Count up to 1,000
Students will be able to count and order numbers up to 1,000. In addition, they will perform multiplication and division on these numbers.
Describe Complex Fractions
From basic halves, students will now progress to using quarters and eighths. They will be able to apply these concepts using the shapes they’ve learned.
Perform Basic Algebraic Operations
Students will learn to work with missing elements in a problem and come up with logical solutions to find these elements. Additionally, they will learn to interpret mathematical problems expressed in words and vice versa.
Tell Time to the Quarter Hour
Students will learn to describe time in quarter hour intervals. They will initially learn how to do this using analogue clocks.
Year 2 Maths Activities
Cards on the Table
In this game, students will be given random cards with maths instructions on them that they need to carry out. The cards can be on any topic, such as fractions and basic algebra.
You could divide the cards beforehand and sort them according to topic. Once you’re sure that your Year 2 students have a firm grasp on their maths, you can make the game more challenging by handing out the cards randomly.
What Time is it?
Here, students will apply what they’ve learned about telling time. Make sure to touch on level-appropriate topics at this stage (i.e. reading quarter hours).
You could show them a toy clock, move the hands to a specific time, and ask the students to tell you what time it is. Alternatively, you could say a specific time out loud, and ask your students to move the clock to that specific time.
