Grade 2 Mathematics

Algebra
Learning Activity

Students use shapes and numbers to make patterns and extend them. They identify symbols as variables and develop code to move objects from one location to another. They analyse and create solutions for real-life problems using mathematical modelling.

This Learning Activity is divided into three sections. Adults should guide children through it in the following order:

Minds On: Introduces the learning concepts to be explored in the Learning Activity.
Action: Offers a focused activity to explore the content and discover key concepts.
Consolidation: Provides students with an opportunity to deepen understanding and reflect on learning.

Learning Strand

Algebra

Students use shapes and numbers to continue to learn about patterns and how to extend them. They also learn about equality by adjusting pairs of addition and subtraction statements to make them equal. Students will develop code to move multiple objects from one location to another on a grid at the same time. They will also use mathematical modelling to analyse and create solutions for real-life situations, such as determining the cost of a lunch program.
