Our Year 2 Maths tutors focus on helping students achieve key outcomes, such as understanding place value to order and represent numbers up to 1000, using simple addition and subtraction strategies, and recognizing halves, quarters, and eighths in everyday contexts. We guide students in planning and solving practical problems, using various strategies to represent and calculate solutions. Our goal is to support students in developing mathematical reasoning and communicating their understanding using appropriate language and methods.
Number:
Students explore the relationships between addition and subtraction, learning to partition numbers and use strategies like doubles and near doubles for calculations. Our tutors guide them in understanding place value, helping them order and represent numbers accurately up to 1000 and solve problems using number lines and models.
Measurement:
Students learn to use informal units to measure length, capacity, and mass, and to read time on an analog clock to the hour, half-hour, and quarter-hour. Our tutors support them in comparing shapes and objects, using accurate measurement techniques and discussing their observations.
Geometry:
Students investigate the features of shapes and objects, learning to identify and describe their properties using terms like "parallel" and "curved." Our tutors help them understand spatial relationships and navigate simple maps, using directions to locate positions in familiar spaces.
Algebra:
Students explore patterns that increase or decrease by a constant amount, using objects and numbers to identify and continue these sequences. Our tutors support them in understanding how patterns can represent mathematical relationships and help them solve for missing elements.
Statistics:
Students collect, sort, and interpret data to answer simple questions, using lists, tables, and basic graphs. Our tutors guide them in understanding how to organise data and recognise trends, helping them communicate their findings clearly.
Mathematical Modelling:
Our tutors encourage students to use mathematical models to solve real-world problems, including money transactions and equal sharing. They support students in choosing appropriate strategies, representing their solutions with diagrams, and explaining their reasoning clearly.
