Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content :
Understand place value
MACC.2.NBT.1 Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
  1. 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens –called a “hundred.”
  2. The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).
MACC.2.NBT.3 Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
MACC.2.NBT.4Compare two-three digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.
MACC.2.NBT.8 Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900 / Comments:
Notes on Assessment:
Unit 3 Assessment: Go Math Ch. 2
See common performance task link below.
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit: “Second grade students extend their base-ten understanding as they view 10 tens as a unit called a ‘hundred’. They use manipulative materials and pictorial representations to help make a connection between the written three-digit numbers and hundreds, tens, and ones.” Click here for more info. It is vital during this unit to go through the steps of concrete, pictorial, abstract. Students who rushed through these steps are not building a true understanding and often struggle long term. (e.g. addition and subtraction with regrouping) A strong foundation in this concept will help students skip count, compare and order numbers.
Common Performance Task with Rubric for this Unit:
Ja’quan’s Problem– Students will be representing number in pictorial and standard form through problem solving. Students will create and compare 3-digit numbers and recognize patterns within numbers up to a 1,000.
Click here for common performance task and rubric.
Future learning: Representing numbers flexibly prepares children to make sense of adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers where regrouping is required.
Understanding the decimal (place value) system has been described as “the most difficult and important instructional task in mathematics in the early years” (Resnick, 1983, p. 126). “Essentially, it involves interpreting numbers, not just as individual units or as points in a sequence, but as parts of other numbers.” (Martinez & Martinez, 2007, p. 120)
