Mrs. Simmy Brar - Grade 2

I can...read a thermometer!

Students have been learning about Hot and Cold with Ms. Park, our student teacher. Students engaged in the scientific process and collected data using thermometers. First students learned about thermometers by watching a Brain Pop Jr video. The video outlined how you can you measure temperature in either Celcius or Farenheit. Students began data collecting around the school. Please ask your child to read the following temperatures...

Can you make a prediction - which liquid is warmer? Which liquid is cooler? How do you know?

I can...guess your number!!

Students in grade two have been strengthening their number sense by playing a game called - GUESS MY NUMBER!  Play this game at home to help learn more about numbers to 100.

You will need: paper, pencil and a 100s chart

How to play the game: The first player must write down a number from 0-100 on the piece of paper - hide it from your partner because this is the number your partner has to guess. 

The partner needs to ask questions to see if they can guess the partners number. As you go, cross out numbers that you've eliminated because of the questions you've asked! 

Students shared some of the strategies/questions they used to ask their partner. 

- does your number have two digits or one digit?

- is your number odd/even?

- is your number bigger than ____?

- is your number smaller than _____?

- is there a ___ in the ones place?

- is there a ___ in the tens place?

- is your number the same in the ones and the tens place
