Our carefully-crafted Year 2 Maths Curriculum covers every strand of the Maths National Curriculum in meticulous detail and is designed to be taught chronologically to build on knowledge, skills, fluency and understanding. We have five Year 2 place value schemes of work:

  1. What's my number? 
  2. What is place value? 
  3. Let's use number patterns - FREE
  4. How can we compare numbers? 
  5. Let's solve place value problems

These five lesson packs work through all the number and place value objectives for the Year 2 Maths Curriculum and, when taught in order, will seamlessly build on prior learning. You can also pick and choose lessons to supplement your own Maths planning.


What's my number?

PlanBee What's My Number? Year 2 Maths Lesson Pack by PlanBee

Our first ready-to-teach Year 2 Place Value scheme of work is 'What's my number?'. This five-lesson pack focuses on representing numbers in different ways during the first three lessons before moving on to estimation and solving problems. Each lesson within the pack contains:

  • a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities
  • a slideshow for the teaching input
  • a range of printable resources for independent learning activities

The lessons are all aligned to the National Curriculum and covers the following objectives:

  • identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line
  • read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words

What is place value?

This fully-prepared Maths scheme of work explores tens and ones place value. Your Year 2 children will learn to identify the value of each digit in a two-digit number, then move on to ordering numbers using the 'greater than', 'less than' and 'equal to' symbols. The final lesson gives children the chance to consolidate what they've learnt by solving place value problems. Each lesson within the pack contains:

  • a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities
  • a slideshow for the teaching input
  • a range of printable resources for independent learning activities

The lessons are all aligned to the National Curriculum and covers the following objectives:

  • recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones)
  • identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line
  • compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use < > and = signs
  • use place value and number facts to solve problems

Let's use number patterns

This FREE ready-to-teach number and place value scheme of work for Year 2 challenges your children to order various sets of numbers, using their knowledge of place value.
