Spring Term

Our Length and Height unit:

We will be learning about length and height.  We will be building on our year one knowledge, the importance of using the same unit of measure.  We measure using centimetres and metres. We will compare and order lengths and heights, and then solve problems using length and height.

We will solve both one-step and two-step problems relating to lengths and heights. They use concrete and pictorial representations to support them in understanding the questions, and in calculating efficiently. 

Our multiplication and division unit: 

In year 2 we will build on our practical knowledge of recognising and making equal groups and sharing using 2, 5 and 10s.  

We will now start to recognise and make equal groups to add together.    We will then look at the multiplcation symbol, use it in a number sentence and start to look at arrays.  We will make equal groups and then share equal groups.  We will explore the two times table, dividing by two and then doubling and halving.  We will look at even and odd numbers.  Finally, we will explore our ten and five times tables and then look at dividing by ten and five.  

We are learning about money this term.

Our money unit:

We will develop our knowledge and understanding from year 1 that coins are made up of ones, develop our counting and coin recognition skills beyond pence. 

We will start to count and make different amounts with both pence and pounds in year 2.  We will also compare amounts of money.  We will calculate with money.  We will find different ways to make a pound.  We will learn how to give the correct change and check our change.  Finally, we will solve two step problems using our knowledge of pounds and pence that we have learnt.

Autumn 1 and Autumn 2 - Maths unit Addition and Subtraction.​

In Year 1, we looked at number bonds both to and within 10 in detail. We will be revisiting and consolidating this learning, with a specific focus on number bonds to 10.​

Autumn 2 - Maths unit Shape.

Children begin this block by recapping their understanding of shape from Year 1

At the end of the unit children will be able to recognise both standard and non-standard representations of 2-D and 3-D shapes.
