Year 2 maths, age 7 to 8

In Year 2, pupils extend their place value understanding to numbers up to at least 1,000 and become proficient in two-digit addition and subtraction. They explore early multiplication and division by sharing into equal groups and recalling basic two, five, and ten facts, while also dividing shapes and quantities into halves, quarters, and eighths. Pupils read time to the quarter-hour, count coin collections, and interpret column graphs.
