Shapes Resource suitable for KS1 Suitable for Year 1 and year 2, understanding properties of shape. Name common 2d shapes and sort into given criteria. More able to be able to sort into more than one criteria, e.g color and number of sides. Record into a given table. This resource has been differentiated fer low ability children so they can identify common shapes in the environment.

Year 2 Maths Measures - Reading scales in kg and grams. First, the children have the opportunity to think about the different measures of unit required for different purposes, e.g. measuring height of door, amount of liquid in bath, the length of playground, weight of book etc. They then focus on reading scales for mass and find out how to read scales accurately. Some children confuse the dial reading for mass with a clock and these misconceptions must be addressed. There are opportunities for mastery and greater depth problems in these bundle of resources. Children are also required to use > < comparative arrows to show greater understanding of given weights.

Year 2 Maths Measures - Reading scales using a thermometer and solving problems with temperature. This activity involves solving problems with temperature, including temperature increase and decrease. The children write a simple equation to show their working out, and then show the answer on the thermometer provided in degrees. Children must have prior knowledge, using and reading a real thermometer e.g to check and read the temperature of indoor space or outdoor space. They should handle thermometers and try to take a reading in different places to see how the temperature drops or increases. This activity supports the new greater depth and mastery curriculum in YR2.

Greater Depth Maths - Year 2 TAF objective- Determine remainders using known facts. This is a greater depth standard, however, the objective has been differentiated so that all the class can access it at their level using visual and scaffolds. HA use known facts to solve remainders MA use multiplication facts of 2x table and division facts LA and SEN use numicon to solve how many 2 numicon can fit into a shape. The children master the objective by demonstrating reasoning and using known facts. 2x 7 = 14 and 2 x 8 = 16 (this is too high because I don’t have 16 socks). So the closest number of pairs is 7. 15 divided by 2 = 7 remainder 1 Suitable for the new maths curriculum. A necessary objective to meet the standards for greater depth and useful to consolidate multiplication and division for working at children. I hope you find it useful. Thank you for choosing this resource

Year 2 Maths Number This game is suitable for children working at expected and greater depth in numeracy. It supports adding multiples of ten to any given number. Children can work independently in a group during mental oral starter. The game is engaging and allows children to demonstrate their mental maths skills application.

Year 1 and 2 Maths Investigation with shape and number This is a fun, engaging and creative lesson with shape. The lesson has been successfully used to apply knowledge of shapes in a year 2 setting. Children can begin to think of problems systematically. They think of the best way to start, that there is more than one answer, that they can use number doubles and counting on to support them. Children are encouraged to find different ways to make a 9 sided shape family. They need to be secure with properties of simple 2d shapes previously such as sides of regular shapes. Work can be differentiated by giving children regular or irregular shapes. Very stimulating activity for all learners. The activity can be easily adapted for both year groups.

This is fun and engaging way to work with money for young children. They can show reasoning with number and application of skills. In this problem solving task children are using money and showing a system. How many different ways can you make the amount using 2 coins. Differentiated for low ability with scaffolding provided and less amount of coins to use. Higher ability to use bigger amount and three coins. Additional money work consolidates number e.g. giving change from an amount using a number line to find the difference (and counting forward from the smallest number). Children working at the expected standard in the new maths curriculum can use a ruler as a substitute for a number line. Suitable for ks1.

Year 1 and year 2 Maths Use Beebots to give directions on the road to different olympic venues. Can be used to introduce ordinal language for children working at the expected standard. Also available are time worksheets Suitable for year 1 and 2.

Year 1 and 2 Maths - Money Adding the value of money in context of shopping. Use two money amounts that add up to ten first. Children to apply previous knowledge learned about number bonds to ten. then to add extra number. Extend to children recording the coins they would use to make this value. Greater depth children can use the smallest amount of coins. Subtraction word problems. use jottings to record answer. For more able children to record subtraction as difference between. start on the smallest number and count up.

Year 2 Maths Number Estimating calculations by rounding to the nearest multiple of 10 first. This resource has differentiated activities for children to solve an equation by rounding. They then write a reasoned answer about which answer is the closest. e.g is 12 + 9 closer to 20 or 30? children select 30 and write a sentence e.g 12 rounds down to 10 and 9 rounds up to 10 so 20 is the closest answers. children working at greater depth have further opportunities to round, reason and also use the > and < sign to select the appropriate answer. This is a challenging activity for all levels. Children will be able to develop fluency with estimating and rounding. They will need a pre-teach lesson about rules of rounding prior to this. Suitable for the new Year 2 curriculum and meeting ITAF standards.

Year 2 Maths - Measures ‘Capacity and Reading scales’ These are activities to assess children’s ability to read scales in ml and liters. Children should have first hand practical experience measuring into different size cylinders or bottles first to get secure understanding of when to use ml or liters. They should experience for example that four 250 ml containers fill a liter bottle. They can then move on to identifying the reading of scales in different jugs and solve problems. These resources are differentiated for mastery and greater depth. There are opportunities to show reasoning and is suitably adapted to provide high expectations for the new maths curriculum.

Year 2 Maths - Number This powerpoint is to support the new national curriculum objectives for Year 2. It is a fun engaging way for children to demonstrate mastery level in number in all four operations. Children have to estimate the answer by rounding first. After this, they write a simple sentence showing their understanding and reasoning skills. This powerpoint can be used to consolidate rounding and estimating as well as introducing it. The work is differentiated for children working within the expected standard, and those working at greater depth in mathematics. Children will be able to show their number skills in this broad and challenging activity.

Year 2 Maths Fluency in Arithmetic and achieving the expected level in maths, GD and support for SEN. This 25 page resource is excellent to bridge the gaps in children’s book to evidence the  maths arithmetic TAF statements. There are differentiated examples for children to work throughout to have sufficient evidence for areas like doubling, simplified expressions, place value, coordination, rounding and estimating, shape, bridging to add and subtract and using the inverse operations. There are 25 differentiated PowerPoint slides to support blended learning. You will be able to collect all required evidence needed - if you are being moderated or have been asked to provide further evidence by the moderators. Good luck with your end of key stage maths.

Year 2 Telling the time to the hour, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Children are encouraged to understand what each hand on the clock represents. They move onto telling the time an hour later, hour before, half an later and half an hour before. They look at word problems related to time and work out for example which clock is showing the time one hour after 10.30. They tick the clock that is showing a time in between 3 o’clock and 4 o’clock (e.g a clock face showing 3:15). The work on here is suitable for children working at the expected standard in Maths for year 2. The word problems have challenges for all ability groups including questions to challenge children working at greater depth.

Year 2 Division. This is a bundle of resources to teach division with missing numbers. It is suitable after children are secure at step counting to divide or after sharing equally into groups. Once they are secure, they can solve missing numbers. They should use step count to solve the missing number for division or the inverse of multiplication depending on where the missing number is placed. The next step function machine is an excellent plenary to solve another missing number that is presented differently. It is excellent for children working at greater depth. This resource is fab and fun for exploring and investigating number in mixed ability groups. Please enjoy and remember to review the resource. Thank you.
