2nd Grade Math Lessons
Attributes of Geometric Shapes
Lesson 1: Describe two-dimensional shapes based on attributes.
Lesson 2: Build, identify, and analyze two-dimensional shapes with specified attributes.
Lesson 3: Use attributes to draw different polygons including triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons.
Lesson 4: Use attributes to identify and draw different quadrilaterals including rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, and trapezoids.
Lesson 5: Classify and sort three-dimensional shapes by their attributes.
Composite Shapes and Fraction Concepts
Lesson 6: Combine shapes to create a composite shape; create a new shape from composite shapes.
Lessons 7–8: Interpret equal shares in composite shapes as halves, thirds, and fourths.
Fractions of Circles and Rectangles
Lessons 9: Partition circles and rectangles into equal parts, and describe those parts as halves, thirds, or fourths.
Lesson 10: Partition circles and rectangles into equal parts, and describe those parts as halves, fourths, and eighths.
Lesson 11: Use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole.
Application of Fractions to Tell Time
Lesson 12: Construct a paper clock by partitioning a circle into halves and quarters, and tell time to the half hour or quarter hour.
Lesson 13: Tell time to the nearest five minutes.
Lesson 14: Tell time to the nearest five minutes; relate a.m. and p.m. to time of day.
Lesson 15: Relate skip counting by fives on the clock and telling time to a continuous measurement model, the number line.
Lesson 16: Count by fives and ones on the number line as a strategy to tell time to the nearest minute on the clock.
