Attention students and parents! With our Spring Festival vacation beginning soon, Grade 2 students will have more IXL homework to practice their math skills while they are gone. IXL has recently released an app for the iPad. Any Grade 2 students who have an iPad at home can now use it for their IXL homework! Awesome!
In Math class we have studied the use of money, specifically buying something and receiving change. We connected our study of money to our Social Studies focus in Unit 1 by looking at the relative values of different money around the world. The students cut out copies of money used in the United States, South Korea, China, Singapore, Europe, and Mexico. We discussed their relative value, and then the students used the money to create addition and subtraction problems independently. Grade 2 had lots of fun learning about money around the world! |
