Mathematics and Numeracy
The following page provides information on the coverage of skills taught within mathematics and numeracy for the spring term. These are:
|
Multiplication |
• Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers • Develop a thorough understanding of lots of, groups of, sets of, grouping and sharing through concrete and pictorial representations • Doubling and halving using known facts e.g. 40 + 40 • Use halving and doubling to check answers • Group amounts using arrays • Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) • solve multiplication problems involving using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts. |
|
Statistics |
• Ask and answer questions by counting the number of objects in each category and sorting the categories by quantity |
|
Multiplication and Division |
• Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 • Ensure a thorough understanding of lots of, groups of, sets of, grouping and sharing through concrete and pictorial representations |
|
Temperature |
• Scales in 5s and 10s but have 1s not numbered • choose and use appropriate measuring equipment to measure |
|
Fractions |
Order simple fractions (1⁄2 1⁄4 with whole number representations also e.g. 11⁄2 2 1⁄4) • Find fractional quantities linked to known multiplication facts with the use |
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:
