80% proficiency or higher for objectives covered in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nine weeks.
By the end of the year, 80% proficiency or higher for all objectives to meet promotion standards.

22. Math Standards Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
Measurement and Data
Geometry

23. Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Demonstrate fluency with addition and subtraction, within 20, using mental strategies.
Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
Odd and Even

24. Determine whether a group of objects, within 20, has an odd or even number of members by:
Pairing objects, then counting them by 2s.
Determining whether objects can be placed into two equal groups.
Writing an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends

25. Explain Your Reasoning
Children must be able to explain how they solved any problem using words, pictures, or numbers.
Use math vocabulary.
(equation, partitioning, sum, difference, addends)
SHOW YOUR WORK!

26. Numbers and Operations in Base ten
Place Value: Understanding that every number has a place and a value depending on place.
Skip Counting (5, 10, 100)
Ten more, Ten less, One hundred more, One hundred less (mentally)
Read and Write Numbers
Compare numbers (>, <, = )

27. Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies rooted in base ten.
Flexibly using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Comparing addition and subtraction strategies, and explaining why they work.
Selecting an appropriate strategy in order to efficiently compute sums and differences. The standard algorithm of carrying or borrowing is neither an expectation nor a focus in Second Grade. Students develop strategies for addition and subtraction in Grades K-3.
Add and subtract within 1,000. Not until the 3rd nine weeks. Still no algorithm

28. Measurement and Data Selecting and using appropriate tools.
(rulers, yard sticks, meter sticks, measuring tapes)
Measure an object with two different units and compare and discuss.
Estimate lengths using inches, feet, yards.
Compare the length of different objects with the same unit.
Solve word problems involving measurement.

29. Time and Money AM and PM Analog and Digital
Reading time to the nearest five minutes. (using terms such as quarter to, quarter past, half past, etc.)
Solving word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.
Use the dollar and cent symbols correctly.

30. Data Picture Graph Bar Graph
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph with a single-unit scale to represent a data set.
Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a picture and a bar graph.
Bar Graph

31. Geometry Recognize and draw plane shapes.
Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, hexagons, rectangular prisms and cubes.
Partition circles and rectangles into 2, 3, or 4 equal shares (fractions).
Describe the whole as 2/2, 3/3, 4/4.
