Second Grade Mathematics Unit 5 Standards

This document provides information about the mathematics standards for second grade Unit 5. It outlines four standards: 1) recognizing and drawing shapes with specified attributes, 2) partitioning rectangles into rows and columns of squares and counting them, 3) partitioning circles and rectangles into halves, thirds, or fourths and describing shares using words, and 4) creating picture graphs and bar graphs to represent categorical data sets of up to four categories and solving related problems. Each standard is explained and an example is provided.

SECOND GRADE MATHEMATICS

UNIT 5 STANDARDS
Dear Parents,
As we continue to work with the Common Core Standards, we want to make sure that you have
an understanding of the mathematics your child will be learning this year. Below you will find the
standards we will be learning in Unit Five. Each standard is in bold print and underlined and
below it is an explanation with student examples. Your child is not learning math the way we did
when we were in school, so hopefully this will assist you when you help your child at home.
Please let your teacher know if you have any questions
MCC2.G.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given
number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles,
quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
This standard calls for students to identify (recognize) and draw shapes based on a given set of
attributes. These include triangles, quadrilaterals (squares, rectangles, and trapezoids),
pentagons, hexagons and cubes.
Example: Draw a closed shape that has five sides. What is the name of the shape?
Student 1
I drew a shape with 5 sides. It is called a
pentagon.

MCC2.G.2 Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count
to find the total number of them.
This standard calls for students to partition a rectangle into squares (or square-like regions) and
then determine the total number of squares. This relates to the standard 2.OA.4 where students
are arranging objects in an array of rows and columns.
Example: Split the rectangle into 2 rows and 4 columns. How many small squares did you make?

MCC2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares,
describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and
describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal
shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
This standard calls for students to partition (split) circles and rectangles into 2, 3 or 4 equal
shares (regions). Students should be given ample experiences to explore this concept with paper
strips and pictorial representations. Students should also work with the vocabulary terms halves,
thirds, half of, third of, and fourth (or quarter) of. While students are working on this standard,
teachers should help them to make the connection that a whole is composed of two halves,
three thirds, or four fourths.
This standard also addresses the idea that equal shares of identical wholes may not have the
same shape.
Example: Divide each rectangle into fourths a different way.

MCC2.MD.10 Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to
represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart,
and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
This standard continues throughout the 2nd grade year.
This standard calls for students to work with categorical data by organizing, representing and
interpreting data. Students should have experiences posing a question with 4 possible responses
and then work with the data that they collect.
Example: Students pose a question and the 4 possible responses. Which is your favorite flavor of
ice cream: Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or cherry?
Students collect their data by using tallies or another way of keeping track. Students organize
their data by totaling each category in a chart or table. Picture and bar graphs are introduced in
2nd Grade.
