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 learning about needs and wants and the difference between the two, students will get to budget “play money” to decide how to spend money on a budget to acquire needs and wants. Teacher may want to read books about needs and wants. Some books are listed in “Needed Resources/Materials” section. 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 word problem requires students to use addition and subtraction and think about money.

This Thinglink provides a series of brief videos addressing a) common areas of difficulty related to problem solving and b) an overview of additional and subtraction problem types.

This video has been created by NCDPI. It provides tips for integrating reading within the math block.

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

This is a blended unit based on Unit 3 of the second grade Everyday Math series.

This unit will focus on strategies for solving subtraction problems within 20.  Students will learn strategies including: counting up and back on a open number line, using their knowledge of addition/subtraction facts within 10 to solve larger problems, and using doubles facts to solve subtraction problems.  This unit builds on the last unit as students lean on their addition knowledge to help with subtraction. The big goal is for students to develop fluency with subtraction facts within 20.

This is a blended unit based on Unit 2 of the second grade Everyday Math curriculum.

In this unit students will review addition and subtraction strategies introduced in first grade as well as be introduced to new addition strategies to work towards a year-long goal of adding fluently within 100.  Students will master new addition strategies by receiving small group instruction, playing math games, and working on practice problems (both online and in their math journals.)
