The standards listed below have been replaced by a newer set of standards.

Please go to Current 2nd Grade Math Standards for current resources.

Geometry
Identify, build, draw, and compare two- and three-dimensional geometric figures. 2.3.1 a	2 and 3D shapes Activities - identify and investigate two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes 2D shapes - identify and compare these shapes Create your own pattern - drag shapes to create a pattern ( Instructions on how to use this page in your classroom ) Geo Cleo - take a look at how to describe three-dimensional shapes ) Pattern Detectives - identify and extend patterns in a variety of settings Audio is used to assist non-readers. Point Out the View - a ten level activity from PBS Kids, students must show what 2-D view each of four viewers would see when looking at a stack of blocks Polygons and Non-Polygons - drag polygons into one bin and anything that is not a polygon into another bin Solid Pattern Pieces - name the different faces of solid figures to make objects using a pattern
Describe characteristics and parts of two- and three-dimensional geometric figures. 2.3.1 b	Anglemania - ( 3-5 ) describe triangles using appropriate geometric vocabulary ( decide if this is appropriate for your second grade students ) Mr. Mumble - take a look at how to describe two-dimensional shapes
Identify shapes that have line symmetry. 2.3.1 c	Ask Hannah - Students describe symmetry in two-dimensional shapes. Line Symmetry - many activities here Lines of Symmetry - drag the shapes that have lines of symmetry into one bin and those that do not into the other bin Symmetry Lesson - and interactive quiz
Investigate and predict the results of combining and taking apart two- and three-dimensional geometric figures. 2.3.1 d	Point Out the View - a ten level activity from PBS Kids, students must show what 2-D view each of four viewers would see when looking at a stack of blocks Solid Pattern Pieces - name the different faces of solid figures to make objects using a pattern
Identify the position of a whole number on the number line. 2.3.2 a	Estimate numbers on a number line - after students make their estimate you reveal the answer and display a new problem.
Illustrate flips, slides, and turns using concrete objects and pictures. 2.3.3 a	Flipping Monsters - Can you make all the Space Monsters face to the right? You must turn two monsters at a time. They must be next to each other. Icy Flips, Slides, and Turns - Use this interactive site from Harcourt to review the three concepts. Math Manipulatives: Flips, Slides, and Turns - select a shape and then apply one of the transformations to it. Ten Question Worksheet - print for your students to practice flips, slides, and turns Transformations - Interactive sites Reflection Rotation Translation
