By the end of Second Grade, you will be expected to be able to:

• Measure objects in different ways
• Use measuring tools (ruler, scale, etc) to measure things correctly
• Tell time on a clock to the nearest minute

What Time Is It?

Here are some ways that your parents can practice with you:

• Use rulers to measure things around your house--don't forget to line your ruler up to start at 0!!
• Use your bathroom scale to measure things around your house--try estimating before you measure.
• Have your parents always ask you what time it is on the clock--the more practice you get, the better you'll get!
• Buy a watch so that you can always look at a clock.
• When it's time to pack up the leftovers after dinner, estimate which container it will fit in.
