Key Objectives for Numeracy: Year 2
- Count, read, write and order whole numbers to at least 100; know what each digit represents (including 0 as a place holder).
- Describe and extend simple number sequences (including odd/even numbers, counting on or back in ones or tens from any two-digit number, and so on).
- Understand that subtraction is the inverse of addition; state the subtraction corresponding to a given addition and vice versa.
- Know by heart all addition and subtraction facts for each number to at least 10.
- Use knowledge that addition can be done in any order to do mental calculations more efficiently.
- Understand the operation of multiplication as repeated addition or as describing an array.
- Know and use halving as the inverse of doubling.
- Know by heart facts for the 2 and 10 multiplication tables.
- Estimate, measure and compare lengths, masses and capacities, using standard units; suggest suitable units and equipment for such measurements.
- Read a simple scale to the nearest labelled division, including using a ruler to draw and measure lines to the nearest centimetre.
- Use the mathematical names for common 2-D and 3-D shapes; sort shapes and describe some of their features.
- Use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement.
- Choose and use appropriate operations and efficient calculation strategies to solve problems, explaining how the problem was solved.
