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

Skip Count by 3s

Have a student start on zero. Then, have them point out the pattern that the red boxes with the feet follow. Explain to them that these boxes are showing the multiples of three. Whisper Loud: To begin learning multiples of three, start with the whisper loud technique to have students jump down the mat. Have students follow this pattern: Jump on the one. Whisper, “one.” Jump on the two. Whisper, “two.” Jump on the three. Shout, “THREE!” Jump on the four. Whisper, “four.” Jump on the five. Whisper, “five.” Jump on the six. Shout, “SIX!” Continue with this pattern down the mat to thirty. Skip Counting: Once they are more comfortable with the multiples of three, you can have students skip count down the mat, only jumping on the red boxes. Make sure they are saying the number confidently and correctly when they land on each multiple. If their jumps get ahead of the numbers, have them start again.

Clipboard Math

Skip Counting by 2s

For enjoyable math practice, clip an addition and/or subtraction within 20 (Grade 1)
or a multiplication and/or division by 2s worksheet on a clipboard (Grade 3).
Have your students figure out the answers to the math problems by using the mat.

Bean Bag Baseball Game

Divide your class into teams (the number of teams and the number of students on each team will depend on how many students you have). Place a bucket/basket at the end of the floor mat after 20.

Have one team line up in a single file line behind zero. The other team will wait off to the side of the mat until it is their turn “at bat.” The goal of the bean bag game is to get the most bean bags into the bucket before all of the rounds/innings are over. You can determine how many rounds you play.

Give the first player a multiplication by two question. Have them hop to their answer and make sure they are correct. If the answer is correct, they will try to toss their bean bag into the bucket at the end of the floor mat. If they are incorrect, they get a ‘strike’ and do not get to toss their bean bag. Repeat with the next student in line. You can decide how many ‘strikes’ each team gets before switching to the next team.

Division

Give a student a division by twos problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.).
Example: 14 ÷ 2
The student will begin on the first number of the problem, 14. Then, they will jump back to zero on the multiples of 2. How many hops did it take to get back to zero? 7!

Multiplication

Skip Counting by 2s

Give a student a multiplication by twos problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.).
Example: 2 x 6
The student will begin on 0. They will jump forward 6 times, only landing on the multiples of 6. When they land on the sixth number, 12, they will say, “2 x 6 = 12.”

You can also have students practice each multiplication fact as they hop down the mat:
Jump on 2. Say, “2 x 1 = 2.” Jump on 4. Say, “2 x 2 = 4,” etc.

Skip Count by 2s

Skip Counting by 2s

Have a student start on zero. Then, have them point out the pattern that the blue boxes with the feet follow. Explain to them that these boxes are showing the multiples of two.

Whisper Loud: To begin learning multiples of two, start with the whisper loud technique to have students jump down the mat. Have students follow this pattern: Jump on the one. Whisper, “one.” Jump on the two. Shout, “TWO!” Jump on the three. Whisper, “three.” Jump on the four. Shout, “FOUR!” Continue with this pattern down the mat to twenty.

Skip Counting: Once they are more comfortable with the multiples of two, you can have students skip count down the mat, only jumping on the blue boxes. Make sure they are saying the number confidently and correctly when they land on each multiple. If their jumps get ahead of the numbers, have them start again.

Buddies

Skip Counting by 2s

Have your students notice that all of the numbers have corresponding dots. This is intended for students to learn the values of the numbers. Notice that the number two has two dots. These two dots are buddies. Two is an even number! The number three has three dots. Two of the dots are buddies, but there is one left over! Odd numbers have one left over. Three is an odd number.

Adding and Subtracting Numbers

Write addition and subtraction problems on cards and use the mat as a number line. If the math problem says 8 + 3, the student will stand on the eight and take three steps forward to eleven. Make sure the students say the numbers they are on as they move through the mat. For subtraction problems, have students walk backward.

Jump and Trace the Numbers

Have your student jump on the one and say “one.” Then, have them crouch down and trace the number one with two fingers and say, “o-n-e, one.” Then, have them count the one dot on the mat by touching the dot and counting out loud. Next, have your student jump on the two and say “two.” Then, have them crouch down and trace the number two with two fingers and say “t-w-o, two.” Then, have them count the two dots on the mat by touching each dot and counting each one out loud. Continue for each number to twenty.

Matching Numbers

Have your students match up the numerals with the same number of objects. Place one object on number one. Place two objects on number two. Choose two of the same thing—like two shoes, two books, or two toy cars. Place three objects on number three. Consider choosing three mittens, rocks, or spoons. Continue placing objects on the numbers! For bigger numbers like ten, try ten pennies, paper clips, or acorns.
(If real objects are not available, try printing out images of common objects instead!)
