Create and use representations to organize and communicate mathematical ideas.
For Grade 2, this standard focuses on Use representations and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
This standard clarifies expectations for Use representations so lesson goals, checks for understanding, and feedback stay aligned.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 2.1E.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Use representations, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 2.1E.
Standard 2.1E describes the essential skills and understandings for Use representations in Grade 2. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
