Following the White Rose Maths scheme, Year 2 will cover two main blocks of learning over the course of the spring term: number (place value and addition and subtraction);and geometry (shape). As part of the White Rose Maths scheme, each block is broken down into a series of small learning steps. Combined, these small learning steps then cover all the curriculum content your child needs to know in small related chunks.
This term’s small learning steps for each block

| Geometry | Shape | Recognise 2d and 3d shapes, count sides on 2d shapes, count vertices on 2d shapes; draw 2d shapes; lines of symmetry; sort 2d shapes; count faces on 3d shapes; count edges on 3d shapes; sort 3d shapes; and make patterns with shapes. |
