Next Generation Science Standards

 

Common Core State Standards: Math

  • 2.MD.1. Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.​

  • 2.MD.4. Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit. 

 

Common Core State Standards: English Language Arts

  • SL2.1. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion).

  • SL2.1B. Build on other’s talk in conversations by linking their comments to the remarks of others.

2nd Grade: PLTW Module - Grids and Games (2016)

Computer Science Teachers Association K–12 CS Standards

  • Collaboration 1:3–2. Work cooperatively and collaboratively with peers, teachers, and others using technology.

  • Computational Thinking 1:3–1. Use technology resources (e.g., puzzles, logical thinking programs) to solve age-appropriate problems.

  • Computational Thinking 1:3–2. Use writing tools, digital cameras, and drawing tools to illustrate thoughts, ideas, and stories in a step-by-step manner.

  • Computing Practice and Programming 1:3–3 Create developmentally appropriate multimedia products with support from teachers, family members, or student partners.

  • Computational Thinking 1:3–4. Recognize that software is created to control computer operations.

  • Computing Practice and Programming 1:3–4. Construct a set of statements to be acted out to accomplish a simple task.

  • Computing Practice and Programming 1:3–5 Careers: Identify jobs that use computing and technology.

  • Computers and Communication Devices—1A.1 Computers: Use standard input and output devices to successfully operate computers and related technologies.

 

Next Generation Science Standards

  • ETS1.A Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

    • Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems.

    • Before beginning to design a solution, it is important to clearly understand the problem.

  • ETS1.B Developing Possible Solutions—Designs can be conveyed through sketches, drawings, or physical models. These representations are useful in communicating ideas from a problem’s solutions to other people.

  • ETS1.C Optimizing the Design Solution—Because there is always more than one possible solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designs.

  • Science and Engineering Practice—Asking Questions and Defining Problems—Asking questions and defining problems in K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to simple descriptive questions that can be tested.

  • Science and Engineering Practice—Use tools and/or materials to design and/or build a device that solves a specific problem or a solution to a specific problem.

  • Science and Engineering Practice—Generate and/or compare multiple solutions to a problem.

  • Science and Engineering Practice—With guidance, plan and conduct an investigation in collaboration with peers (for K).

 

Common Core State Standards: Math

  • 2.OA.B.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

  • 2.OA.C.3 Work with equal groups of objects to gain foundations for multiplication.

  • 2.NBT.B.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

  • 2.MD.B.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., and represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram.

  • 2.MD.C.7 Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.

  • 2.G.A.2 Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them.

  • 2.G.A.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
