Hello Year 2!
w.c. 6.7.20
This week in maths we are going to stay away from BBC Bitesize. This is because the content for this week is another topic we haven’t taught yet in year 2.
This week, we’re going to recap some of our learning about Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division (the four mathematical operations):
Adding numbers (up to 2-digits by 2-digits)
Subtracting numbers (up to 2-digits by 2-digits)
Odd and Even numbers
Counting in steps of 2, 3, 5 and 10
As always, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or would like to show us some of the things you have been up to: year2@irelandwood.leeds.sch.uk

This week in maths we are going to move away from BBC Bitesize. This is because the content for the next couple of weeks on Bitesize are topics which we haven’t taught yet in year 2. As a school, we have decided to focus our ‘distance learning’ work on things which we have taught so that we are helping the children to embed their knowledge and understanding.
This week, we’re going to recap some of our learning about Number and Place Value:
Comparing objects
Comparing numbers
Ordering numbers
Placing numbers on a number line

This week in maths we’re learning about shape! I can’t recommend BBC Bitesize enough this week. It’s got helpful videos and practical activities which will really useful when learning about shape. I’d also encourage you to do some other practical learning this week such as going on a 2D or 3D shape hunt around your house or local area. You could take pictures and make them into a collage.

Please see attached. Before you start take a look at the documents titled understanding division and how to divide using the grouping and sharing method. Children are used to dividing by sharing equally but in Year 2 we also teach the to divide using the grouping method. The pictorial representations look quite different but the answer is the same! I have also attached links to websites setting out the methods as well. I think it will benefit the children if they watch these first. I have numbered the work in order. If possible, please complete the first task with concrete objects. Try your best and if the work is tricky use your Mindfulness breathing and have another go! Our email address is - Year2@irelandwood.leeds.sch.uk Don't forget to have a look at BBC bitesize - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons
Please see attached. Before you start have a look at the strategy sheet. We have set out how multiplication is taught in Year 2. There is also a handy number square to help with timetables. We have also attached a starter activity for you you to discuss with your Grown Up before you start - just like we do at school! We would advise you to start with the repeated addition sheet, then move on to the arrays before trying the word problems. Remember to take your time and don't worry if you find the work tricky - just do your best! If you have any queries please contact us on - Year2@irelandwood.leeds.sch.uk
Hello 2S and 2T! We hope you are enjoying your distance learning. Please try your best and don't worry if you find it tricky. We have tried to explain different methods to help you understand.

A quick guide to show you how the mathematical operations are taught in year 2.
Hello 2S and 2T! Complete this maths work to the best of your ability. Don't worry too much if you find it tricky.
