Year Two Autumn Term

Aimed at primary children from six to seven years of age, this resource supports learning about sequences, place value, number facts and counting. Two detailed weekly plans contain differentiated activities, guided and independent tasks and a list of resources required for each lesson. Objectives covered in the lessons include:

Week One

  • Mark 2-digit numbers on a beaded then landmarked line
  • Order and compare numbers to 100
  • Say a number between any given neighbouring pairs of multiples of ten
  • Count on in tens from 1 and 2-digit numbers and back again
  • Make a sensible estimate up to 100
  • Show 2-digit numbers on a bead string and write the corresponding addition
  • Partition 2-digit numbers into multiples of ten and one
  • Mental addition and subtraction using place value/ partitioning

Week Two

  • Mental addition and subtraction by partitioning all numbers to 10, then 20 into pairs
  • Use the = sign to represent equality (e.g. 6 + 4 = 7 + 3)
  • Recognise the use of a symbol such as ■ to represent an unknown
  • Count on in tens from any 1-digit number then any number, and back again
  • Relate counting on/back in tens to finding 10 more/less
