2-D Geometry
Here are a few activities to help you practice naming and sorting 2-D shapes.
Remember, all 2-D shapes that have straight sides are called polygons! Here are the names of the polygons we are learning about in class:
triangle - 3 sides and 3 vertices
quadrilateral - 4 sides and 4 vertices
pentagon - 5 sides and 5 vertices
hexagon - 6 sides and 6 vertices
heptagon - 7 sides and 7 vertices
octagon - 8 sides and 8 vertices

Shape Sort
This game asks you to sort shapes based on the number of sides they have. We know a trick about the number of sides a shape has and the number of vertices it has. Share this trick with someone at home!
Tangram Puzzles
This activity challenges you to make different shapes using tangram pieces. Try rotating the tangram pieces if you can't find a way to make them fit.
Polygon Matching Game
This is a version of the game "Concentration" where you have to match the polygon to its name.
Online Geoboards!
We have been using geoboards in class to practice making polygons. Now you can try playing and learning with geoboards on the computer!
Lines of Symmetry
This activity asks students to place lines of symmetry in the correct place on a shape.
Symmetry Activity
This activity gives students a chance to complete symmetrical shapes on graph paper.
Making Symmetrical Pictures
This activity is similar to the one above, except students have to draw symmetrical images using dot paper.

Try using these online tools to help you measure time at home. For example, you could see how long it takes you to clean your room or set the table!
Stopwatch
Visual Timer
Analog Clock
Here are activities to help students practice telling time.
Time for Time
This activity lets students practice estimating and measuring the passage of time using minutes and hours.
Clockworks
This activity lets students place the clock hands to match a given digital time.
Online Analog and Digital Clocks
Students can use this website to explore telling time with analog and digital clocks.

Measurement
Here are some websites to help students practice some of their measurement skills.
Online Geoboards! - We have been using geoboards in class to practice measuring area and perimeter. Now you can try playing and learning with geoboards on the computer!
Hop to It - This frog game lets students select an appropriate nonstandard unit to measure length.
Measure It - These multiple choice questions help students to practice estimating and measuring in centimetres.
Estimating Metric Length - This activity gives students a chance to look at a line, make an estimate of the line's length, and then use an interactive ruler to measure the line.
World's Tallest Skyscrapers - This is a website that shows the heights of the world's tallest skyscrapers in metres. Students can compare the heights of the various skyscrapers and those who are curious can click on the buildings for more information.
Which Unit? - These multiple choice questions give students a chance to choose the appropriate unit of measurement (centimetres or metres) for various objects.

Number Sense and Numeration
Here are some websites to help students practice some of the skills we are learning in our Number Sense and Numeration unit such as adding, subtracting, representing numbers, skip counting and comparing numbers.
Addition Activities:
Penguin Party Addition
Bugabaloo
Math Popper
Dinosaur Dentist (This is a good game to practice your doubles and doubles plus one)
Number Activities:
Base 10 Blocks Activity
This activity lets students represent numbers using base ten materials. Click on the "Instructions"
icon for more information on how to use this online tool.
Counting Machine Activity
This activity lets students use a number line to skip count. Click on a number to choose your skip counting pattern (we have been counting by 2's, 5's and 10's in class). Click "play" to start creating a skip counting number line.
Math is Fun Website
This website has lots of games and activities that can help students to practice the math skills
we are learning in Grade 2. Try exploring the Numbers section to practice counting and skip counting. The Counting to 100 game is a great way to practice your numbers to 100 using a hundreds chart.
Patterning
We have now started our patterning unit in math. We will be learning to create, extend and describe growing and repeating patterns. Here are some games and activities to help students practice the skills we are learning.
Pattern Train
This activity lets students identify and extend patterns. To use Pattern Train, have students practice completing patterns of shapes, numbers, or colours. To complete the pattern, drag the blocks onto the train. If a block does not belong where it is dropped, it will return to where it was picked up. Look for patterns either in the numbers, the shapes, or the colours. Click the "New Problem" button to start a new train.
Repeating Patterns
These multiple choice questions check students' understanding of repeating patterns.
Paul Pattern
In every trial Paul the pattern dog presents you a pattern, along with three others to choose from. You are asked to find the one that shows the same pattern in a different way, and click it. After
successfuly finding 20 patterns, Paul will give you a short dance show!
Growing Patterns
These multiple choice questions check students' understanding of growing patterns.
Describing Patterns
These multiple choice questions ask students to describe patterns using letters (e.g. AABB, ABC, etc).
Count on Us
This activity lets students make patterns in an interactive room. Click the "easy game" button. Drag and drop objects on the bookshelf to make patterns on the bed, walls, floor, and hat. Click the
"play again" button to for a new number of objects. Have students practice their communication by describing the patterns using mathematical language.
Counting Patterns
This activity gives students a chance to practice skip counting patterns (e.g. counting by 2s, 5s and 10s).
Smiley Number Patterns
This activity invovles growing or shrinking number patterns. Type the missing number to complete the pattern. If you are correct, the smiley will "smile". To continue hit the Enter key.
