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

Bean Bag Addition and Subtraction

Have a student toss two bean bags onto the mat. Then, have the student add or subtract the numbers. To make this activity easier, make sure they toss the bean bags in the same column (only thirds or only fourths). To make this activity more difficult, have them toss one bean bag on the thirds column and one on the fourths column and find the common denominator to solve. Have them write their answer both as a fraction greater than one and a mixed number. Using small whiteboards or paper on a clipboard is a great way to have students solve their problems while interacting with the floor mat.

Equivalent Fraction Hop

Have a student select a fraction and stand on it. Then, have the student hop on all of its equivalent fractions. The activity should go on until the student has reached all fractions equivalent to the one on which they started. Then, have them select another fraction or have the next student take a turn.

Students might not realize right away that the colors/shades correspond with equivalent fractions. If they do not pick up on it, ask them to look closer at the colors on the mat and see if they can find the pattern.

Bean Bag Decides

Throw a bean bag on the Fraction Walk Floor Mat. Move to the bean bag, alternating between one and two-footed movements. Pick up the bean bag and say all of the equivalent fractions underneath where the bean bag landed.

Hopscotch the Numbers

Have your student start on START HERE. Have the student say “one third” while hopping with one foot in the 1/3 box. Then have the student jump (two feet) on the 2/3, clap and say, “two thirds.” Continue alternating between one foot and two-footed movements to the end of the mat. Repeat activity for fourths. Be sure that your student says the fractions correctly. Tell your student the fractions if your student doesn’t know them.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

On index cards, write +1/3, +2/3, etc. Have your student select a number on the mat to stand on. Have your student select a card from a large hat or box. Have the student walk on the mat as they add or subtract depending on the card they drew. If working with fourths, have different index cards that add or subtract fourths.

Fractions Greater Than One and the Pictures

Notice that this floor mat has pictures that represent the whole and fraction parts of each number. The fraction 7/3 has two squares filled in with black and one of the third square filled in with black. Have your students use the shaded squares to help their comprehension of mixed fractions.

Fractions Greater Than One

This floor mat offers a visual opportunity for students to understand the relationships between fractions greater than one and mixed numbers. For example, to have your student figure out the mixed number equivalent to 7/3, ask your student, “How many whole numbers are in 7/3?”

Have your student step on 7/3. Ask how many whole numbers that they can see on the mat before 7/3? Ask how many fraction pieces are left over. Have your student count the thirds after the whole number two up to 7/3. Your student will be able to count “one third” Then your student will see that the improper fraction 7/3 is the same as two and 1/2.

Give different numbers for the fourths section to help students understand the other side of the mat.

The Fraction Walk

How many thirds in 5?

Have your student count how many thirds are in five by stepping on each third while counting their steps from one to ten. If your student’s counting is out of sync with his/her steps, have them go back and start over.

Have students do this for fourths as well.

Matching

Write all of the percentages/fractions/decimals from the mat on note cards. Cover up all of the examples of one type of number, such as all of the percentages, all of the decimals, or all of the fractions on the mat. Have students take turns matching a notecard to its place on the mat.

Equivalence

Cover up all of the examples of one type of number, such as all of the percentages, all of the decimals, or all of the fractions on each block of the mat. Have students figure out what each would be based on the other information given on the block. For example, for the ⅓ block, cover the decimal and ask the students what the equivalent decimal would be to one third.
