Fabulous Fractions 😀
Spring 2: Week 1
Year 2 have been busy getting to grips with finding fractions of amounts in Maths since we returned from half term. Using pictures to help us has really helped to improve our knowledge and understanding and some of the tricky fraction vocabulary.
3D Shapes and Big Questions
In Maths we love a big question in Year 2 where we try to find out and explain the answer! We enjoy trying to prove who is right or wrong with our maths partners using the mathematical vocabulary we have learnt already and use our prior knowledge.

Vocabulary to Compare Numbers
Year 2 recalled vocabulary to compare different numbers today. We created our own working wall in the classroom of this vocabulary 😀
Rounding to the nearest ten!
Year 2 have been using number lines to help find the nearest ten that a 2 digit number will round to today. We enjoyed using maths talk with our partners to find the correct answers.
Reasoning in Maths

In Maths we have been using our place value knowledge to place numbers on a number line. We have improved our skills with number lines by estimating where numbers would go if they don’t just go up in 1’s.
How can we make 10 in many different ways?
We have enjoyed exploring different ways of making 10 with our maths buddies and discussing what this looks like on our 10 frames to help us get speedy with our number bonds!
