Year 2 Maths Key Skills

Number and Counting

I can count, order and compare numbers to 1000.
I have strategies for counting in ones, tens and hundreds.
I identify the place and value of each digit of corresponding numbers and can compare them.

Addition and Subtraction

I can do simple addition and subtraction within 1000.
I can add by re-grouping.
I can subtract by re-grouping.
I can use models and model drawings to find parts of a whole and find the whole from two or more parts. I can use these to solve simple word problems.
I can use models and model drawings to show when one or more sets are taken away. I can use this to solve simple word problems.
I can use number bonds in mental addition and subtraction.

Multiplication

Multiplication is conceptualised as multiplying a fixed number of objects by a certain number of times. The fixed number of objects refers to the number of objects in a group. The number of groups refers to the number of times it is multiplied.
I can multiply by 2, 3, 4 5, and 10.

Division

Division is conceptualised as sharing or dividing a set of items into equal groups so that each group has the same number of items.
Division is conceptualised as the inverse of division.

Measures

I can measure using cm and m and compare length using these.
I can measure using g and kg and compare masses.
I can apply addition and subtraction concepts and techniques to solve length and mass problems.
I can apply multiplication and division concepts and techniques to solve length and mass problems.

Money

I can change pence to pounds and pounds to pence and write it correctly.
I can compare amounts of money and solve 2 step word problems about money using all four operations.

Time

I can read and write the time using hours and minutes.
I can use and understand the terms am, pm, 12 noon and midnight.
I recognise that the time taken between two given times can be measured in hours and minutes.

Fractions

I understand that fractions make up equal parts of a whole.
I can compare and order simple fractions.
I can quantify add and subtract like fractions.
I can solve word problems involving fractions.

Volume

I know that the capacity of a container is the amount of space it can hold.
I know the volume of a container is the amount of space it contains.
The litre (ℓ) is a unit of measurement for volume.
I can add and subtract the volume in litres like whole numbers.
I can multiply and divide the volume in litres like whole numbers.

Statistics

I can compare and interpret graphs or pictograms and solve problems related to them.
I can make picture graphs using different symbols or scales.

Shape

I can identify semi-circles and quarter circles.
I can visualise shapes as 3d shapes.

Additional Activities

Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward
Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line
Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs
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
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers
Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of one number by another cannot
Recognise, find, name and write fractions , , and of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity
Write simple fractions for example, of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of and
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 =
Find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money
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
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
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)
Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables.
