Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

This cluster includes the following benchmarks
| Code |
Description |
| MAFS.2.MD.2.5: | Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems
involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using
drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for
the unknown number to represent the problem. |
| MAFS.2.MD.2.6: | Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram
with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., and
represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number
line diagram. |

Description |
| Wilbur's Pig Pen Addition: | Students will explore the fundamentals of adding measurements involving shapes. Students will practice measuring the sides of rectangles and engage in an extended problem-solving task that includes adding to find the distance around rectangles. |
| Get Up and Go! with Addition and Subtraction: | The lesson involves students adding and subtracting on a number line while follwoing a story that explains the amount of time taken to get ready in the morning. Students will write addition and subtraction equations to represent the parts of the story. |
| Where to Locate the Bus Stop.: | The school principal wishes to locate a bus stop that serves a given set of students living on a road. The criterion for determining the location is to make the sum of distances traveled by all of the student riders as small as possible. The problem is to determine the best location for a given set of students and to determine a general rule. |
