Investigate and describe unique life cycles where young do not resemble parents (e.g., butterflies, frogs).
For Grade 2, this standard focuses on Life cycles (non‑resembling young) and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
This standard clarifies expectations for Life cycles (non‑resembling young) 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 2.13D.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Life cycles (non‑resembling young), 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 2.13D.
Standard 2.13D describes the essential skills and understandings for Life cycles (non‑resembling young) in Grade 2. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
