In Weeks 5–7, Year 2 pupils will extend their understanding of place value within 100. They will practise partitioning numbers into tens and ones, using place value to solve addition and subtraction problems, and exploring number patterns. Activities include comparing and ordering numbers, using <, >, and = symbols, and applying their knowledge to real-life contexts. These lessons build a strong foundation for arithmetic and problem-solving skills, ensuring pupils are confident with numbers up to 100.
During Weeks 3 and 4, Year 2 pupils will deepen their understanding of place value within 100. They will explore the value of tens and ones, compare and order numbers, and use number lines accurately. The children will practise counting forwards and backwards in steps of 2, 5, and 10, building fluency and confidence with number patterns. Through engaging activities and problem-solving tasks, they will apply their knowledge to real-world contexts, providing a strong foundation for future mathematical learning.
Week 1: is just one days work due to inset days, and mainly just getting to know kids activities on first few days.
In Week 2 we’ll be diving into the exciting world of numbers and place value! Get ready to count, identify and break down numbers in different ways. Here’s what we’ll be learning:
Number Recognition: We’ll learn to identify numbers up to 20, both when we see them written as numerals (like 15) and as words (like fifteen).
Counting Objects: Let’s count! We’ll practice counting objects all the way up to 100, building our counting skills and number sense.
Counting in Tens: Zoom! Zoom! We’ll learn to count by tens, a super useful skill for understanding place value and larger numbers.
Tens and Ones: What are tens and ones? We’ll explore how numbers are made up of groups of tens and ones, like 34 having 3 tens and 4 ones.
Partitioning Numbers: Time to break it down! We’ll practice partitioning numbers up to 100 into tens and ones. For example, we’ll learn that 67 can be split into 6 tens and 7 ones.
Get ready for a week of number fun! We’ll play games, use manipulatives, and explore different ways to understand numbers and place value.
