Year 2 Maths Activity Grid

Year 2 maths skills checklist:

I can read and write numbers in numerals up to 100.
I can partition a two-digit number into tens and ones to demonstrate an understanding of place value,
though I may use structured resources to support me.
I can add and subtract two-digit numbers and ones, and two-digit numbers and tens, where no
regrouping is required, explaining my method verbally, in pictures or using apparatus (e.g. 23 + 5; 46 +
20; 16 – 5; 88 – 30).
I can recall at least four of the six number bonds for 10 and reason about associated facts (e.g. 6 + 4 =
10, therefore 4 + 6 = 10 and 10– 6 = 4).
I can count in twos, fives and tens from 0 and use this to solve problems.
I know the value of different coins.
I can name some common 2D and 3D shapes from a group of shapes or from pictures of the shapes and
describe some of their properties (e.g. triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, cuboids, cubes, pyramids and
spheres).
I can read scales in divisions of ones, twos, fives and tens.
I can partition any two-digit number into different combinations of tens and ones, explaining my
thinking verbally, in pictures or using apparatus.
I can add and subtract any 2 two-digit numbers using an efficient strategy, explaining my method
verbally, in pictures or using apparatus (e.g. 48 + 35; 72 – 17).
I can recall all number bonds to and within 10 and use these to reason with and calculate bonds to and
within 20, recognising other associated additive relationships (e.g. If 7 + 3 = 10, then 17 + 3 = 20; if 7 –
3 = 4, then 17 – 3 = 14; leading to if 14 + 3 = 17, then 3 + 14 = 17, 17– 14 = 3 and 17 – 3 = 14)
I can recall multiplication and division facts for 2, 5 and 10 and use them to solve simple problems,
demonstrating an understanding of commutativity as necessary.
I can identify 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/4, 3/4, of a number or shape, and know that all parts must be equal
parts of the whole.
I can use different coins to make the same amount.
I can read the time on a clock to the nearest 15 minutes.
I can name and describe properties of 2D and 3D shapes, including number of sides, vertices, edges,
faces and lines of symmetry.
