Year 2 Big idea 1: Count, compare and order numbers (to at least 100)
Fluency Reasoning Problem solving
Exemplification of fluency
• Count in steps from different
starting points, forwards and
backwards
• Represent numbers conceptually
• Represent numbers pictorially
• Partition numbers in different ways
• Order numbers smallest to largest,
largest to smallest
Exemplification of reasoning
• Use mathematical language: equal to, more
than, less than, most, least
• Use the symbols of greater than, less than
and equal to, to convince whether number 5
is greater than 7
• Using counting bears, Numicon, multi link etc
convince me that 7 is odd, 34 is even.
• Reason which number comes next in the
sequence 55, 60, 65, 70 …
Exemplification of problem solving
• Choose which number to start counting
from
• Recognise and talk about patterns in a
counting sequence
• Spot a missing number in a sequence
and explain why
• Decide how to check if the answer is
correct
• Recognise mathematical connections
between numbers and patterns of
numbers
• Identify, organise and interpret information correctly

Year 2 Big idea 1: Count, compare and order numbers (to at least 100)
Possible activities to exemplify fluency
• Count forwards in 2’s from 7
• Count backwards in 10’s from 93
• Number 5 represented through 5
counters, Numicon, Cuisenaire,
dice, base 10
• Number 5 marked on a number
line, 5 marks, identified on a 100
square
• 25 = 20 + 5, 10 + 10 + 5, 19 + 6
Possible activities to exemplify reasoning
• 58 is odd because the digit 5 is an odd
number. Is this true?
• Write all the 2-digit numbers greater than 40
using these digits: 2 4 6 6. How do you know
you have them all? Prove it
Source: NCETM Mastery Booklet
• Amy thinks of a number. Her number: is an
even number, is between 20 and 25, has two
different digits. What is her number? Explain
your reasoning.
Source: NCETM Mastery Booklet
Possible activities to exemplify problem solving
• Here is a list of shoe sizes for the
children in Class 2. Can you put them in
order? How will you order them?
• The numbers have fallen off the
hundred square. Can you put them
back on in the right order? Where did
you start? Which number did you start
with? Which was the hardest number to
place?
Source: NRICH - Hundred Square
• Jo has £2·29.She only has £1 coins,
10p coins and 1p coins. How many of
each coin does she have? Can you
suggest a different answer?

Year 2 Big idea 1: Count, compare and order numbers (to at least 100)
• Steve says, ‘My number has two tens
and five ones.’ What is Steve’s
number? Amy has two more tens than
Steve. What is her number? Sam says,
‘My number has five tens.’ What
numbers can it be? What numbers can’t
it be?
Source: NCETM Mastery Booklet
• What might the next two dominoes be in
each of these sequences? Can you
explain why you chose those two
dominoes?

Big idea 2:
Recognise and use the positional and additive aspects of place value (2 digit numbers)
Fluency Reasoning Problem solving
Exemplification of fluency
• Recognise the positional place
value of each digit in tens and ones
• Recognise the additive place value
of each digit so that when the
individual values of the digits are
added together they total the whole
number (e.g. 100 + 40 + 8 = 148)
•
Understand the position of zero as
a place holder
Exemplification of reasoning
• Explain what each digit in the number 55
represents
• Convince a friend what each digit is worth in
64
• Look at these numbers 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36,
37, 38, 39. What do you notice?
Exemplification of problem solving
• Use knowledge of place value to solve
problems
• Work systematically to notice patterns
in numbers
• Invent different ways of recording to
show the place value of numbers

www.educatorsolutions.org.uk or call 01603 307710
Big idea 2:
Recognise and use the positional and additive aspects of place value (2 digit numbers)
Possible activities to exemplify fluency
• The number 45 is made up of …..?
• How many tens are there in the
number 67?
• 15 could be expressed as 5 + - ?
Possible activities to exemplify reasoning
• Explain why there are not 4 tens in the
number 36
• Use a mathematical resource to show how
the number 25 can be represented (e.g.
Numicon, bead string, counters)
• I am thinking of a number. It has 3 tens. What
could the number be?
Possible activities to exemplify problem solving
• When we use the digit 9 in a number it
will always be a big number in value.
Write down some numbers that would
show this, and also some numbers that
would not
• If the answer has a 6 in it, what could
the number be?
• Using an abacus with two spikes, how
many numbers can you make with 4
rings?

www.educatorsolutions.org.uk or call 01603 307710
Big idea 3:
Develop number sense to support mental calculation
Fluency Reasoning Problem solving
Exemplification of fluency
• Count forwards and backwards
• Reorder numbers
• Partition numbers in as many
different ways as possible
• Bridge through multiples of 10
• Use doubles and near doubles
• Use counting and subitising skills
• Use jottings when needed
Exemplification of reasoning
• Discuss if counting forwards or counting
backwards is easier
• Explain how a calculation can be more easily
worked out by changing the order of the
numbers
• Predict if counting forwards or counting
backwards is more efficient in solving the
question 23 + 9. Test out your conjecture
• Use the vocabulary of doubles, place value,
digits, partitioning, etc
Exemplification of problem solving
• Solve a problem by counting and then
solve it by calculating. Which is easier?
More efficient?
• Use knowledge of numbers to solve
problems
• Use different strategies to solve
problems (e.g. a number line,
partitioning numbers, counting forwards
and backwards)
• Use the inverse to support a calculation
(e.g. 54 – 47)

find a friend! Together count from 1 up

clapping more loudly and speaking
loudly on the numbers in the two times
table, and quietly on the other
numbers. Now clap the five times table
together up to about 30, so this time
you are clapping more loudly and
speaking loudly on the multiples of five
and quietly on the others. If one of you
claps the twos in this way and one of
you claps the fives, at the same time,
can you predict what you would hear?
