It is the language and logic of our technological world. Mathematical power is the ability to explore, to conjecture, to reason logically and to use a variety of mathematical methods effectively to solve problems. Demonstrate automaticity with =/- 0, =/- 1, doubles, and sumequals-ten facts, and profi ciency with all addition and subtraction facts through Solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of 2-digit whole numbers; describe the strategies used; calculate and compare values of coin and bill combinations. Make reasonable estimates for whole number addition and subtraction problems; explain how the estimates were obtained. Identify and describe change, comparison, and parts-and-total situations; use repeated addition, arrays and skip counting to model multiplication; use equal sharing and equal grouping to model division. Data and Chance Collect and organize data or use given data to create tally charts, tables, bar graphs and line plots. Use graphs to ask and answer simple questions and draw conclusions; fi nd the maximum, minimum, mode and median of a data set. Describe events using certain, likely, unlikely, impossible and other basic probability terms; explain the choice of language. Measurement and Reference Frames Estimate length with and without tools - measure length to the nearest inch and centimeter; use standard and non-standard tools to measure and estimate weight. Count unit squares to fi nd the areas of rectangles. Describe relationship between days in a week and hours in a day. Make exchanges between coins and bills. Read temperature on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. Tell and show time to the nearest fi ve minutes on an analog clock; tell and write time in digital notation. Geometry Draw line segments and identify parallel lines. Identify, describe, and model plane and solid fi gures including circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, hexagons, trapezoids, rhombuses, spheres, cylinders, rectangular prisms, pyramids, cones and cubes. Create and complete two-dimensional symmetric shapes or designs. Patterns, Functions and Algebra Extend, describe, and create numeric, visual, and concrete patterns; describe rules for patterns and use them to solve problems; use words and symbols to describe and write rules for functions involving addition and subtraction and use those rules to solve problems. Read, write, and explain expressions and number sentences using the symbols +, -, =, > and <; solve number sentences involving addition and subtraction; write expressions and number sentences to model number stories. Describe the Commutative and Associative Properties of Addition and apply them to mental arithmetic problems.

4 Science Science is a way of making sense of the natural world. As citizens, we are asked to make decisions about social issues that involve science and technology. As workers, we have occupations that increasingly involve science and technology. It is important that students come to understand that science is an evidence-based process, as well as learning the main ideas of science. In science, inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observation. Inquiry includes an analysis and presentation of fi ndings that lead to future questions, research, and investigations. Refl ecting on knowledge is the application of scientifi c knowledge to new and different situations. Refl ecting on knowledge requires careful analysis of evidence that guides decision-making and the application of science throughout history and within society. Plants Life Requirements - Plants have basic needs. Plants need air, water, and food. Plants also require light. Plants use food as a source of energy and as a source of building material for growth and repair. Life Cycles - Plants have life cycles. Plants begin life and develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms. (Example: the life cycle of familiar fl owering plants includes the following stages: seed, plant, fl ower, and fruit.) Observable Characteristics - Plants share many, but not all, characteristics of their parents. For example, characteristics of plants such as leaf shape, fl ower type, color, size are passed on from parents to young Who Is Responsible for Our Land? Surface Changes - The surface of Earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Landforms include mountains, plains, plateaus, valleys, hills. (Taught in Social Studies) Water - Water is a natural resource and is found under the ground, on the surface of the Earth, and in the sky. It exists in three states (liquid, solid, gas) and can go back and forth from one form to another. People use water sources (wells, springs, lakes, rivers, oceans) in a variety of ways. (drinking, cleaning, food preparation) Water Movement - Water moves in predictable patterns. Properties of Matter States of Matter - Matter exists in several different states: solids, liquids and gases. Each state of matter has unique physical properties. Gases are easily compressed but liquids and solids do not compress easily. Solids have their own particular shapes, but liquids and gases take the shape of the container. Material Composition - Some objects are composed of a single substance, while other objects are composed of more than one substance. Sun, Moon, Earth Characteristics of Objects in the Sky - Common objects in the sky (sun, moon) have observable characteristics. (Examples of characteristics of the sun, moon and Earth, include relative distances and abilities to support life.) Patterns of Objects in the Sky - Common objects in the sky have predictable patterns of movement (day, night, month, season, year).

5 Social Studies Social Studies is the integrated study of the social sciences to prepare young people to become responsible citizens. Responsible citizens display social understanding and civic effi cacy. Social understanding includes knowledge of the human condition, how it has changed over time, the variations that occur in different physical environments and cultural settings, and the emerging trends that appear likely to shape the future in an interdependent world. Civic effi cacy is the readiness and willingness to assume responsibilities of citizenship, knowing how, when, and where to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good in a democratic society. GRADES K-8 SOCIAL STUDIES CONTENT EXPECTATIONS, MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Communities The second grade social studies curriculum addresses concepts in geography, history, government, and economy through the lens of the local community. Students examine what is a community, how citizens live and work together in community, how communities change over time, and the role of citizens in a community. Using historical thinking, students create timelines of key events from their community s past, explore changes over time, and investigate how descriptions of common events can differ. Students draw upon prior knowledge of spatial awareness, physical and human systems, and human-environment interaction from earlier grades to create more complex understandings and apply these concepts to the local community. They begin to understand how people, goods, and services move within the community. Students are also introduced to local government and its functions. By exploring the role local businesses in the community, students learn how people cannot produce everything they want and depend on trade to meet those wants. Through an examination of local public issues, students practice public discourse and decision-making around community issues. Students also examine the environmental history of the Rouge Watershed and the impact citizens have had both positive and negative on the local environment. This unit integrates social studies, language arts and science and explores the role an active citizen can and should take in their own community.
