Year 2: how to support your child’s maths learning at home.
To help with children’s learning, we would encourage them to develop their understanding of these facts and mental strategies. The table below builds upon learning and understanding from previous years and gives children the foundations for their learning to come. A solid understanding of these concepts can support children on their mathematical learning journey and support new learning for new up and coming mathematical concepts.
This is our yearly overview of our topics in maths

NumBots is a new mathematical website we now subscribe to and will support your child’s understanding and rapid recall of addition and subtraction facts.
Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice. Each week may concentrate on a different times table, with a recommended consolidation week for rehearsing the tables that have recently been practised. This format has very successfully boosted times tables recall speed for hundreds of thousands of pupils both primary and secondary - worldwide.

Key Stage 1 Mathematics Test
Usually in May, children in year 2 will take their end of key stage 1 SAT tests. These include two mathematics tests: an arithmetic paper and a reasoning paper. Throughout the year, children will be exposed to the range of questions they may find on these in lessons throughout the year.
Arithmetic Paper
This consists of 25 one mark questions where quick and calculation is needed.
The children are given around 20 minutes to complete the test but it is not strictly timed. They may be given a break during the administration if needed.
The questions are numbered and have space for the children to complete their working out
Reasoning Paper
This consists of one and two mark questions which test children’s mathematical thinking, problem solving and reasoning abilities.
The children are given around 35 minutes to complete around 35 questions but it is not strictly timed. They may be given a break during the administration if needed
There are a range of different question types in this paper. They are numbered and have space for the children to do their working out.
Examples
Please look at the slide show below for some example questions for the arithmetic and reasoning paper.
