Math Spring Break Package. Unit # 8. 2nd. Grade

Problem Solving with Data
Unit 8 Block “A” Goal: student work revolves around categorical data, which is produced by sorting objects or
information into categories. For example, students learn about categories of animal classes and habitats and
then record those data in a table. Students also learn to use picture graphs and bar graphs to organize and
represent the data in as many as four categories (2.MD.D.10). They learn that this organizing of information
makes it easier to compare data and can help them solve problems.
Dear parents, this is the mini spring break math package for your child We provide you in English format that
made the possibility that you can support your child if need it.
Please return this package on Tuesday April 22. Thanks very much and enjoy the spring break.
