This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 2nd Grade Math content.

This resource accompanies our Rethink 1st Grade Math Measurement & Data unit. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

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

Students will create a musical pipe using straws of different lengths. They will create their own tune.

In this activity students will measure themselves and compare measurements within one measuring system using paper strips and measuring tools. They will look at the relationships between measurements and make and test hypotheses. 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.

In this lesson, students will measure the length of an object in standard units and draw a bar graph with a single-unit scale to represent the data set collected.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about making observations about capacity (metric units).

For this task, students work in pairs to estimate the measure of each person's foot and to determine the appropriate measuring tool to use. Once a measurement tool has been chosen, students measure the foot and record the lengths.

Ck-12's Grade 2 Elementary Math is a series of videos and interactive videos designed to teach basic math concepts to 2nd graders. Concepts covered include Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication, Place Value, Decimals, Time, Fractions, Money, Measurement, and Geometry.

In this lesson, students apply concepts to create unit rulers and measure lengths using unit rulers.

In this lesson, students measure various objects using centimeter rulers and meter sticks.

In this lesson, students develop estimation strategies by applying prior knowledge of length and using mental benchmarks.

In this lesson, students measure and compare lengths using standard metric length units and non-standard lengths units; relate measurement to unit size.

In this lesson, students measure lengths of string using measurement tools; represent length with tape diagrams to represent and compare the lengths.

In this lesson, students connect measurement with physical units by using iteration with an inch tile to measure.

In this lesson, students apply concepts to create inch rulers; measure lengths using inch rulers.

For this task, students work in pairs to plant bean plants, measure their growth and record their measurement. Students record their data on a line plot and discuss patterns in their line plot.
