Less than $5 2nd Grade Math Activities (by date, oldest first)

Students will create a book about how ten snowmen spent their day! Each page shows a way to make ten. Rhyming sentences show how different groups of snowmen do different things, but each time, all ten are together. With three differentiated versions, there is sure to be one to fit the needs of each of your students. Students can draw their own snowmen in the boxes on the pages, color in the correct number of snowmen in each box, or color in an errorless version. Students can also use manipulatives to count out snowmen instead of drawing or match the manipulative to the picture. At the bottom of each page, students will be able to write in the equation that equals ten.

Use these mats for small groups or independent practice with one or two dice. Students roll the dice, count the dots, use manipulatives to represent the number, locate the number, and practice writing the number. Print and laminate the sheet or put it in a page protector to use with a dry erase marker for repeated use.

Updated to include a version of the mats with tens frames to help "make" the numbers.

Updated a second time to include a version of the mat with an addition sign for added math skill practice.

Students will color leaves red and yellow, glue them to their tree trunks, and construct a single digit math problem using the visuals!

Get your students up and moving with this fun Hopscotch Math activity! Digital and printable version are included.

Draw a hopscotch board on the sidewalk. Toss bean bags (a folded pair of socks works too!) on to two numbers. Write the numbers in the boxes and solve the equation. Then hop to the numbers to get the bean bags and begin again!

For the digital version, type the numbers into the text boxes.

If you do not have sidewalk chalk, they can pick two numbers from the hopscotch image included on the worksheets. Alternatively, they can use a pack of playing cards (numbers only) to draw numbers.

Use this poster to help your students learn how to identify if a word problem is calling for addition or subtraction. Print the chart as a poster to use as an interactive anchor chart with the large size word, or print as an independent worksheet with the smaller words. Use with my Word Problem task cards to expand the lesson and see their new skills in action by letting them sort the task cards! Clip art from Busy Bee Studio.

Based on ability level, students can use the single tens frame and the number cards to represent a given number using manipulatives. Students who are ready for more of a challenge can roll dice to create an addition problem and use the tens frames to represent and solve the addition problem using manipulatives.

A fun way to practice double digit addition without regrouping. Print out the window sheets and glue them into a file folder. I laminated the whole folder. Then print and laminate, and cut apart the flower vases. Add velcro to the windows and vases and allow students to match their answers by placing a flower vase on the window sill.

Students will build number sense and practice identifying place value with this set of task cards with four digit numbers.

Cards include four digit numbers written in standard form, expanded form, word form, and represented with base ten block clip art.

Directions and ideas for differentiation are included.

Can be combined with my two and three digit cards.

Updated to include word form!

Students can use these cards to match two and three-digit numbers with their base ten block representations and their expanded form. Use the cards individually to create even more activities. For example, give students the three digit number card and have them build the number using actual base ten blocks. You can also give the students the clip art cards and have them write the three digit numbers or the numbers in expanded form. The possibilities are endless and easily differentiated for every learner.

Enhance your digital educational experience with our interactive PowerPoint resource featuring a dynamic 120 chart complemented by colorful stickers. This engaging activity is designed to foster number comprehension in students.

Encourage active learning as students place stickers over the numbers and then challenge them to uncover the hidden numerical values. This exercise not only reinforces number recognition but also cultivates problem-solving skills.

In addition to number proficiency, this resource doubles as a fun tool for honing color recognition. The diverse range of sticker colors will provide an extra layer of cognitive development as students identify and match the colors to their corresponding numbers.

In addition to the previously mentioned benefits, here's an additional tip: make sure to keep several copies of the blank 120 chart slide. This way, once you've finished the exercise with your students, you won't need to reposition the stickers. Simply delete the used slide and proceed with one of the blank ones. This will save you time and streamline preparation for future learning sessions, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted experience for your students.

Unlock an immersive educational journey that not only sharpens mathematical skills but also fosters a keen eye for colors.

Shapes are all around us, and we can even make shapes with our bodies.

For years I’ve taught this class to toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. It’s perfect for early childhood or group where big kids support younger kids. If you have mixed ages, or are working with first or second graders, you can make it interesting by focusing on the number of sides in a shape and placing the poses in order based on the number of sides in the shape.

Remember to have fun, allow for mistakes, review the shapes and poses in a light hearted way, and make the children feel like shapes, math, and yoga are their friends.

Let’s Make Shapes! is a 6-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.

This activity packet includes:

• Shapes Yoga poster
• Detailed instruction for the yoga poses, written for kids
• Worksheet related to shapes

Are your students having difficulty learning and identifying coins and their values? Mine were, so I worked to develop this interactive notebook and PowerPoint slides & I am thrilled with their progress!

The materials in this packet are developed to use in conjunction with one another. Use the powerpoint to introduce coins, then use the notebook to provide practice with each concept. I have also included a parent letter and a 2 page assessment to provide you with valuable pre/post learning data.

Notebook - The notebook is in black and white. Students are encouraged to color pages to reinforce the colors of coins and make the book more "theirs". Most pages require students to make interactive activities with simple cuts & paste directions. Pages that require more directions (accordion counting, and pocket with flap), are towards the end of the book.

The notebook features practice in the following areas for identification and use of the penny, nickel, dime and quarter:

•Sorting – Color and sort coins into a jar

•Identification – Identify front, back, value, and information about the penny, nickel, dime and quarter.

•Counting by 1’s, 5’s, 10’s, 25’s: 2 activities! Students will identify how much & use coins to make requested amount

•Accordion counting support

•Comparison – Flippable pages show how much $1 is in penny, nickel, dime & quarter

•Making purchases with coins – Select the item to purchase and place in pocket.

PowerPoint

•Look at and discuss what coins look like & their value

•Interactive slides – practice counting coins, coin comparison & making purchases
