How to Use This Pack

Ten lesson plans, one for each lesson of a 2nd grade unit on counting, comparing and ordering numbers to 1,000, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the ten lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, makers, tools and quiz for the lesson.

In the Classroom

Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 45 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching, 10 minutes together, 15 minutes of practice and an exit ticket at the end. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons. Lessons 3.4, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 are for the states that teach them in 2nd grade.

At Home

Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. A tape measure or a long strip of paper marked by tens makes a good number line.

Tips for Success

Read the "Watch for" box before the lesson: it is what to listen for while students work
Keep a number line from 0 to 1,000 on the wall for the whole unit
Ask "what does each mark count by?" before reading any number line
Sort the exit tickets into got it, almost and not yet to plan the next day

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

1.OA.C.5 Connect counting with adding and subtracting, such as adding 4 by counting on four more.
2.OA.C.3 Decide if up to 20 objects are odd or even (match them in twos or skip count by 2s); write evens as doubles.
2.NBT.A.2 Count up to 1,000, and count by fives, tens and hundreds.
2.NBT.A.4 Compare three-digit numbers by looking at the value of each place, and record the result with >, = or <.
2.MD.B.6 Show whole numbers as distances from 0 on an evenly marked number line, and show sums and differences up to 100 as jumps on it.
3.OA.D.9 Spot patterns in addition tables, times tables and other arithmetic, and explain them with properties, like why multiples of 5 end in 0 or 5.
3.NBT.A.1 Use place value to decide which ten or hundred a whole number is closest to, and round to it.
