This unit focuses on measurement and data for second grade. The second-graders learn how toaccurately measure natural objects using nonstandard units (unifix cubes) and standard units(inches). During field experiences, the students learned how to use field guides and how to collectdata for a BioBlitz. Students used their data to create bar graphs, picture graphs and analyzed theirdata.

Module 7 presents an opportunity for students to practice addition and subtraction strategies within 100 and problem-solving skills as they learn to work with various types of units within the contexts of length, money, and data.  Students represent categorical and measurement data using picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots.  They revisit measuring and estimating length from Module 2, though now using both metric and customary units.

This lesson, from Illuminations, gives students practice in measurement and in displaying and interpreting data through box-and-whisker plots. Students may draw the plots themselves or use the online Box Plotter tool. Learning objectives, materials, student questions, extensions, teacher reflections, and NCTM Standards alignment are provided.

This lesson emphasizes the connections between science and mathematics by using a performance, or authentic, assessment format. Students will develop measurement skills as they relate the size of their fists to the size of their hearts. Students have the opportunity to explore applications involving their own hearts. An activity sheet (pdf) is included.

In this lesson, students measure the dimensions of their own fist plus the fists of some other people who are older to approximate the size of each person's heart. Next they use construction paper to make a model of their own heart.

Students will explore estimation of length.
K student will use the non standard unit (ladybugs) to measure the length of something longer than the given unit (e.g., their workspace).
There are suggestions to vary the lesson for each grade level (K-2).

El módulo 7 presenta una oportunidad para que los estudiantes practiquen estrategias de adición y sustracción dentro de 100 y habilidades de resolución de problemas a medida que aprenden a trabajar con varios tipos de unidades dentro de los contextos de longitud, dinero y datos. Los estudiantes representan datos categóricos y de medición utilizando gráficos de imágenes, gráficos de barras y parcelas de línea. Revisan la medición y la longitud de estimación del módulo 2, aunque ahora utilizan unidades métricas y habituales.

“Square Foot Gardens: Healthy Spaces for People and Pollinators” is an interdisciplinary unit of study for twenty-four second grade students at Maple Grove Charter School. Part of a year-long science program, the unit complements the second grade EL Education English Language Arts Curriculum in which two Modules (approximately 18 weeks of literacy instruction) focus on the following guiding questions from Modules 3 & 4: “How do plants grow and survive?How do pollinators help plants grow and survive?How do we get the fruits, flowers, and vegetables that we enjoy?How do we become researchers and share our learning?Why should people help pollinators to survive?How can I take action to help pollinators?” (https://eleducation.org )
