• Use the My Giving Back Rock sheet to plan & design your own rock. Do the writing on the bottom of the sheet. Be sure to colour your rock and design too!
• OPTIONAL extension is to actually find, paint and put a real Giving Back Rock somewhere in the community. If you aren’t able to do this extension, please write where you would put it, if you could.

ASSIGNMENT #2 – MATH Email to me

Grade 2 students will begin a unit on using Mental Math strategies to solve addition and subtraction equations.

Today’s lesson is about the number facts that make 10. Memorizing your facts to 10 is very helpful for easily solving +/-equations with larger numbers as you can group the 10 first then solve the rest of the equation. This is a good time to practice and review your number facts!

Making 10 Worksheet 1 and Making 10s Worksheet 2

Grade 3 students will begin a unit on Multiplication and Division today. Students are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of multiplication and division and how they are related. Memorization of facts is not intended. Grade 2 students usually love to learn about multiplication as well so they are welcome, as always, to also do the Grade 2 worksheets however I won’t be evaluating their learning on this topic.

Today’s lesson is about arrays. An array is an arrangement of a certain number of rows with a number of dots in each row.

For example 2 x 3 is represented as two rows of 3 dots each.
