Year 2 have worked hard in maths to gain a deep understanding of multiplication and division.
They have used counters to make groups and have learned how the representation of the groups can be expressed in different ways. Drawing groups and writing equations has helped them to explore their understanding, and creating arrays has helped them to relate the equations to each other. When learning specifically about the two times table, they have discussed what the numbers in the equations represent, supported further by the use of number lines. Stem sentences have helped them to express their understanding too.
“The three represents the number of groups and the two represents how many are in each group.” “I can see four groups of 2.” “The counters help me to remember the times and the divide.” “I like to draw jumps of two on the number line.”
“The children have enjoyed using counters and creating arrays to explore division and multiplication. They have loved dancing and singing to help them to learn the two times table and they have shown lots of thought and understanding when reasoning about the concepts. It is always a pleasure to see them working together to explore and investigate and to hear them listening to and building on each other’s ideas.” Mrs Stirk - Class teacher
The children previously knew their 3, 4 and 8 times table as they had learnt these in year 3. The children also knew their 2, 5 and 10 times tables and they had learnt these in year 2. Therefore we started the topic by going over these times tables and looking at patters to how we could use them to help us with trickier calculations. Such as using 5 x 6 and 1 x 6 to work out 6 x 6. The children used lots of counters, arrays and diagrams to help with their learning. Once the children became confident with this we then moved on to division and looked at the relationship between multiplication and division. The children soon learnt abut inverse and how using our multiplication can help us with our division. We then used counters and base ten to work out our division. We grouped and shared depending on what the question was asking us to do. Eventually, we moved on to looking at dividing with remainders. From this we are then going to move onto long multiplication and division next half term.
"It is really important to know your times tables. They help with lots of things!" "I now understand how to make a fact family using my multiplication and division facts" "My favourite activity is when we use the counting stick as it makes me remember the order of the numbers in a times table."
"The children showed real skill during our maths lessons this half term. They used counters, base ten and diagrams to understand the different methods of multiplication and division. I was so impressed with how the children worked together to problem solve and use mathematical terminology to discuss. The children are more confident in their multiplication and division and becoming more fluent." Miss Brennan Year 4 teacher.
Counting to 10
During our first couple of weeks in year 1 we have been revisiting numbers to 10. We have practised counting forwards and backwards within 10 and have started and stopped at given numbers. We have been following the Maths No Problem guidance. We have been comparing groups of objects within 10, saying which has more or less. We have been representing numbers in different ways using practical equipment, the numeral and the word. We enjoy working with our partner to talk about our ideas.
"I really enjoyed starting maths in year 1 and learning numbers to 10 again." 1LS child. "I really enjoy working with my partner and talking about our ideas. We can learn from each other." 1LS child. "It is easy to find the words if you use your phonics. Finding the numbers is easy because we know them from reception." 1LS child
The children have really impressed me with their mathematical knowledge. They have demonstrated an excellent understanding of numbers to 10 and are keen to learn. I have enjoyed watching the children working with their partners to solves problems and show their ideas. It is nice to see the children teaching their peers things. Miss Sunderland. 1LS class teacher.
