Mathematics Standards
Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades,
by the end of Grade 2, students will:
Standard 4.3

(Patterns and Algebra) All students will represent and analyze relationships among variable quantities and solve problems involving patterns, functions, and algebraic concepts and processes.

Standard 4.3.K.A Patterns
Standard 4.3.K.A.1
Recognize, describe, extend, and create patterns.
· Using concrete materials (manipulatives), pictures, rhythms, & whole numbers
· Descriptions using words and symbols (e.g., "add two" or "+ 2")
· Repeating patterns
· Whole number patterns that grow or shrink as a result of repeatedly adding or subtracting a fixed number (e.g., skip counting forward or backward)
Standard 4.3.K.B  Functions and Relationships
Standard 4.3.K.B.1
Use concrete and pictorial models of function machines to explore the basic concept of a function.
Standard 4.3.K.C  Modeling
Standard 4.3.K.C.1
Recognize and describe changes over time (e.g., temperature, height).
Standard 4.3.K.C.2
Construct and solve simple open sentences involving addition or subtraction.
· Result unknown (e.g., 6 – 2 = __ or n = 3 + 5)
· Part unknown (e.g., 3 + __ = 8)
Standard 4.3.K.D  Procedures
Standard 4.3.K.D.1
Understand and apply (but don’t name) the following properties of addition:
· Commutative (e.g., 5 + 3 = 3 + 5)
· Zero as the identity element (e.g., 7 + 0 = 7)
· Associative (e.g., 7 + 3 + 2 can be found by first adding either 7 + 3 or 3 + 2)
