Level 2 - Subject Content
Level 2 follows on seamlessly from Level 1 of Maths For Life and builds on the scope and complexity of the topic in an incremental and logical way. All content at this level sits within the UK maths national curriculum of the Key Stage 1 and the beginning of Key Stage 2.
TOPIC 1 - USING NUMBERS AND THE NUMBER SYSTEM - WHOLE NUMBERS
1. Count reliably up to 100
2. Read, write, order and compare numbers up to 100
3. Understand place value of tens and ones
4. Recognise odd and even numbers up to 100
5. Understand and recognise ordinal numbers up to hundredth
6. Add two numbers which total up to 100
7. Subtract one- and two-digit numbers from numbers up to 100
8. Group numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10
9. Count on in 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 10s
10. Understand multiplication as repeated addition
11. Multiply numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10
12. Share numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10
13. Count back in 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s
14. Understand division as repeated subtraction
15. Divide numbers up to 100 by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10
16. Recognise and interpret the symbols +, -, x, ÷ and = appropriately
TOPIC 2 - USING COMMON MEASURES, SHAPE AND SPACE
17. Recognise, order and understand the value of all coins and notes in the context of the real world
18. Calculate money with pence up to one pound (p)
19. Calculate money in whole pounds up to £100 (£)
20. Know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute
21. Know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour
22. Read 12 hour digital and analogue clock in digital time
23. Read and record common date formats
24. Navigate an annual calendar in days, weeks and months forward and back
25. Read and use simple scales to the nearest labelled division
26. Use metric measures of length including millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres
27. Use measures of weight including grams and kilograms
28. Use measures of capacity including millilitres and litres
29. Use measures of positive temperatures in degrees
30. Recognise and name 2-D and 3-D shapes including pentagon, hexagon, cylinder, cuboid, pyramid and sphere
31. Describe the properties of common 2-D and 3-D shapes in the context of real life application
32. Use appropriate positional vocabulary to describe position and direction
TOPIC 3 - HANDLING INFORMATION AND DATA
33. Extract information from lists, tables, diagrams and bar charts
34. Make numerical comparisons from bar charts
35. Sort and classify objects using two criteria
36. Take information from one format and represent the information in another format
All Record of Progress, Content and Baseline Assessments use the same nomenclature reference that directly relates to the subject content. For example:
Topic 1 - 2. Read, write, order and compare numbers up to 100 will be 2L1.2 - Level 2, Topic 1, Subject 2
Topic 2 - 29. Use measures of positive temperatures in degrees will be 2L2.29 - Level 2, Topic 2, Subject 29
LEVEL 2 STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO:
use given mathematical information including numbers, symbols, simple diagrams and charts;
recognise, understand and use simple mathematical terms appropriate to Level 2;
use the methods given above to produce, check and present results that make sense; and
present appropriate explanations using numbers, measures, simple diagrams, simple charts and symbols appropriate to Level 2.
The context for simple problems at Level 2 should be familiar to all students and easily described.
