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.
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 measure and compare lengths using centimeters and meters.
In this lesson, students measure an item twice using different length units and compare; relate measurement to unit size.
For this assessment, students measure objects around the classroom in inches, then in feet. Students write to explain why measuring in inches is different than measuring in feet.
For this assessment, students measure objects at their desks in centimeters, then in inches. Students write to explain why measuring in centimeters is different from measuring in inches.
Who really cares about precise measurement anyway? Students will read a current article about international disagreements about measurement. Then students will find a record of the longest or shortest of something. They can share this information with classmates on a poster, bulletin board, or in a booklet. They may want to identify the location of this record on a world map as well. Students should give the length measurement in both customary and metric units and be able to discuss the relationship between the units. 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 activity, students will engage with a variaty of resources to practice and assess their understanding of measurement standards.
For this assessment, students measure the length of their desk using a ruler and write to tell how long their desk is in inches. Measuring the desk a second time, students write how long their desk is in centimeters. Lastly, students write to explain whether there were more inches or more centimeters and why.
In this assessment task, students use a ruler to measure their desk in inches then in centimeters.
This 2 unit of measurement lessons explores length in US customary units through 12 hands-on activities and 2 worksheets.
Students choose tools to measure the length of objects and distances in the school environment. They explore the relationship between the size of the unit used and the number of units in the measure. They discuss which tools are most appropriate to the situation. They consider what is the largest length or distance in their school environment that they can measure and what is the smallest object or distance they can measure in their school environment. They may need to problem solve using the available tools. 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.
For this assessment, students measure the length of a chart paper using a ruler and write to tell how long the chart paper is in inches. Measuring the chart paper a second time, students write how long he paper is in feet. Lastly, students write to explain why the measurements are different.
In this assessment task, students measure chart paper of different sizes in inches and feet, then discuss the results
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.

Students will measure footprints to determine how much longer one is than the other using 2 different units of measure.
