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:
a two-digit number and ones
a two-digit number and tens
two two-digit numbers
adding three one-digit numbers
(2C2b)
Add and subtract numbers using concrete objects and pictorial representations, including:
a two-digit number and ones
a two-digit number and tens
two two-digit numbers
adding three one-digit numbers
(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
using concrete objects and pictorial representations, including those involving numbers, quantities and measures
applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods
(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 (x), 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)
