Maths worksheet: Divide by 10 with remainders

This maths worksheet contains a straightforward set of questions on dividing 2-digit numbers by ten, with remainders. It is aimed at children in Year 2 who are just getting to grips with division and know their ten times table.

The best way to do these is to go through the ten times table until the nearest whole ten below the number is found, then add on to reach the remainder. When dividing by ten the remainder can never be greater than ten.

Further division worksheets can be found both in the Four Rules section under Division or in the separate year groups under Calculating.

Year 2 Maths worksheet: Lines of symmetry

Folding to create symmetrical patterns is a popular past-time in schools. These maths worksheets for year 2 are quite tricky as they ask children to colour the correct spots on the other side of the line of symmetry to make sure that the shape is symmetrical.

Pegboards are a useful aid to this work, as is a mirror, which can be laid along the line, or axis of symmetry to see how the pattern continues.

Maths worksheet: Multiplication word problems for Year 2

This worksheet looks at multiplication word problems taken from real life situations. All the questions can be answered if the 2x table is known. There are picture illustrations on this page to help. Some children may use these to count up in twos, but being able to count up is not the same as knowing tables off by heart. Children who know the two times table will be able to answer far more quickly than those who have to count; and speed is something we are looking to encourage with mental maths.

Year 2 Calculations: Multiplication and shopping

Setting up a little shop and buying and selling things has always been a great part of early maths, but usually this activity is limited to adding up and giving change. It can be used equally well to reinforce multiplication skills, as this worksheet shows. Continue reading “Year 2 Calculations: Multiplication and shopping”

Year 2 maths worksheet: Multiplication in any order

Here we have a maths worksheet, one of a set from urbrainy.com, which looks at a vital part of understanding the process of multiplication: that it can be done in any order. This is also true of addition, but not of subtraction or division. Continue reading “Year 2 maths worksheet: Multiplication in any order”

Maths worksheet: multiplication as repeated addition

One of the best ways of explaining multiplication is to think of it as repeated addition. So, a multiplication such as 4 x 3 is the same as adding 4 three times (4 + 4 + 4) or 3 lots of 4. Of course, 3 lots of 4 is the same as 4 lots of 3 which implies that multiplication can be done in any order, unlike division or subtraction.

Year 2 Maths Worksheet: adding 3 small numbers (pg 2)

Year 2 Maths Worksheet: adding 3 small numbers

Here is a little twist on the usual adding three numbers type of worksheet. On this page the third number is missing but the answer is given. What makes this harder is that at least two mental calculations have to be made to reach a correct answer.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to add the first two numbers together and take that total away from the final answer.

Another way of doing this is to count back each of the two numbers in turn and a n umber line is provided for this method.

Year 2 maths worksheet: missing numbers on a number square

This is the second page which looks in detail at a 1-100 number square and is excellent practice at understanding place value as well as counting.

A small section of the whole number square, just 4 by 3 is taken and most of the numbers removed. The skill is in replacing the missing numbers.

This can be done in a variety of ways. Probably the easiest way is to work across as each number is one more than the number to the left. One of the more interesting ways is to work down as each number is 10 more than the number above.

Read the time to the half or quarter hour

Reading the time on an analogue clock face can prove very tricky for many children, especially if they have learning difficulties such as dyslexia. The problems usually occur when the minute hand has gone past the half hour so that we are looking forward to the next hour (eg a quarter to 9) rather than minutes past. We could say 45 minutes past 8, as it is technically correct, but no-one does! To complicate things even more, we do say 8:45 (eight forty five) when reading a digital clock!

This page, which can be found in Year 2 measures, just looks at quarter and half hours and can be used as a quick guide as to whether your child has grasped the concept.

Year 2 Maths Worksheet: know pairs that make 20

Here we have a straightforward maths worksheet on knowing pairs of numbers that add up to twenty. This is suitable for year 2 children or those who are already very confident with knowing pairs of numbers that make ten.

If these facts are not known there are several ways of working the answers out, including:

1. Counting on from the smaller number.

2. Counting on from the smaller number up to 10 and then adding another 10. (If smaller number is below 10.)

3. Counting back from 20, which is trickier.

A good follow up to this page is to ask how many different ways you can make 20 by adding just two numbers.
