About the Math
Skills and concepts below are learning goals for this standard.
- Recall facts that add and subtract within 20.
This standard is a continuation of basic fact instruction started in first grade. Instruction in basic facts should focus on making sense, using strategies for remembering facts, and seeing relationships. Students need to understand the relationship of addition and subtraction as well as the commutative property. When students see the relationships such that 3 + 5 = 8 and that 5 + 3 = 8, they lessen the number of facts that need to be learned.
- Use mental strategies to recall a fact when a fact can't be recalled quickly.
Recalling basic facts takes time. Instant recall of the basic facts varies from child to child. Strategies, or ways of thinking about facts, are useful for recalling facts. They are more efficient than consistently drawing or using physical models. They also hope students see patterns.
The sequence of strategy instruction in grade 2 is
- Revisit strategies from grade 1 (quarter 1)
- Using Ten (facts that make a ten and have some more, eg. 9 + 5, 8 + 5, 14 - 9, etc)
- Using Doubles (facts that use the doubles strategy, eg 5 + 4, 9 - 5)
- Work with all facts (mixed review, connection and/or extension of strategies)
The use of timed tests is discouraged as a method of learning. Timed tests are only appropriate after students have indicated that they know the facts. Use of timed-assessments should not occur more than once every three to four weeks. Basic facts allow students to be accurate and efficient in computation and mental math.
Essential vocabulary for this standard includes: Doubles, Make ten, Near doubles, sum, difference, added, count-on, count-back, think addition, strategy, part, total, subtract, add, pattern, addition, and subtraction.
Progression of Standard within Grade 2
This progression informs how to develop the standard within the grade level. This progression is provided by HCPSS Elementary Mathematics.
Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 | Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 |
---|---|---|---|
|
Using Ten (Make Ten and Some More) (i.e. 8 + 5 = 13, 9 + 6 = 15) |
Using doubles (Near Doubles) (i.e. 5 + 6 = 11, 8 + 7 = 15) |

TASKS
These tasks can be used with small group or whole group instruction.
- (doubles) Students have a set of digit cards or ten sided dice. Players draw a card or roll the dice. Whatever the number is, they double it and write the equation in their journal.
- (making 10) Take a deck of playing cards and remove the face cards. The Aces become one. Play Go Fish with students however this version a pair are two cards that make ten. So if you have a 2 you would wish for an 8 to make ten.
- (making 10) Each time the teacher says a number between 0 and 10, the students will use their fingers to show how much more to make ten. Students can say and/or write the math fact.
- (using ten) Distribute double ten frames and 20 red and yellow counter to each student. Pose a problem such as I have 9 rocks and found 8 more. Have them build each number on the double ten frame. Then ask how many rocks do I have? If a student moves a counter to make ten, have them share their strategy. If no one does, talk the class through the strategy.
- (using ten) Distribute double ten frames and 20 red and yellow counter to each student. Pose a problem such as how can i figure out 15 - 8? Have students build 15 and then take 8 away. If you observe a student taking away 5 and then 3 more, highlight their strategy. If no one does, talk the class through the strategy.
- (using doubles) Distribute double ten frames and 20 red and yellow counter to each student. Pose a problem such as I have 6 stickers and Jillian gave me 7 more. Have them build each number on the double ten frame. Then ask how many stickers do I have? If a student talks about how they see 6 + 6 +1 have them share their strategy. If no one does, talk the class through the strategy.
- (using doubles) Students take a doubles flash cards and builds both numbers using using snap cubes. Discuss with the students how one tower is one taller than the other tower. In their journals, have students write the equation in their journal.
- (making 20) Beth had a pack of 20 pencils. The pencils were two different colors. Show all the combinations of pencils she could have that equal 20. Draw pictures and write equations to support your answer.
- (use of strategies) Pull out a variety of flash cards (or dominoes) from different strategies. Write the names of strategies on note cards, such as using ten and using doubles. Have students discuss each fact and sort the flash cards based on strategy.
- If you don’t know 9 + 3, how can knowing 10 + 2 help you?
- If you don’t know 9 + 8, is there a doubles fact that can help you? How?
- (use of strategies) If you don’t know the sum of 8 + 5 (or any other fact), what are some good strategies you can use to help you figure out the answer? (finger counting isn’t appropriate, looking for mental math ideas) Have students think, pair, share ideas. Write all ideas on board for class to see.
- (making 10) Meghan wants to have 10 donuts in each box. How many more donuts does she need to put in each of the following boxes? A box with 9 donuts? A box with 8 donuts? A box with 3 donuts?
- (doubling) Sherry already has 4 erasers. Now her goal is to collect 20 in all. She got 4 more on Monday and 8 on Tuesday. How many does she have in all? How many more does she need to make her goal?
- (halving) Connie and Cheryl are twins. Connie’s hair is twice the length of Cheryl’s hair. Connie has decided that she wants to cut her hair to be the same length as her sister’s. Connie’s hairdresser measured her hair and it is 16 inches long. How long will the twins’ hair be?
SLIDE-BASED TASKS
These links are HCPSS created instructional tasks. These tasks are provided in Google slides. These tasks should be used for inspiration and resources, but instruction should start with students having the opportunity to engage with the math first (often involving physical and/or visual models) followed by discussion and explicit instruction to ensure student understanding.
