TRANSCRIPT
Using materials and a range of representations, pupils practise counting,
reading, writing and comparing numbers to at least 100 and solving a varie-
ty of related problems to develop fluency. They count in multiples of three
to support their later understanding of a third.
As they become more confident with numbers up to 100, pupils are intro-
duced to larger numbers to develop further their recognition of patterns
within the number system and represent them in different ways, including
spatial representations.
Pupils should partition numbers in different ways (for example, 23 = 20 + 3
and 23 = 10 + 13) to support subtraction. They become fluent and apply
their knowledge of numbers to reason with, discuss and solve problems
that emphasise the value of each digit in two-digit numbers. They begin to
understand zero as a place holder.

KEY THEMATIC IDEAS: connecting the strands and meeting National Curriculum aims SIMMERING SKILLS AND ACTIVITIES within and beyond the daily maths lesson
The main focus of this theme is the reinforcement of place value, pattern and number facts up to at least 100; and their application in solving problems and real-life situations. Building on the reading and recording of numbers in Year 1, pupils will read and write numbers to 100, comparing numbers with up to 3 digits using inequality symbols (<>), understanding place value and estimating quantities for the first time. Pupils will explore numbers within a range of representations and situations, [objects, pictorial representations, number lines, tracks and hundred squares, measuring scales, coins and so on], to develop a deep and robust conceptual understanding which can be transferred to different contexts. For example, to further an understanding of numbers up to at least 100, pupils may be measuring, comparing and recording measurements in grammes, millilitres or metres and/or centimetres. In Mr Small’s house, the door frame was only half a metre high. Find some furniture which could fit through. The application and derivation of addition and subtraction facts will be integral throughout this theme. Continuing from Year 1, pupils will count in multiples of 2,5 and 10, using number patterns and place value to make connections and deductions. Money, the clock face and other measuring scales will be used to underpin this understanding: Khadija has 10p, 10p, 5p, 5p, 10p in her purse. How much does she have altogether? When counting in multiples, the language of scaling should be used: Khadija has 10p four times, which makes 40p.

Number—Place Value
Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently
(and derive and use related facts up to 100.)
Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number,
forward and backward
Recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones)
Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different
representations, including the number line,
Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs
Read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words
Use place value and number facts to solve problems.
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
Number —Addition and Subtraction Measurement
Pupils practise addition and subtraction
to 20 to become increasingly fluent in
deriving facts such as using 3 + 7 = 10;
10 – 7 = 3 and 7 = 10 – 3 to calculate 30
+ 70 = 100; 100 – 70 = 30 and 70 = 100
– 30.
Pupils use standard units of measurement with
increasing accuracy, using their knowledge of the
number system. They use the appropriate lan-
guage and record using standard abbreviations.
N.C
.
Repeated from Year One Pupils should be taught to:
count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number
count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals; count in multiples of twos, fives and tens
given a number, identify one more and one less
identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least
read and write numbers from 1 to 20 in numerals and words.
Pupils are introduced to the multiplica-
tion tables. They practise to become
fluent in the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication
tables and connect them to each oth-
er. They connect the 10 multiplication
table to place value, and the 5 multipli-
cation table to the divisions on the
clock face.
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers

Children explore the different constituent parts of a number. They use a number line (and hundred square) in combination with manipulatives such as dienes, place value counters, coins etc. to represent and repartition the number. They record their findings symbolically and apply this to problem-solving, i.e.
74 = + 4
Counting round a clock face provides an excellent opportunity to count in multiples of five or ten.
Pupils can count up and down a metre stick, to 100, in ones or tens. There are many
“real-life”, cross-curricular opportunities, such as growing plants, in which measuring
can be combined with counting, grouping and ordering numbers.

KEY THEMATIC IDEAS: connecting the strands and meeting National Curriculum aims SIMMERING SKILLS AND ACTIVITIES within and beyond the daily maths lesson
The main focus of this theme is the development of mental and written methods of addition and subtraction, and the underlying understanding. This will be acquired through consistent exploration with representations and concrete objects, such as numicon, dienes, place value counters and hundred squares; alongside modelling to support jottings, such as number lines, and formalised written algorithms. Pupils will add and subtract 2 digit numbers using practical, informal methods; whereas partitioning, counting strategies and number facts will be used to calculate with 1 digit numbers or multiples of 10. As in Year 1, measurement and real‐life problems will provide a context for solving problems throughout this theme. In some instances, a particular method will be taught and a context selected to support that: i.e. the bar model will be used as a representation for “difference” through the comparison of lengths and amounts of money. In other cases, a problem will be used as an opportunity for children to explore and compare different methods, and examine relationships: Amy needs 72p. If she already has 25p, how could we work out how much more she needs? Is there a different way that we can do this? How will we record what we have done? Children will see, for example, that subtraction can be done by counting on or counting back, either on a number line or as a formalised number sentence. To highlight the relationship between the two operations, and in preparation for work on inverses in Theme 3, addition and subtraction concepts will be taught simultaneously.
Repeated from Year 1, Number: Addition and Subtraction: • read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs
• represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20 • add and subtract one‐digit and two‐digit numbers to 20, including zero • solve one‐step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as
3 = – 9. From Year 2 Programme of Study: • count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward • recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers
• interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables • ask and answer questions about totalling and comparing categorical data.

Addition and subtraction
Pupils extend their understanding of the language of addition and subtraction to include sum and difference.
Pupils practise addition and subtraction to 20 to become increas‐ingly fluent in deriving facts such as using 3 + 7 = 10; 10 – 7 = 3 and 7 = 10 – 3 to calculate 30 + 70 = 100; 100 – 70 = 30 and 70 = 100 – 30. They check their calculations, including by adding to check subtrac‐tion and adding numbers in a different order to check addition (for example, 5 + 2 + 1 = 1 + 5 + 2 = 1 + 2 + 5). This establishes commuta‐tivity and associativity of addition.
Recording addition and subtraction in columns supports place value and prepares for formal written methods with larger numbers.
• 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 near‐est appropriate unit, using rulers, scales, thermometers and measuring vessels
• compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using >, < and =
• recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); combine amounts to make a particular value
• find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money
• solve simple problems in a practical context involving ad‐dition and subtraction of money of the same unit, includ‐ing giving change
solve problems with addition and subtraction: • using concrete objects and pictorial representations, in‐
cluding those involving numbers, quantities and measures • applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written
methods • recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently,
and derive and use related facts up to 100 • add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial
representations, and mentally, including: ♦ a two‐digit number and ones ♦ a two‐digit number and tens ♦ two two‐digit numbers ♦ adding three one‐digit numbers
• show that addition of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and subtraction of one number from another cannot .

The main focus of this theme is the development of mental and written methods for addition and subtraction, to solve a variety of problems. Children will reason mathematically throughout the theme as they prove, justify, explain and present their thinking and calculations: Are these number sentences true or false? 98 – 18 = 70,46 + 77 = 123? Give your reasons. Pupils will further develop their reasoning skills and their understanding from theme 2, by investigating, and then demonstrating, their understanding of commutativity. If 13 +7=7 +13, then does 13‐7 = 7 –13. Why? Throughout this theme, pupils will be supported by a range of representations and through the recognition and application of the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. The use of the bar model will be extended from Theme 2, with it now providing a visual representation of inverse, as well as “difference”. Pupils will be required to use their knowledge of inverse to check their calculations and to solve missing number problems. (e.g. 45 + __ = 71) Pupils will keep a written record of their work with manipulatives, either with jottings or formal written methods. They will be developing fluency with extended, written methods of addition and subtraction. They will transfer their skills into a range of money and statistics related contexts. Lily had 46p. Mahnoor had 33p more. How much money did Mahnoor have? How will you check that you are correct? Tom buys a chocolate bar for 45p and a packet of crisp for 40p. He pays using a £1 coin. What coins could he get in his change? Try to find all the possible answers. How do you know you have got them all? Within the context of statistics, pupils will construct a variety of simple graphs (pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and tables) They could survey the class, e.g., If you were given £1 pocket money, what would you spend it on? and will interpret data from their own and others’ graphs.: How many more?, How many fewer?, What is the difference between…? What was the total of…..? are all question openers that require pupils to not only interpret data but to also apply their addition and subtraction skills.
Throughout Year 2, pupils will require daily practice of telling time to the nearest 5 minutes , comparing and sequencing intervals of time and discussing the equivalence between minutes and hours, hours and days.

The main focus of this theme is to develop children’s geometrical and measurement knowledge and fluency in the context of solving problems. Learning, during this theme, will be based around Christmas. Following on from their work in Year One, children will identify and sort a range of 2d/3d shapes in different orientations. Which 2d and 3d shapes can you find hanging on our Christmas Tree? How would you sort them? Children will develop their ability to confidently describe the properties of shapes ensuring correct vocabulary is used (sides, line of symmetry, edges, vertices, faces). Choose a present from Santa’s sack and describe its shape to a partner. How many presents in Santa’s sack have 4 or more vertices? Children will work with patterns of shapes and will explore position and direction concepts in practical contexts. Using the vocabulary clockwise, anti‐clockwise, quarter, half and three‐quarter turn, direct your friend to the secret Christmas present hidden in our classroom. Through practical exploration children will deepen their knowledge of measures. Order the Christmas presents from lightest to heaviest. Find me another elf half as high as this one. Opportunities to consolidate earlier addition and subtraction work should be exploited during this theme. Jasmine buys 1 candy cane and I choco‐late Santa. She pays using a £1 coin. How much change will she get?

Geometry—Properties of Shapes
• Identify and describe the properties of 2d shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line.
• Identify and describe the properties of 3d shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces.
• Identify 2d shapes on the surface of 3d shapes.
• Compare and sort common 2d and 3d shapes and everyday objects.
Pupils handle and name a wide variety of common 2‐D and 3‐D shapes including: quadrilaterals & polygons, and cuboids, prisms and cones, and identify the proper‐ties of each shape. Pupils identify, compare and sort shapes on the basis of their proper‐ties and use vocabulary precisely, such as sides, edges, vertices and faces. Pupils read & write names for shapes that are appropri‐ate for their word reading & spelling. Pupils draw lines and shapes using a straight edge.
• 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 & measuring vessels.
• Compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity & record the results using >, < and = .
• Recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); com‐bine amounts to make a particular value.
• Find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money.
• solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition & subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change.
Measurement
Pupils use standard units of measurement with increasing accu‐racy, using their knowledge of the number system. They use the appropriate language & record using standard abbreviations. Comparing measures includes simple multiples such as ‘half as high’; ‘twice as wide’. Pupils become fluent in counting and recognising coins. They read and say amounts of money confidently and use the symbols £ and p accurately, recording pounds and pence separately.

Geometry—Position and Direction
© Wandsworth & Merton Local Authorities, 2014
• Order and arrange combina‐tions of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences.
• 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).
Pupils should work with patterns of shapes, including those in different orientations. Pupils use the concept and language of angles to describe ‘turn’ by applying rotations, includ‐ing in practical contexts (for exam‐ple, pupils themselves moving in turns, giving instructions to other pupils to do so, and programming robots using instructions given in right angles).
Addition and Subtraction
• 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.
Pupils extend their understanding of the language of addition and subtraction to include sum and difference. Recording addition and subtraction in columns supports place value and prepares for formal written methods with larger numbers.

KEY THEMATIC IDEAS: connecting the strands and meeting National Curriculum aims
The main focus of this theme is to introduce pupils to multiplication tables, and then use them to solve both
multiplication and division problems. Children will already have experience of doubling and halving (&
quartering in fractional contexts), and counting in different steps. They will now take this a step further by
representing multiplication tables as patterns, both practically and visually. Children will explore patterns
found in repeated addition 4 x 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 …. 3, 6, 9, 12 … and record by highlighting multiples on a
number line, in a hundred square: can you describe the pattern? and on a clock face: is 43 a multiple of 5? How
do you know? They count forwards and backwards to answer multiplication and division questions, and use
counters and other objects in arrays to support the commutative aspect of multiplication 3 x 4 = 4 x 3 . This will
reinforce a clear understanding of the equals sign e.g. as a balance, either side has the same value as or ‘the
same value, but different appearance’, leading on to solving missing number (empty box) puzzles.
Multiplication and division facts (and doubling/halving) will be explored alongside each other 2 x 5 = 10, 10 ÷ 5
= 2 , ½ of 10 = 5, ⅕ of 10 = 2 as ‘fact families’. Children develop mental strategies to work out unknown facts,
for example, 8 x 4 = 8 x 2 x 2. Finding fractions of a quantity is explicitly related to division ¼ of 40 = 40 ÷ 4
though practical exploration building on fractions work in Year One (to be continued in theme 6). Regular
opportunities to practise and learn multiplication and division facts support their use to solve word problems
and problems involving fractions: I know 1/2 of 8 is 4 because I can double 4 to get 8.

Number ‐ Multiplication and Division
Pupils use a variety of language to describe multiplication and division.
Pupils are introduced to the multiplication tables. They practise to become fluent in the 2, 5 and 10 multi‐
plication tables and connect them to each other. They connect the 10 multiplication table to place value,
and the 5 multiplication table to the divisions on the clock face. They begin to use other multiplication
tables and recall multiplication facts, including using related division facts to perform written and mental
calculations.
Pupils work with a range of materials and contexts in which multiplication and division relate to grouping
and sharing discrete and continuous quantities, to arrays and to repeated addition. They begin to relate
these to fractions and measures (for example, 40 ÷ 2 = 20, 20 is a half of 40). They use commutativity and
inverse relations to develop multiplicative reasoning (for example, 4 × 5 = 20 and 20 ÷ 5 = 4).
• Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication, including recognising odd
and even numbers.
• Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write
them using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals (=) signs.
• Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of one num‐
ber by another cannot.
• Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental
methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts.
Number ‐ Fractions
Pupils connect unit fractions
to equal sharing and group‐
ing, to numbers when they
can be calculated, and to
measures, finding fractions
of lengths, quantities, sets of
objects or shapes. They meet
2/4 and 3/4 as the first ex‐
amples of non‐unit fractions.
Using materials and a range of representations, pupils
practise counting, reading, writing and comparing num‐
bers to at least 100 and solving a variety of related prob‐
lems to develop fluency. They count in multiples of three
to support their later understanding of a third.
As they become more confident with numbers up to
100, pupils are introduced to larger numbers to develop
further their recognition of patterns within the number
system and represent them in different ways, including
spatial representations

The main focus of this theme is to recognise, name and write the unit fractions ⅓ and ¼ and to introduce non‐unit fractions 2/4 and ¾. Through practical exploration children will continue to develop the concept of fractions being equal parts of a whole. They will explore the different ways paper rectangles can be halved and quartered by folding and cutting and learn to recognise and name the equal parts created; including counting more than 1 part to find 2/4 and ¾. This will also help children to see equivalence between halves and quarters. Building on work in Year 1, chil‐dren should be taught to recognise the name of the fraction family (denominator) first, by considering how many parts, in total, comprise one whole; and the symbolic recording of the fraction alongside this. In this way, pupils will begin to explore thirds as a family divided into 3 equal parts, find ⅓ practically and count in 3s on a number line. How many parts has this ribbon been divided into? How could we write the fraction of it that I am holding now? Pupils should recognise the link between multiplication and division, i.e. counting in 3s, sharing between 3 and finding 1/3. What fraction is left? How do you know? How do we write this? Throughout this theme, as in Year One, pupils will explore fractions of shapes, quantities, lengths and sets of objects (e.g., there are 4 of us, and 12 counters. We are going to share these counters equally. How many will we each have? Can we think of a number sentence, e.g. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, so a quarter of 12 is 3.) Still using pictorial models alongside, children will count in halves and quarters on a num‐ber line starting from different numbers. Let’s count in half centimetres up to 10cm. Look at how the 2x table is con‐nected to halves and doubles and explore how to find a quarter by halving and halving again, moving on to finding 3/4 by finding 3 parts. Find a quarter of this rectangle by halving and halving again. Now do the same to the number 8.

Fractions
Pupils use fractions as ‘fractions of’ discrete and continu‐ous quantities by solving problems using shapes, objects and quantities. They connect unit fractions to equal shar‐ing and grouping, to numbers when they can be calcu‐lated, and to measures, finding fractions of lengths, quantities, sets of objects or shapes. They meet 2/4 and 3/4 as the first example s of non‐unit fractions. Pupils should count in fractions up to 10, starting from any number and using the and equivalence on the num‐ber line (for example, 1 1/4 , 1
2/4 (or 1 1/2 ), 1
3/4 , 2). This reinforces the concept of fractions as numbers and that they can add up to more than one.

The main focus of this theme is to develop children’s conceptual understanding of time and its application in solving problems and real life situations. Building on time work in Year 1, children will work with a range of clocks , watches and pictorial representations to become proficient at telling and writing the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to the hour. They will be able to draw the hands on a clock face to show these times. Children should be presented with opportunities to problem solve around time‐telling and to compare and sequence time. These clocks show when Tim and Fateha’s lunch breaks start and end. Which child has the longer lunch break? Put these clocks in order from the earliest to latest time. What is the same and what is different about the times on these clocks ( half past twelve and six o’clock or nine fifteen and a quarter to three)? The application and derivation of time facts is vital to this theme alongside opportunities to reason about time. The time is 3:15pm. Kate says that in sixty minutes she will be at her football game which starts at 4:15pm. Is Kate right? Explain why. Learning will be reinforced by rehearsing aspects of time on other occasions during the school day. Show me the time the lesson started on this clock. Now show me the time the lesson finished. How long did that lesson take? Children may also benefit from a daily routine of counting in 5 minutes, quarter hour or half hour intervals using a counting stick (extended to 12 divisions) or around a clock face. In preparation for Year 3, in the latter part of this theme, children could be introduced to simple time interval calculations, using the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Cinderella begins cleaning the ugly sisters’ shoes at five minutes past one. She finishes at half past one. How long did this take? How could we work this out using a clock face? A number line? What was the time ten minutes be‐fore she began cleaning the shoes? Show this time on your clock face.

Can some of the key thematic ideas be delivered as part of a
mathematically‐rich, creative topic? Suggested ideas: Cinderella Use the story of Cinderella to explore time. Pupils create a time line of
Cinderella’s day. They draw pictures of the different activities she did and
draw the time on clocks to show when she started and finished each activ‐
ity. They calculate the time Cinderella took to complete different chores.
These two clocks show the time Cinderella started cooking dinner and the
time she finished. How long did it take her to cook dinner for the ugly sis‐
ters? Which chore took Cinderella the most/least amount of time? Pupils
plan the ball. They are given a list of what needs to happen before mid‐
night and plan how much time should be spent on each activity. They
draw on clocks the start and finish time for each activity. Pupils consider
how princesses, princes, wicked stepmothers or ugly step sisters spend
their time. They show this information on a time line or a chart, drawing
clocks to show when they start and finish each activity.

Minute Game (A game for 2 players)
You need:
• 2 counters or small cubes • 5 prizes • dice showing 5 mins/10mins/15 mins (adapt an ordinary dice) First of all put your counters on 12. When it’s your turn roll the dice and say the number of minutes. Move your counter clockwise that many minutes. (Remember, from one number to the next is 5 minutes). The rest of the game each time you land on, or pass, 12 you win a prize. The first person to collect 3 prizes wins the game.
In preparation for Year 3, children should use number lines to aid their calculations when solving time problems
NRICH— What is the time? Activity Can you put the times on these clocks in order?
Children need to work with a range of clock faces and should be provided with opportuni‐ties to label clock faces in dif‐
ferent ways.
Give the chidren a clock and set the time cards face
down in a pile. One child takes a time card and sets
the clock to that time. The other child checks it, if
correct, the card is kept, if not it is replaced in the
pile . The children change roles.
Children subtract and add time to design a schedule of events for a Carnival. They need to read the clues care‐fully. Children could be given clocks that show the time for each clue and the task could be to match the clock to the clue. 1. The show starts at 2pm. 2. At 4pm tea and cakes are sold. 3. 45mins before the cleaners finish, the gate is closed. 4. 15mins after tea and cakes, prizes are announced. 5. The cleaners finish at 6pm. 6. An hour after the show starts, the circus begins. 7. 30mins after the show starts the fun fair opens. 8. 15mins after the circus starts, the band pa‐
rades through the town
Use the Telling the Time ITP. This ITP can be used to show analogue time, digital time or synchronised analogue and digital clocks. The program allows you to add or subtract a selected time interval.

KEY THEMATIC IDEAS: connecting the strands and meeting National Curriculum Aims SIMMERING SKILLS AND ACTIVITIES within and beyond the daily maths lesson The main focus of this theme is for children to extend and deepen their prior understanding of 2d and 3d shapes and apply this understanding to solve geometrical problems. Pupils will need to build on their earlier experiences of geometry with specific teaching of symmetry and shape vocabulary: Describe this shape to your partner without telling them its name. In order to develop their fluency in identifying and describing the properties of 2d and 3d shapes, children should be provided with regular opportunities to explore shapes using a range of real life, concrete objects and pictorial representations. Model making activities using equipment such as plasticine, straws, construction kits or geoboards will enable children to deepen and consolidate their knowledge of shapes. I used one square and 4 equal sized triangles to make my 3d shape. What’s my shape? Show me a shape on your geoboard that has a line of symmetry. Interpreting and constructing a range of diagrams (Venn, Carroll and tree—not in the NC, but very relevant here), charts and tables will help children distinguish and reason about the properties of shape. What headings could we use for this venn diagram? Construct a chart to show how many of each shape we found outside. Children will sort and compare shapes, including different varieties of the same shape and shapes in different orientations. Show me what my triangle will look like after a three quarter turn clockwise. Problem solving tasks should be designed to exploit previous knowledge learnt in other themes, such as patterns and sequences, measure and number. Draw the next 5 shapes in this pattern. Arrange your set of solids in order of height/weight. Can you find other ways of ordering them? Through their explorations of shapes, pupils will further embed the concepts of mental calculation: I have some shapes in my bag. Altogether there are 18 vertices. What shapes could I have in my bag?

Geometry—Properties of Shapes
• Identify and describe the properties of 2d shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line.
• Identify and describe the properties of 3d shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces.
• Identify 2d shapes on the surface of 3d shapes.
• Compare and sort common 2d and 3d shapes and everyday objects.
Pupils handle and name a wide variety of common 2‐D and 3‐D shapes including: quadrilaterals and polygons, and cuboids, prisms and cones, and identify the properties of each shape. Pupils identify, compare and sort shapes on the basis of their properties and use vocabulary precisely, such as sides, edges, vertices and faces. Pupils read and write names for shapes that are appropriate for their word reading and spelling. Pupils draw lines and shapes using a straight edge.
• Choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length to the nearest appropriate unit, using rulers.
• Solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit including giving change.
Measurement
Pupils use standard units of measurement
with increasing accuracy, using their
knowledge of the number system. They use
the appropriate language and record using
standard abbreviations.
Comparing measures includes simple
multiples such as ‘half as high’; ‘twice as wide’.

• Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences.
• 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).
Pupils should work with patterns of shapes, including those in different orientations. Pupils use the concept and language of angles to describe ‘turn’ by applying rotations, including in practical contexts (for example, pupils themselves moving in turns, giving instructions to other pupils to do so, and programming robots using instructions given in right angles).

Can some of the key thematic ideas be delivered as part of a
mathematically‐rich, creative topic? Suggested ideas: The Shape Store Children set up a Shape Store in the class‐room. Customers come to buy a shape but they have forgotten its name. They have to describe the shape to the shopkeeper. Children arrange shapes in pat‐terns to display in the front window of the store. Can the customers guess the pattern rule? Customers order 3d shapes that need to be sent in the post. The store sends the shapes “flat packed”. “Flatten” the shapes using polydron ( or a similar modelling material) ,identify or draw the nets that will make the ordered 3d shapes. The cost of 2d shapes is determined by how many sides the shape has. 50p for each side. How much would a pentagon, octagon and hexagon cost? Look at the pricelist. I have £5 to spend. What shapes can I buy? All shapes that roll are being sold at half price. What’s their new cost? Design a castle made out of 3d shapes. How many of each shape do you need?

Loop of String Children work in small groups. Give each group a length of string. What shape can you make if everyone holds a corner? Can you make a shape with all sides the same length? How many lines of symmetry does your shape have? Recordings of the findings can be made using drawings or sticking down the string on big sheets of paper and making a display for the classroom wall. See NRICH Website for Mrs Trimmer’s String and Stringy Quads. Both are activities based on this idea.

KEY THEMATIC IDEAS: connecting the strands and meeting National Curriculum aims SIMMERING SKILLS AND ACTIVITIES within and beyond the daily maths lesson The main focus of this theme is to develop children’s reasoning through the exploration of sequences and patterns. It is expected that children will not only identify a sequence or pattern and continue it, but will also reason about it. Initially, children will discuss and observe a set of numbers or shapes, guided by probing questions, to analyse whether there is a sequence or pattern rule; before moving on to proving, justifying, explaining and presenting their thinking and calculations. For example: 46, 51, 56 ... What’s the same/different about this sequence? What calculation would I do to find the next number? Explain how you know. Children should experience sequences and patterns within our number system to help embed a deeper understanding of place value and number facts. Listing, and visualising numbers on a 100 square will help them with this. True or False ‐When you count up in tens starting at 5 there will always be 5 ones. Continue the pattern, 90=100‐10, 80=100‐20, 70=100‐30 Explain what is happening. Exploring patterns in the 2, 5 and 10 times tables will help children develop their multiplication and division fluency. Look at where I am placing my counters on the hundred square. What am I counting in? How can you tell from the pattern I make? What is happening to the ones digit? Pupils will also count in 3s from 0, pattern spotting and using multiple representations e.g. numicon, 100 square.Opportunities to build on prior learning are exploited in this theme as children are presented with a wide variety of sequences and patterns to explore. ¼of 4=1, ¼of 8=2, ¼ of 12=3. Continue the pattern. What do you notice? Name the 2d shapes that come next in this pattern and tell me about their properties. Number sequences and patterns can be made real by applying them to problem solving in familiar contexts, such as in nature or on a calendar. Kevin has just started karate lessons. He has a lesson every six days. His first lesson is on a Monday. On which day of the week will his fourth lesson fall?

• Use place value and number facts to solve problems.
• Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line.
Using materials and a range of representations, pupils practise counting, reading, writing and comparing numbers to at least 100 and solving a variety of related problems to develop fluency. They count in multiples of three to support their later understanding of a third. As they become more confident with numbers up to 100, pupils are introduced to larger numbers to de‐velop further their recognition of patterns within the number system and represent them in different ways, including spatial representations. They become fluent and apply their knowledge of numbers to reason with, discuss and solve problems that emphasise the value of each digit in two‐digit numbers.
• Order and arrange combinations of mathe‐matical objects in patterns and sequences.
• Use mathematical language to describe po‐sition, direction and movement, including movements in a straight line and distinguish‐ing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three quarter turns (clockwise and anti‐clockwise).

• Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers.
Pupils extend their understanding of the language of addition and subtraction to include sum and difference. Pupils practise addition and subtraction to 20 to become increasingly fluent in deriving facts such as using 3 + 7 = 10; 10 – 7 = 3 and 7 = 10 – 3 to calculate 30 + 70 = 100; 100 – 70 = 30 and 70 = 100 – 30.

KEY THEMATIC IDEAS: connecting the strands and meeting National Curriculum Aims SIMMERING SKILLS AND ACTIVITIES within and beyond the daily maths lesson The main focus of this theme is to develop children’s mathematical skills to interpret and construct a range of simple graphs (pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables) and to ask and answer questions about the data presented in graphs. Children will be involved in a range of activities that encompass all areas of the data handling cycle and which make links to other areas of the curriculum and their everyday lives. For example, presenting children with a hypothesis to investigate, such as Boys in Year 2 eat more fruits and vegetables than girls in Year 2 requires them to collect, record, represent and analyse real data in a meaningful way. Children should be taught how to collect and represent data efficiently and opportunities to use ICT should be exploited (see back page). Children will be encouraged to make links between number lines and scales on graphs. Multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables will be applied when reading and constructing simple graphs. In Raheem’s graph, 1 orange represents 10 people. To represent 30 people he said he needs to draw 3 oranges. Is he correct? Show me how you know. How many groups of 5 do I have in my tally chart? The exploration of graphs will also enable children to reason about data. True or False—The bar chart tells me twice as many people like strawberry than lime. Throughout the theme, children will be presented with statistical data activities which require them to apply their measurement skills. How many jumps can you do in a minute? How many hops? Can we tabulate? They will also use addition and subtraction to solve problems. I sorted my 2p, 5p, 10p coins into this graph. Altogether how much money do I have?

tiplication and division relate to grouping and sharing discrete and
continuous quantities, to arrays and to repeated addition. They begin
to relate these to fractions and measures (for example, 40 ÷ 2 = 20, 20
is a half of 40). They use commutativity and inverse relations to de‐

Measurement
• 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 . • Recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); com‐bine amounts to make a particular value.
• Solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit.
Pupils use standard units of measurement with increasing
accuracy, using their knowledge of the number system. They use
the appropriate language and record using standard abbrevia‐
tions. Comparing measures includes simple multiples such as
‘half as high’; ‘twice as wide’.
Pupils become fluent in counting and recognising coins. They
read and say amounts of money confidently and use the symbols
£ and p accurately, recording pounds and pence separately.

KEY QUESTION ROOTS to be used and adapted in different contexts What is the same? What is different?.... Pictogram, Bar Chart (with given topic/data) Do, then explain …. Draw the correct number of tally marks in the chart to represent your data. Explain your thinking. Tell me the story….. What does the information in this graph tell us about how children travel to school? True or False ‐ ….. More people travel to school by car than walk. Make up your own true or False statement about the pictogram. Possibilities...Twice as many children like chocolate than strawberry. Draw the bars on the chart to represent how many children like strawberry and how many like chocolate. If I know….. That 1 image in the pictogram represents 5 people, then how can I work out.. How many people like foot‐ball? Show me …. How to draw the bars on this chart to represent my data. Odd One Out… Which bar has been drawn incorrectly? How do you know? Is it possible …. If each image represents 2 people. Is it possible to represent 9 people on this pictogram? How? Prove it…. Three fewer people like bananas than apples.
Can some of the key thematic ideas be delivered as part of a
mathematically‐rich, creative topic? Suggested ideas: Visiting the Seaside
Children can work in groups to design a visit to the seaside. They collect data from a variety of people about their favourite things to do at the seaside, what they like to eat there, how much they would want to spend on a day out to the seaside, how far they would be prepared to travel, etc. Children can produce a variety of graphs for the data they have col‐lected. They can then use this information to design a visit to the seaside. They can design a timetable for the day and produce brochures advertis‐ing their day out. Children can work in groups to make different flavoured ice cream to sell at the seaside. Children in another class can taste their ice cream and vote for their favourite. Children can produce graphs to show the results.

Non Routine Problem ‐
Noah watched the animals going into the ark. He was counting and by noon he got to 12, but he was only counting the legs of the ani‐mals. How many creatures did he see? Can find other answers? Tell someone how you found these answers out.

Using ICT Data Loggers—There are a variety of different types available that enable children to collect accurate data efficiently. How can we find the quietest place in the school? Use sound level meters to record sound levels in different places at the same time of day? How can we turn these into bar graphs? What do they tell us? Data Handling ITP and Create a Graph Web‐sites—Useful website that enable teachers and children to create their own graphs. Create an interactive whiteboard file— Create a file containing the children’s names or photo‐graphs. Children can drag and drop the their name/photo into the correct place on a table, pictogram, or block graph during registration to create data that shows how many children are having sandwiches, school dinner, etc.
Create pictograms quickly in groups or as a class. Initially create pictograms using real data, for example ask children to take off one shoe and organise them into rows of shoes with laces, buckles, Velcro strap, etc. Children can then draw their shoe on sticky notes and take it in turns to place it in the correct place on a large paper picto‐gram. This will quickly generate a set of class data and provide opportunities for questions to be asked.
Ensure that children experience exam‐ples of block graphs and pictograms where the information is represented horizontally, as well as examples where they are represented vertically.
Work with 5 friends. Each choose 6 books from the bookshelf and care‐fully measure each one. Record the height of the books in a chart using the headings(<15cm, 15‐19cm, 20‐24cm, 25‐29cm, >30cm). Convert the information in the chart into a block graph.
Children work in groups. You will need a dice marked 1 –10. Each child rolls the dice to find out how much money they have won. Each one wins the number of 5p coins shown on the dice. Children can play several rounds before totalling their winnings. Construct a graph to show how much money each child in the group won.
Give children database cards about animals (maybe children can research and create their own cards). Cards can include informa‐tion about the animals weight, height , number of young, aver‐age lifespan, etc. Children can sort the information into differ‐ent types of tables and graphs. For example, Construct a table to sort your animals into those Taller than 1 metre/Shorter than 1 metre.
How many more years does an African elephant live compared to a baboon?
How many fewer years does the cheetah live compared to the zebra?
What is the difference between a
giant panda and baboon’s life span?
Create human graphs with children. It is a great way to help children learn about the scales on a graph and what they represent.
Interpret pictograms where multi‐ples of 2, 5 and 10 are used.
