This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Materials * Sets of 3-6 "analog clock cards," enough for each student * Sets of 3-6 "digital clock cards," enough for each student * Paper and pencil A...

This is a REMIX of Shelton and Robledo's "Solar Oven Engineering". An excel document has been added to assist in data collection, record keeping, and graph generation.Students can work individually or in groups of 3 or 4 to create a solar oven out of a pizza box. Students are trying to figure out the best way to make a solar oven in order to melt the chocolate and marshmallow in the S’more. Students will be given a group of objects and tell them the basis of how to create a solar oven. The oven will need to be placed in direct sunlight for most of the day. This experiment works best on a very hot, sunny day.

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.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of am and pm.

This interactive clock manipulative reinforces students' knowledge and understanding of telling time. As students move the hour, minute, and second hands on the clock, the time is shown in digital and analog form. The manipulative can be used for solving problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals.

For this interactive, students click on the digital time shown to match the time shown on the analog clock.

For this interactive, students practice reading a clock, input times for the clock to display, or let the clock generate random times for them to read. Students choose from three difficulty levels.

For this interactive, students try to set as many clocks as they can in two minutes.

This interactive clock reinforces students' knowledge and understanding of telling time. As students move the hour and minute hands on the clock, the time is shown in digital and analog form.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of elapsed time.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about determining time changes in 5-minute intervals.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about solving for start time, end time, or elapsed time.

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.

The teacher will use the book, Lon Po Po by Ed Young. The students will learn strategies and methods on how to describe the overall structure of a story. The students will also be shown how to show respect for other cultures through the use of this book, world maps, graphic organizers and other Chinese folktales. While reading this Chinese folktale, the students will be able to explain how the artistic expressions of the culture contributes to the community through food, crafts, and stories. This lesson was developed by Lisa Bruet as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

Students will collaborate with a group of students and select a Culture Project to complete together in school.  The group will choose, design and plan and implement what the groups roles will be and what materials are needed to complete the project.  The teacher should allow the students to work on projects in school so that equal participation is taking place and can be observed. The students may select the countries in the folktale unit to research or one of their own as long as the project goals are met and agreed upon by all members in the group.This lesson was developed by Lisa Bruet as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.

In this lesson, students will use the times that they recorded in the previous lesson "What Time Is It?" to find the time difference between two cities. Students may use strategies to find elapsed time such as subtraction, a number line, or an analog clock to help them find the time difference. This lesson is designed for use in the AIG (academically and intellectually gifted) classroom; students are pulled out of their regular classroom twice a week for enrichment instruction in their area of giftedness. This lesson was developed by Meredith Ewbank as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.
