In this lesson students engineer ramps and race monster trucks. Students estimate and measure distances traveled and then organize and visually represent this data in a graph.
Children create top hats out of paper by reading or listening to directions that use simple terms from geometry. After making the hat, they measure their heights with and without the hat, and then take a picture wearing the hat.
This lesson accompanies the North Carolina children's book, "My NC from A to Z" which celebrates pride of place, and creates connections to North Carolina's rich African American heritage. In this lesson, students solve a problem by creating a chair according to specific measurable attributes with at least three to five elements that are similar to the designs of Thomas Day.

This 2 unit of number and operations lessons explores more multi-digit addition and subtraction equations through 7 hands-on activities and 9 worksheets.
After a brief history of plastics, students look more closely as some examples from the abundant types of plastics found in our day-to-day lives. They are introduced to the mechanical properties of plastics, including their stress-strain relationships, which determine their suitability for different industrial and product applications. These physical properties enable plastics to be fabricated into a wide range of products. Students learn about the different roles that plastics play in our lives, Young's modulus, and the effects that plastics have on our environment. Then students act as industrial engineers, conducting tests to compare different plastics and performing a cost-benefit analysis to determine which are the most cost-effective for a given application, based on their costs and measured physical properties.
Lesson plan where students are asked to consider how to draw a perfect circle, and learn to do so using a line segment called a radius. They also learn to fold a circle in two directions symmetrically to find its center. This activity is motivated by a CYBERCHASE episode in which the CyberSquad set out to rescue a magic ring from Hacker and deposit it in a safe place.
Lesson plan using a Cyberchase activity, students become more familiar and proficient at metric unit measurement by examining measurement and predictions concerning indoor tracks (200 m) and outdoor tracks (400 m). This CYBERCHASE activity is motivated by a Cyberchase For Real segment in which Bianca competes in her first track meet, but is not convinced that the staggered distances of the lanes on the indoor track are all the same distance.
This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for 2nd Grade Math.
Students will measure footprints to determine how much longer one is than the other using 2 different units of measure.
This lesson is a duel standard math lesson combining 2nd grade knowledge of shapes as well as measurement.
Students will find a certain amount of shapes and then will place them together to measure them using standard measurement tools such as a ruler or centimeter measuring tool.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson the students are introduced to measuring length with standard units as they attempt to create a bed for a queen. They will also measure the length of an object in both inches and centimeters.
This lesson is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students use a measuring tape to measure, record, and compare the lengths of their arm spans. Remix this lesson to include pictures of students in action!
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.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 6 standards.
The Family Letters are intended to be sent home at the beginning and middle of the cluster. They explain big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Family Letters.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Math games are fun, motivating, and provide opportunities for students to build number concepts, reasoning, and fluency. These games may be used as math stations or as whole group learning opportunities. This file contains directions and materials for Cluster 6 math games
The intended purpose of this document is to provide teachers with a tool to determine student understanding and suggest instructional moves that may help guide a student forward in their learning. It is not an exhaustive list of strategies.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Students need distributed practice of newly-learned skills to develop fluency, build proficiency, and deepen understanding. This file contains directions for activities which may be used as Cluster 6 games or math stations.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.During this lesson, students develop an understanding of the importance of measuring with standard units. Students create rulers by taping together twelve 1 inch square tiles and then using them to measure objects around the room. Finally, they create a paper ruler to save and use in the future.
