Year 2 Mathematics Curriculum Objectives
Number - number and place value
- (2N1) Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward or backward
- (2N2a) Read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words
- (2N2b) Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs
- (2N3) Recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens and ones)
- (2N4) Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line
- (2N6) Use place value and number facts to solve problems
Number - addition and subtraction
- (2C1) Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100
- (2C2a) Add and subtract numbers mentally, including:
- (2C2b) Add and subtract numbers using concrete objects and pictorial representations, including:
- (2C3) Recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use this to check calculations and missing number problems
- (2C4) Solve problems with addition and subtraction
- (2C9a) Show that addition of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and subtraction of one number from another cannot
Number - multiplication and division
- (2C6) Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers
- (2C7) Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals (=) signs
- (2C8) Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts
- (2C9b) Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of one number by another cannot
Number - fractions
- (2F1a) Recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3 , 1/4 , 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity
- (2F1b) Write simple fractions for example, 1/2 of 6 = 3
- (2F2) Recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2
Measurement
- (2M1) Compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using >, < and =
- (2M2) Choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height in any direction (m/cm); mass (kg/g); temperature (°C); capacity (litres/ml) to the nearest appropriate unit using rulers, scales, thermometers and measuring vessels
- (2M3a) Recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); combine amounts to make a particular value
- (2M3b) Find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money
- (2M4a) Tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times
- (2M4b) Compare and sequence intervals of time
- (2M4c) Know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day
- (2M9) Solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change
Geometry - properties of shapes
- (2G1a) Compare and sort common 2-D shapes and everyday objects
- (2G1b) Compare and sort common 3-D shapes and everyday objects
- (2G2a) Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line
- (2G2b) Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces
- (2G3) Identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes, [for example, a circle on a cylinder and a triangle on a pyramid]
Geometry - position and direction
- (2P1) Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
- (2P2) 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 anticlockwise)
Statistics
- (2S1) Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables
- (2S2a) Ask and answer simple questions by counting the number of objects in each category and sorting the categories by quantity
- (2S2b) Ask and answer questions about totalling and comparing categorical data
