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
  • use place value and number facts to solve problems 
Addition
  • recall and use addition facts to 20 fluently (Number bonds to 10, 20 and 100)

  • add numbers mentally, using concrete objects, pictorial representations. Eg. 23 + 4, 35 + 10 and 34 + 61  

  • fact families E.g. 4 + 6 = 10 6 + 4 = 10 so 10 = 6 + 4 10 = 4 + 6

  • solve problems with addition 

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 

Subtraction
  • recall and use subtraction facts to 20 fluently

  • subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations Eg. 23 - 4, 35 - 10 and 61 - 34  

  • fact families E.g. 4 + 6 = 10 6 + 4 = 10 so 10 - 6 = 4 10 - 4 = 10

  • solve problems with addition and subtraction 

Money
  • 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 

  • Solve 2 step problems

Algebra
  • generate a pattern following a given criteria  

  • 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:
