Math: Measuring Length and Telling Time

Suggested Time Frame: 20 Instructional Days

        

Focus TEKS

Measuring Length

  • 2.9A find the length of objects using concrete models for standard units of length
  • 2.9B describe the inverse relationship between the size of the unit and the number of units needed to equal the length of an object
  • 2.9C represent whole numbers as distances from any given location on a number line
  • 2.9D determine the length of an object to the nearest marked unit using rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, or measuring tapes
  • 2.9E determine a solution to a problem involving length, including estimating lengths

Telling Time

  • 2.9G read and write time to the nearest one-minute increment using analog and digital clocks and distinguish between a.m. and p.m.
Numeracy TEKS

Counting Patterns (Suggested: 4 days)

  • 2.5A determine the value of a collection of coins up to one dollar [pennies, nickels, and dimes only in this unit]
    • 2.5B use the cent symbol, dollar sign, and the decimal point to name the value of a collection of coins
  • RRISD 2.7B Skip count forward and backward by ten and one hundred from any given number up to 1,000

Developing Strategies for Adding and Subtracting (Suggested: 14 days)

  • 2.4A recall basic facts to add and subtract within 20 with automaticity
  • 2.4B add up to four two-digit numbers and subtract two-digit numbers using mental strategies and algorithms based on knowledge of place value and properties of operations
Spiral Review TEKS

1st Grade Revisiting Shapes and Fair Shares (Suggested: 18 days)

  • 1.6A  Classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes based on attributes using informal geometric language
  • 1.6B Distinguish between attributes that define a two-dimensional or three-dimensional figure and attributes that do not define the shape
  • 1.6C  Create two-dimensional figures, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons
  • 1.6D Identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons, and describe their attributes using formal geometric language
  • 1.6E Identify three-dimensional solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms [including cubes], and triangular prisms, and describe their attributes using formal geometric language
  • 1.6F  Compose two-dimensional shapes by joining two, three, or four figures to produce a target shape in more than one way if possible
  • 1.6G  Partition two-dimensional figures into two and four fair shares or equal parts and describe the parts using words
  • 1.6H  Identify examples and non-examples of halves and fourths

Counting Quantities (Suggested: 2 days, using both numeracy and spiral review time)

  • RRISD 2.1 organize and count a collection of objects and create a recording of how the objects were counted
    • 2.1C  select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems;
    • 2.1E  create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas;
