In order to address second grade math standards, our school will be using the Everyday Mathematics Program. This program places emphasis on problem solving in everyday situations. The structure of each lesson allows for previous skills and concepts to be revisited to ensure long-term learning. We will be playing lots of hands on games to reinforce the concepts being taught in class. Every Friday our math block will consist of "Game Day", where students will rotate through centers to play the games related to the concepts that were covered throughout the week as well as, previous lessons. A multitude of these skills will also be applied to our Micro period with the launch of our ventures and currency.
In second grade we will be focusing on the procedures, concepts, and applications for the following areas:
* Understanding addition and subtraction strategies to solve within 1,000
*Understanding basic fractions
*Understanding data and graphing
*Understanding problem solving strategies
*Understanding time
*Understanding measurement
