Develop and use models to represent phenomena or design a prototype solution.
Teachers can use 2.1G to sequence instruction on Develop & use models and monitor progress toward mastery.
With 2.1G, Grade 2 students practice Develop & use models in multiple representations and contexts.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 2.1G.
Standard 2.1G describes the essential skills and understandings for Develop & use models in Grade 2. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Develop & use models, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 2.1G.
