Carry Year 1 ideas into Year 2

Year 2 starts from secure Year 1 understanding of counting, early calculation, practical maths language and familiar shapes. This preview keeps the most useful foundations visible before the full Year 2 sections open.

Previous year foundations

Number ideas to bring forward

Year 2 place value and counting feel much calmer when the Year 1 counting core is already secure.

  • Count to and across 100.
  • Count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10.
  • Find one more and one less.
From Year 1Number and place value

Previous year foundations

Calculation ideas to bring forward

Year 2 methods build from Year 1 actions, bonds and missing-number thinking rather than starting from scratch.

  • Understand add and minus as actions.
  • Represent and use number bonds within 20.
  • Solve missing number problems.
From Year 1Addition and subtraction

Previous year foundations

Practical maths ideas to bring forward

Early fraction language and practical comparison support the wider Year 2 work with measures and simple fractions.

  • Recognise one half.
  • Recognise one quarter.
  • Compare practical measures.
From Year 1Fractions and measurement

Previous year foundations

Shape and data ideas to bring forward

Year 2 asks children to describe and sort more precisely, so Year 1 visual language still matters.

  • Recognise common 2-D and 3-D shapes.
  • Describe position, direction and movement.
  • Sort, tally and read simple picture charts.
