The Grade 2 afternoon PLC took a different approach to exploring about math. Together they co-created learning goals for the Geometric Properties and Geometric Relationships expectations in the Geometry and Spatial Sense strand. They then were able to dive into the resources that they had brought with them to find activities and lessons that would be useful to use when teaching those specific expecations.
Starting with the Learning Goals is really helpful before you teach a unit as it really helps you focus on curriculum expectations, but also help you organize all of the wonderful ideas that you have into speficic lessons. Here are some samples of the ideas that they came up with.
Check around in your school for the Dr. Small books and the Van De Walle books. They should be there. If you don't have a copy of the Guide To Effective Instruction, you can download one (for free) at
