Mathematics and Numeracy

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

Addition and Subtraction

  • add and 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 

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

Time (Analogue)

  • Revise there are 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day and 52 weeks in a year.  

  • know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day

  • tell and write time in 15 minute intervals – o’clock/quarter past/half past/quarter to.

  • compare and sequence intervals of time e.g. It’s 7.30 what will the time be in half an hour. 

Length and Height

  • choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height in any direction (m/cm); 

  • problem solving using mixed measures

  • practical application of measuring skills

Mass and Capacity

  • choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure mass (kg/g); to the nearest appropriate unit scales etc

  • choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure capacity (litres/ml) to the nearest appropriate unit using measuring vessels 

  • problem solving using mixed measures

  • practical application of measuring skills

Time (Digital)

  • know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day

  • tell and write time in 15 minute intervals – o’clock/quarter past/half past/quarter to.

  • compare and sequence intervals of time e.g. It’s 7.30 what will the time be in half an hour.

Position and Direction

  • use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement, including movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three-quarter turns (clockwise and anti- clockwise) 

  • order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences

 

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:
