    Module 3: The Secret World of Pollination

    Unit Summary: In this module, students build their research skills and science knowledge through a study of the secret world of plants and pollinators. Students will navigate informational text features and focus on learning about how plants grow and survive. Students will also study the role of insect pollinators in helping plants grow and survive.  They will write an informative piece about a specific insect pollinator and its role in the pollination process. Using their informational writing piece, students will prepare an oral presentation and create a poster to share their knowledge about a specific insect pollinator and plant.

    Unit Tasks:

    • Responding to text through selected response and short answer questions
    • Informational Writing: How Pollinators Help Plants
    • Speaking and Listening: Oral Presentations

    Eureka Math:

    Module 6: Foundations of Multiplication and Division

    Students will...…

    • use manipulatives to create equal groups
    • compose arrays from rows and columns, and to count to find the total 
    • represent and decompose arrays 
    • solve word problems involving addition of equal groups in rows and columns 

    Common Core Learning Standards:

    2.NBT.7 - Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

    2.NBT.B.8 Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900.

    2.NBT.B.9 - Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.

    2.OA.C.3 - Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.

    2.OA.C.4 - Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

    2.G.A2 - Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them.

    Module 7: Problem Solving with Length, Money, and Data 

    Students will… 

    • sort and record data 
    • draw and label graphs 
    • solve word problems related to the graph 
    • recognize the value of coins 
    • solve word problems involving the total value of coins and bills 
    • measure objects using rulers and yardsticks 
    • collect and record measurement data in a table

    Common Core Learning Standards

    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.A.1 - Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

    2.MD.A.2 - Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.

    2.MD.A.3 - Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.

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

    2.MD.B.5 - Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
