Good morning Grade 2/3.  I hope you are all doing well at home.  I miss you all!  I have prepared some things for ;you to work on this week.  If you take some time each day to work on these activities they will help you to complete the work for this year.  You do not have to hand anything in but if you have any questions you can contact me at bonnie.vickers @nbed.nb.ca and I will get back to you a.s.a.p..  I will be checking my e-mails daily at 1pm.

I would like to encourage you to check out Kahn Academy which has excellent teaching videos for Kids in Math.  It is free and you just click on your grade level then proceed with whichever topic you want to explore.  Grade Three should look at multiplication (equal groups).

Math (I have given examples but you can do as many as you like of your own or look on Kahn Acadamy)

Skip Counting

Begin at 14 , count forward by 2's to 48.  Do orally or written up to you. Try marching on the spot lifting one knee every time you count.

Begin at 75, count backwards by 5's to 15.

Begin at 63 , count backwards by 2's to 31

Grade 2 should work forward and backwards by 2,5,10 up to 100 

Grade 3 should work forward and backwards by 2,5,10, 100 to 1000

Adding or subtracting zero (nothing changes)

27+0=            43-0=          12+0=            55-0=

Adding/Subtracting 1 or 2 

27+2=           35+2=          12+1=          87-2=          35-1=            39+2=

Making Ten Pairs

6+4=           5+__=10           1+__=10           3+7=           10-5=           10-8=

Fact Families (two addition and two subtraction number sentences)

7+8=15          8+7=15           15-8=7          15-7=8

Your turn to make Fact Families:    (12, 8, 6 )         ( 9, 14, 5 )         Make some more of your own.

Number of the day:     Grade 2 number to 100, Grade 3 numbers to 1000)

Addition and Subtraction of (Grade 2- 2digit numbers)  (Grade 3- 3 digit numbers)

Adding Tens then Ones then put them together:

25 +63 =

20 +60 = 80

5+3 = 8

80 +8 = 88

Compensating (find a friendly number to work with.  Hint- they end in zero)

28 +63 =

30 +63= 93

93 -2 = 91

*We added two to 28 so we could have a friendly number to add easily so then we had to subtract two off again.

Adding and subtracting using open number lines:

97 -28 =

             -1    -7        -10         -10

             I__I________I__________I___________I

            69 70     77          87          97

Compensating

78 - 26 =       ( I rounded to the closest friendly number by taking away 4 more than I really needed to)

78-30= 48

48 +4 = 52     (Now I must add those 4 back )

Tens and Ones

78-26 =

70-20=50

8-6=2

50+2 = 52

Subtract using Base Ten Blocks

43 + 28=

I I I I ***    +  I I *****   ***       (make another group of ten from your ones)

I I I I I I I  *

Solve and Create Word Problems:

Grade 2 use sums and differences to 100

Grade 3 uses sums and differences to 1000

If Evan had 18 toy trucks and he got 4 more for his birthday, how many toy trucks does Evan have now?

Step 1  Create an equation       18+4 =

Step 2  Solve your equation       18+4=22

Step 3  Answer a word problem in words as well as numbers.        Evan now has 22 toy trucks.

Spelling:

Grade 2 No Excuse Spelling Words

Grade 3 No Excuse Spelling Words

I will e-mail these to grade 3 students.  Grade Two has a copy in the "Home Stories" packet I sent home.

Reading:

Grade 2 - Read 15 mins./day

Grade 3- Read 20 mins./day

This week I want you to focus on who the Characters are.  Think about what characteristics would describe them.  ie. kind, mean, funny, smart, etc.  What do they look like?  Would you like that person to be a friend and why?  Do they change throughout the book?  How so?  Do they remind you of someone you know in real life?  Why?

Writing:

Write a story about the things you have been doing at home since school stopped.  

Create a Title

What is your beginning?  Let the reader know what your story is about.  Begin with a sound, description of the setting or a character (you).

Give me a minimum of three things that you have done.  I don't want a list but rather a description of each activity you have done.  ie. sliding, baking cookies with Mom or Dad, walking in the woods, etc.

Remember capital letters, punctuation marks (. ? !), use complete sentences (who did what).  Use some short sentences and some longer ones.  Try to use some fancy words (more interesting words "funny" could be "hillarious")

Endings are important as they let the reader know you are coming to a close.  Sum up the story, ask a question or tell us your feelings about the outcome of your story.  

Wellness

Play outside every nice day.

Be kind to your brothers and sisters.  Remember to smile!

Stay Safe!
