Mathematics and Numeracy

The following page provides information on the coverage of skills taught within mathematics and numeracy for the autumn term. These are:

Place Value

  • read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words 

  • recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, units)

  • compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs

  • count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward (counting stick, practical tasks)

  • identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line (use different start and end points on the counting stick)

  • use place value and number facts to solve problems (ensure practical opportunities and a range of contexts)

  • identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line (inc. measures)

  • use place value and number facts to solve problems inc. Measures

Addition

  • recall and use addition facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100 (Number bonds to 10, 20 and 100)

  • add numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and mentally, including a two-digit number and ones; a two-digit number and tens; two two-digit numbers; adding three one-digit numbers (Add to the next 10 and past the 10)

  • show that addition of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) 

  • fact families using concrete and pictorial representations, always/sometimes/ never, true and false questions, prove it Completed in Amser Enfys

  • solve problems with addition using concrete objects and pictorial representations including those involving numbers, quantities and measures

Shape

  • identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and identifying a vertical line of symmetry 

  • identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces

  • compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects 

  • identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes, [for example a circle on a cylinder and a triangle on a pyramid] 

  • sort and classify shapes using an appropriate method

Subtraction

  • recall and use subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100 

  • subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and mentally, including a two-digit number and ones; a two-digit number and tens; two two-digit numbers; adding three one-digit numbers

  • show that  subtraction of one number from another cannot be done in any order 

  • fact families using concrete and pictorial representations, always/sometimes/ never, true and false questions, prove it

  • recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use this to check calculations and solve missing number problems 

  • solve problems with addition and subtraction using concrete objects and pictorial representations including those involving numbers, quantities and measures

Money (Financial Literacy)

  • Add coins to £1

  • Find change from £1

  • Know coin and note values up to £10

  • find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money (link with practical resources)

  • solve problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change (encourage role play opportunities)

  • Solve 2 step problems

Algebra

  • generate a pattern following a given criteria  e.g.using multilink blocks; Numicon, shapes etc

  • Identify an error in a given pattern/sequence

  • Fill in a missing object/item showing an understanding of the pattern/sequence

  • Count in steps of 2s, 5s and 10s

  • Count in odds and evens, forward and backwards in whole numbers

  • Complete missing values within a given sequence

  • Generate sequences starting at and ending at different points, including counting back

 

Pupils are challenged every week to improve their fluency in integral number skills such as multiplication and addition facts. Here is an example of the Year 2 Big Maths Challenge. Pupils are encouraged to use the habit 'Get it Right!' to improve their scores and time. Here is an example below:
