Students can work individually or in groups of 3 or 4 to create a solar oven out of a pizza box. Students are trying to figure out the best way to make a solar oven in order to melt the chocolate and marshmallow in the S’more. Students will be given a group of objects and tell them the basis of how to create a solar oven. The oven will need to be placed in direct sunlight for most of the day. This experiment works best on a very hot, sunny day.

The teacher will use the book, Lon Po Po by Ed Young. The students will learn strategies and methods on how to describe the overall structure of a story. The students will also be shown how to show respect for other cultures through the use of this book, world maps, graphic organizers and other Chinese folktales. While reading this Chinese folktale, the students will be able to explain how the artistic expressions of the culture contributes to the community through food, crafts, and stories. This lesson was developed by Lisa Bruet as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

Students will collaborate with a group of students and select a Culture Project to complete together in school.  The group will choose, design and plan and implement what the groups roles will be and what materials are needed to complete the project.  The teacher should allow the students to work on projects in school so that equal participation is taking place and can be observed. The students may select the countries in the folktale unit to research or one of their own as long as the project goals are met and agreed upon by all members in the group.This lesson was developed by Lisa Bruet as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.

In this lesson, students will use the times that they recorded in the previous lesson "What Time Is It?" to find the time difference between two cities. Students may use strategies to find elapsed time such as subtraction, a number line, or an analog clock to help them find the time difference. This lesson is designed for use in the AIG (academically and intellectually gifted) classroom; students are pulled out of their regular classroom twice a week for enrichment instruction in their area of giftedness. This lesson was developed by Meredith Ewbank as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

In this lesson, students will make connections between the time difference between home and another city and that city's location on the globe. Students will use these connections to rearrange the maps hung on the wall so that they are in the order that they occur around the globe. This lesson is designed for use in the AIG (academically and intellectually gifted) classroom; students are pulled out of their regular classroom twice a week for enrichment instruction in their area of giftedness. This lesson was developed by Meredith Ewbank as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.

A learning road map is a great way for students and teachers to keep track of standards they have mastered.  This road map is for grade 2 math cluster 3.  It can be printed and placed in a data notebook.  Students would then color in the circle to indicate their level of proficiency.  It could also be used digitally where students would fill in the circle with color.  Road Maps help students take ownership of their learning and help guide instruction for teachers.  This resource was developed as part of a professional learning opportunity funded by the NCDPI Digital Learning Initiative Planning Grant.

In this lesson, students construct a paper clock by partitioning a circle into halves and quarters, and tell time to the half hour or quarter hour.

In this lesson, students solve elapsed time problems involving whole hours and a half hour.

Students have the opportunity to explore the history of telling time and some historic clocks.  Then they will learn how to tell time using a Roman Numeral clock (students may encounter Roman Numeral clocks in real life).  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

This 2 unit of measurement lessons explores telling time through 2 hands-on activities and 5 worksheets.

This is the About the Cluster document written by the NC2ML group who created the instructional frameworks. This is a great resource to read while starting to plan for Second Grade Cluster 3.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders an overview of telling time to quarter and hour.

Students will label an analog clock to the nearest 5 minutes, represent time by drawing hands on the clock, and determine if the time of day is a.m. or p.m.

This file contains sample anchor charts to create with students. Anchor charts are to be made with students, then displayed as a classroom reference. Parents may also benefit from seeing anchor charts, as they provide a snapshot into the math class.

A Common Formative Assessment (CFA) provides a snapshot of current student understanding. It serves as a checkpoint, and may be used to guide future whole and small group instruction. This CFA addresses 2nd grade, Cluster 3 standards.
