Year 2 Maths Vocabulary 

Term 5

Maths Learning Term 3

This term we are learning about multiplication and division. 

They will be working on quick recall of the 2s, 5s and 10s times tables and should use the Timestables Rockstars as much as possible. They need to know that multiplication is commutative e.g. 2 X 5 = 10 so 5 X 2 =10 and that multiplication and division are linked e.g. 10  2 = 5 and 10  5 = 2.  Some good websites are www.topmarks.co.uk  where they can play Hit the Button or Daily 10 to improve their basic number skills and BBC super movers as well as many others. 

We would also like you to support your children in learning to tell the time, starting with o'clock and half past but then understanding quarter past and finally quarter to.  Please encourage them to watch this clip about telling the time vocabulary

Once they are confident with these concepts, can they tell the time in 5 minutes or work out the duration of events such as "A cake needs to be baked for 30 minutes, if it is put in the oven at 2.10pm, when will it be ready?"

Please speak to your teacher if you need further information on this or any maths learning.
