Students are confronted with a scenario of a student who is texting and driving in the school parking lot and they are tasked to determine the effect of various parameters to see if a student will collide with a pedestrian. Students must begin by breaking the scenario down into more manageable parts to determine what must be studied about the situation. Through a series of labs and activities, students learn how to model and predict situations with constant velocity and acceleration. Then, coding a spreadsheet, students model the complex situation of a texting driver, reacting, and braking during a potentially hazardous situation to create an evidence-based argument.

I hope this will help teachers organize daily lessons for students if school closure happen. 

Students are often given collaborative learning assignments, but they need to be explicitly taught how to participate in collaborative groups. This lesson uses explicit teaching and a read aloud (Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester Laminack) to instruct students in HOW to work in a group.

In this lesson, students use what they read to analyze the character in the story.

In this lesson, students create thought bubbles for either the brother or the sister from Patricia Polacco's story, "My Rotten, Red-Headed, Older Brother".

Students will construct an animal catching machine using found materials.  You may want to reread the book in order to help students get ideas!

Can you create a robot or device that can communicate an answer to your partner? Students code a robot to communicate the answer to comparing two three-digit or two two-digit numbers to their partner. Students will need to complete a key to determine how they’re representing greater than, less than, and equal to.

This game will give students an opportunity
to review two-digit addition.

Students will either work with a partner or indpendently to go to different desks where a new math problem will be solved. They will record answers on the provided answer sheet, or can just number their paper in a notebook and write problems and answers by the correct number.

This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for 2nd Grade Math in Geometry.

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of selected math standards. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards through examples and illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard, although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.
