Growing Patterns 

Together!

 Question: What was the monster reason for buying an extra large t-shirt?

Answer: He said his appetite was growing!

Hello grade 2 math lovers! We have been doing a lot of work on growing patterns and everyone did a great job of identifying, extending and creating growing patterns in creative ways. I would like to share some creative ways that your fellow students demonstrated growing patterns!

Conner has growing ice cream scoops!

Kenneth made a growing caterpillar!

Probability 

Together!

Question: What did one math book say to the other?

 Answer: Don't bother me! I have my own problems!

Good day fellow mathematicians! It was really great to see the responses to my question from class! I had asked you to come up with questions you had on probability with every day life objects. Here is what you came up with:

x   What is the probability that I will get one red Smartie in a bowl of 2 red Smarties, 6 blue Smarties and 10 purple Smarties?

x   What are my chances of rolling a two on a dice?

x   What is the probability that I get pizza for dinner when I already had it last night?

I will bring some items into class and we can explore these questions and more. Until then here are some fun websites to get your minds all warmed up!

The Monty Hall Problem is an advanced idea but why not check it out and discuss it with your family!

Water Cycle Game!

The water which we drink today is the same water that existed when the world began.

It is continually being recycled in a process called the water cycle.

Q: What happens if a frog parks in a bus stop?


A:  He gets toad away!

Hello my eager Grade 2 scientists! Now that we have moved on to our new unit about Understanding Life Systems Growth and Changes, I have added a few really cool websites to help you identify and describe major physical characteristics of amphibians.
