Year 2 Summer Term Week 1 Counting and Properties of numbers

Three full PowerPoint Lessons about counting and properties of numbers which start with a fun mental warm up. The students then experience a fully interactive, main class leaning session. The lesson finishes with a fun differentiated learning challenge.

Summer Term

Lesson 1: Week 1
Title Counting and Properties of Numbers
Learning Objective:  recognise odd and even numbers
 understand what is special about odd and even numbers
 count on and back in twos.
Mental Warm Up: Counting on and back in ones.
Counting on and back in tens.
Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to investigate sharing by 2.
Educational Challenges  Investigate which numbers can be shared equally by 2. Look for patterns and predict results.
 Investigate which numbers less than 30 can be shared equally by 2.
 Investigate which numbers can be shared equally by 2. Predict results for numbers greater than 100.


Lesson 2: Week 1
Title Counting and Properties of Numbers
Learning Objective:  say what is happening in a number pattern
 say what number is next in a number pattern
 count on and back in steps of different sizes.
Mental Warm Up: You each have a number card. Is your number odd or even?
Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to be counting on and back in steps of different sizes.
Educational Challenges  Make up number chains using ‘add’ and ‘subtract’. Predict whether the final number will be more or less than the start number.
 Make up number chains using ‘add’ and ‘subtract’. Ask a classmate to work out the end number.


Lesson 3: Week 1
Title Counting and Properties of Numbers
Learning Objective:  count on in twos, fives and tens
 recognise multiples of 2, 5, and 10
 be able to explain number patterns
 recognise that some numbers can be a multiple of more than one number.
Mental Warm Up: Today you will be counting on and back in twos, fives and tens.
Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to recognise multiples of 2, 5, and 10.
Educational Challenges  Colour in multiples of 2, 5 and 10 on a hundred square.
 Practise recognising multiples of 2, 5 and 10.
