Explore Year 2 Maths – Number and Place Value with PrimaryLeap

At PrimaryLeap, we aim to make learning number and place value engaging and effective for Year 2 pupils. According to the UK curriculum, Year 2 students will expand their understanding of numbers and place value through interactive and enjoyable activities. They will:

• Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forwards and backwards: This helps children build a solid foundation in number sequences and improves their ability to count fluently.
• Recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones): Pupils will learn to identify the value of each digit, enhancing their understanding of how numbers are constructed.
• Identify, represent, and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line: Students will use various tools to visualise and estimate numbers, aiding their comprehension.
• Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs: Children will develop skills in comparing and ordering numbers, using mathematical symbols to represent their comparisons.
• Read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words: This reinforces number recognition and literacy, helping students become proficient in reading and writing numbers.
• Use place value and number facts to solve problems: Pupils will apply their knowledge of place value and number facts to tackle various mathematical problems.

Our colourful and interactive worksheets are designed to support these learning objectives, making maths both fun and accessible for young learners. These printable and downloadable resources can be used in lessons at school or for practice at home.

Here are just a few of the engaging worksheets we offer:

Counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s: Check your child's understanding of counting in 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s with this handy maths printable. Children fill in the missing numbers in each sequence, practising their counting skills. An answer sheet is included for quick marking or to help children practise marking their own or a friend's work.

Tens and Ones Activity: This activity helps KS1 students understand the place value of numbers by counting groups of tens and ones. Using place value is an essential maths skill, and this colourful worksheet builds confidence in this area.

Compare Numbers (In Words) Using <, > And =: This resource helps students compare numbers written in words from 0 up to 100 using <, >, and = signs. Pupils place the correct comparison symbol in the circles to complete the mathematical statements, improving their ability to recognise and read numbers in words.
