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.

Year 2 tell the time by showing where the hour hand and the minutes hands. Children need to be confident in telling the time before they use this activity. They must understand that the hour hand is the small hand and the long hand is the minutes hand. The resource will enable them to count in fives around the clock and understand how to calculate for example 20 minutes past 9. A differentiated resource for all children to reach the expected standards (S) in maths for the new curriculum.

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.

A fun and interesting activity to consolidate adding three numbers including one 2 digit number. Children should have secure prior knowledge of adding mentally using different strategies such as doubling or counting in different steps. The task can be easily differentiated for all abilities. It offers good opportunity for teachers to facilitate the learning whilst watching how children apply learnt skills. They should be encouraged to be resilient, use trial and error and work systematically to find more than one answer. They should demonstrate reasoning skills by explain e.g how they made the total 29 using two shapes only with a value of 5 and 12. This make AFL easier for the teacher. A highly recommended task.

2d shapes Exploring properties of shape with a fun shadow making activity. Children can learn about the properties of regular, simple 2d shapes as well being extended to naming and creating new irregular shapes. The powerpoint demonstrates how to uses torches to create shadow shapes, and differentiated activities allow for children to sort shapes, into different types of tables (e.g carol diagrams and ven diagrams). Relevant questions suitable for testing reasoning about shape can also be found in the powerpoint.

This is a good resources to assess children's ability to reason with number. They have several statements that they have to prove such as if you multiply odd with odd the answer is always odd. Or if you start on the number 14 and count in multiples of 2 you will land on 35. The children write examples of their working out and prove if the statement is true or false - or sometimes, never, always. This is a good activity for children to show independent working out and demonstrate prior knowledge of odds, evens, counting in steps of 2, 5, 10, 3,4s, etc. Suitable for greater depth children and differentiation is available for those working at or below.

Knowing your times tables is essential for securing maths at the expected standard, in the new maths curriculum. This resources will help you to rote learn the 2,3,4,5,6 and 10 times tables with your class. There are differentiated resources to print so that children can practise every day or weekly. The times tables are visually displayed in columns, grid method and for children to fill in empty boxes. This resource is practical and visual for EAL learners to establish good basics maths to lay the foundation of mental maths in year 2 and 3. Most children will be familiar with the 2, 5, 10 times tables, so they can be challenged to use the grids to find the answers to missing numbers e.g 5 x … = 35. They can also move on to the 3, 4, 6, times tables. Daily practice, chanting and oral rehearsing is advocated for all children to be able to count forwards, backwards, in and out of order. Using inverse is also recommended to find the missing blanks on the grid. Suitable for the new maths curriculum.

Year 2 open ended challenge. Can also be used for Year 1 HAPs children to show application of number bonds to 20. Good group work activity and allows for children to demonstrate their reasoning skills. Teachers will be able to use AFL during the activity to see which children are confident with their bonds to 10,20 and 50. Can be easily differentiated by using counters for less confident children and changing some of the rules, e.g you can use any number more than once. Great for group work or individual assessment task. Encourages working systematically and talking about maths to show thinking.

Year 2 working at greater depth and mastery level. This challenge is suitable for HAPS to challenge them to record in tables( by creating their own) and think about how to work systematically. It challenges them to begin looking for patterns and write a simple formula to estimate the 10th number. This is an excellent, engaging and fun way to see children working at greater depth level and how they apply their skill of reasoning. The challenge asks children to make a straw house and then estimate how many are needed for a street of 10. They are extended to look at rockets and create their own straw challenge for others to complete. Great team building exercise. Can also be used with children working within the expected level if, practical straws are provided alongside a table template.

Comparing amounts using < > and = in the context of length , mass and fractions. Children are encouraged to use jottings to solve each side of the equation. They then use the correct symbol to balance the equation. Suitable for year 2 mastery level although the activities are differentiated and easily accessible to all. Year 2 New Maths Curriculum.

Year 2 Science Plants This is a bundle of differentiated resources for science and the plants unit. It’s excellent for teaching science cross curricular and supports the maths reasoning at greater depth questioning. The questions are based on a given block graph about the height of sunflowers and pupils are asked to answer ‘how many more, how many less, what is the difference between’ type questions. Children have to draw a tally to match the data. This resource can also be used to assess the end of the unit or at the start to address misconceptions in the True or False Quiz. Children can change the statements into questions if they are unsure and this can be the basis of the start of the unit. Excellent differentiated incorporated. To make this lesson more engaging and challenging, teachers may have paper cut flowers for HAPS to create their own graphs. This resources is adapted to suit the new science curriculum.

Yer 2 Maths This is an excellent collection of Maths Sats end of Ks1 arithmatic and reasoning example questions. With this resource you will find examples of 40 + powerpoint slides that include all these areas; place value, addition and subtraction on a number line, repeated subtraction, miltiplication, fractions of amount, adding money, using inverse of addition and subtraction, using known facts, number bonds, odds and evens and balancing equations. The children can work through each slide systematically to revise the new maths curriculum or it can be used as a starter to improve the mathematical understanding of children working at the expected standard. Mastery level questioning has been included. All powerpoint is easily accessible and editable to make it more or less challenging. A great revision aid for all teachers working to meet the expected Teacher Assessment Framework standards in the summer term and Greater Depth. This is in line with the new maths curriculum of 2018.

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.

There are differentiated worksheets on Fractions from working within to Mastery level in maths as well as a powerpoint with success criteria and word problems. There is opportunity for children to practice mental maths with fractions and then move onto word problems. For gifted children in maths, there is opportunity to work on 2 step problems. These activities have been used in a year 2 class to teach Maths for the new curriculum 2016.

Maths in KS1 This is an excellent resource to secure to addition to 20. The task is designed to encourage speaking in full sentences using sentence stems e.g. There are 2 red cars and 3 blues cars. There are 5 cars altogether. The children can be challenged to show understanding of addition as being commutative - (can be done in any order) - this can also be done by using visuals to represent number sentences where the equals sign is at the front e.g. 5= 3+ 2. Teachers can develop vocabulary by encouraging the use of star words in a full sentence. This is a good resources to use when moving from practical resources to pictorial representations. Excellent and most suitable for EAL and SEN learners. Suitable for Reception EYFS and year 1 working towards.

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 Number -Shapes and Fractions Finding different fractions including 1/2, 1/4, and 2/5, 2/3 within a shaped pattern. Children working at greater depth can answer questions like which one is more 2/4 or 2/8 of this chocolate bar. They can also solve problems in a fun and engaging way to find equivalent fractions. This work is suitable for Mastery level in year 2 and is adapted for the new maths curriculum. Children can be challenged to write the number sentences for working out different fractions they need to shade e.g 2/4 of 8 is … 8 divided 4 x 2 (so they need to shade 4 out of 8 boxes). Differentiated activities also included for children working at and below Band 2.

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.

Adding and subtracting on a number line including finding the difference. An excellent array of worksheets differentiated according to structured numberline in 5’s 10’s or in 1’s. Can be easily edited to move on to different scales for year 2 e.g. jumping in steps of 3s , 4s or 10s. Children can start from practical resources using bead strings and number lines and then move on to pictorial and abstract form when ready. Very good for EAL learners and SEN learners.

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.
