Primary Two – Developing First Level

Number and Number Processes

• Rote count 20, 50, 100• Counting patterns. Count in 2s 5s 10s• Recognise figures to 100• Locate numbers on a 100 square• Add and subtract numbers to 20 (mentally)• Identify doubles within 20• Use 1p 2p 5p 10p coins to pay for items. Calculate

change from 20p then 50p - maths in a context

Primary Three – Consolidating First LevelNumber and Number Processes

• Rote count to 100 from any given number – forwards and backwards

• Order up to 5 numbers within 100. Give nos. before/ after• Write all figures to 100. Identify number patterns on 100 sq. • Identify even / odd numbers• Mentally add and subtract 1 digit no. to 2 digit no numbers. (36+7)• Complete written calculations with 2 digit numbers (tens and units)• Addition to 100 without then with carrying a ten• Subtraction from 99 without then with exchanging a ten• Use 2op 50p then £1 coins to pay for items. Calculate change from

50p then £1 - maths in a context• Introduce times tables - 2x, 5x,10x then 3x and 4x• Introduce division by 2, 5 .10 then 3 and 4 (without remainders)

Oral / Mental Maths Strategies

Number and Number Processes• Big Maths Beat That – ‘Learn Its’ and weekly challenge

in terms 2 and 4.• P2- 30 seconds.(17 sums) P3- 90 seconds (40 sums)• Switcher facts - eg. 7 + 6 =13, 6 + 7 =13• Fact Families 7 + 6 = 13 6 + 7 = 13 13 - 7 = 6 13 - 6 = 7• Jigsaw numbers• Whiteboards - show me ‘brainscanners’• Getting pupils to explain their answers/ strategies used• Estimate / Calculate / Check – a reasonable answer?

How can you help at home?• Practise ‘Learn Its’ / Times tables (P3) with your child.• Ask them to give switcher fact/ fact family of a given

sum.• Numbers before / after , 10 more than 26 , 34 etc• Frequently ask them to tell time (digital and analogue)

Time - o’ clock / half past (P2) - quarter past / to (P3)• Provide opportunities to count out amounts of money /

calculate change.• Identify and use 3D shape names eg shopping items etc.• Websites: Mad 4 Maths, BBC Bitesize ( first level), Woodlands Junior School maths Zone ICT games
