This Year 2 Spring 1 Week 2 Maths in Minutes resource is designed to help keep your children's knowledge and maths skills razor sharp. As it is intended to be used in the spring term, it recaps some objectives from Year 1, but the majority are from Year 2.

It can be displayed on an interactive whiteboard and used in a variety of ways, for example, as early morning work or as an introductory activity at the beginning of a lesson.

There are three sets of questions for the week. Each set has four questions made up of two calculation questions, one geometry and one measure. Get downloading!
