Second Grade Math Kit

Find the activities below that correspond with the materials found in our Second Grade Math Kit. Please select the material before selecting the grade to make sure your search results only provide activities for the mats in your Second Grade Math Kit.

Material

Let’s Draw!

Have students draw a picture to demonstrate one of the equations on the mat. Place all pictures in a basket and pull one picture out at a time and show it to the class. Have a student hop on the equation and the answer that is shown in the picture. For example, a student might draw a picture of 2 flowers, and then another set of 2 flowers. This could demonstrate the equation 2 plus 2 equals 4.

Block Addition

Have a student start at the beginning of the mat with a basket of blocks. Students will sit down in front of the first equation. They will place the number of blocks that each box says. Then, students will push the blocks on the equation forward to the next box and count the total blocks, then repeat the equation. For example, students will sit in front of the first 2 boxes 1 and 1. Students will place 1 block on each of the boxes. Then they will push both blocks up to the next box and count the blocks (2). Students will then say “one plus one equals 2” Then continue on through the mat creating the equations with blocks and then combining them to make the answer.

Stomp The Equation

Students will stand at the beginning of the mat. The teacher will call out an answer to a doubles addition problem. The student will then hop through the mat and stomp on the equation that equals the answer that the teacher said. Continue with different problems for each student.

Hop Through Addition

Have students start on the ‘start here’ box. Students will jump through the mat alternating between 2 and 1 feet as they hop. Students will say aloud the addition problem as they hop. Students will also say “equals” as they hop to the next box. For example, students will hop and land with 2 feet and say “one plus one” then hop to the next box with one foot and say “equals 2” Students will then continue through the mat.

Equalizer

Have students stand in a group on one denomination on the mat (e.g. 3 on dimes) and count how much their coins are worth (30 cents).

Then have the other students stand on an equal number of cents using no dimes (e.g. one on the quarter and one on the nickel).

Challenge the other students to make the same amount using the least number of coins and the most.

Who Has More?

Give a student a few of each coin and find the total. Have another student make the same number of cents using different coins by using the mat to count each denomination.

Count the Kid Coins

Have a various number of students stand on the mat on different rows. (E.g. 2 on the penny row, 1 on the dime row, 3 on the quarter row).

Ask them to say how much money the coin on their row is worth.

Then, have each student add by the denomination they are standing on to get a total for all the students on the mat.

Then, they all shout the total. (E.g. Following the above example, “25, 50, 75, 85, 86, 87, Eighty-Seven Cents!”

Symmetry

Manipulatives Needed: Ruler or string

Have students find all lines of symmetry on the quadrilaterals on the mat by placing a ruler (or string) on each shape in different ways to see if it is divided into a mirror image.

Parallelo-what?

Have students observe which shapes have parallel lines. Which have two sets? Which have none? Discuss that shapes with two sets of parallel sides are called parallelograms.
