Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Number and Place Value

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward
  • Recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones)
  • Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line
  • Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs
  • Read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words
  • Use place value and number facts to solve problems.

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Addition and Subtraction

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Solve problems with addition and subtraction:
  • Using concrete objects and pictorial representations, including those involving numbers, quantities and measures
  • Applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods
  • Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100
  • 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
  • Show that addition of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and subtraction of one number from
  • Another cannot
  • Recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use this to check calculations and solve missing number problems.

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Multiplication and Division

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers
  • Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write them
  • Using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals (=) signs
  • Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of one number by another cannot
  • Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts,
  • including problems in contexts.

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Fractions

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3, ¼, 2/4, ¾ of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity
  • Write simple fractions for example, ½ of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and ½

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Measurement

Pupils should be taught to:

  • 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
  • Compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using >, < and =
  • Recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); combine amounts to make a particular value
  • Find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money
  • Solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change
  • Compare and sequence intervals of time
  • 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
  • Know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day.

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Geometry – Properties of Shape

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line
  • Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces
  • Identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes, [for example, a circle on a cylinder and a triangle on a pyramid]
  • Compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects.

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Geometry Position and Direction

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
  • 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).

Year 2, Statutory Requirements: Statistics

Pupils should be taught to:

  • Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables
  • Ask and answer simple questions by counting the number of objects in each category and sorting the categories by quantity
  • Ask and answer questions about totalling and comparing categorical data.
