourth of (not quarters).
