Year 2 maths

England · ages 6–7

Fluency to 100, the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, and the start of division.

What is expected

  • Add and subtract two-digit numbers confidently
  • Recall and use the 2, 5 and 10 times tables
  • Recognise that multiplication can be done in any order, and division cannot
  • Know number bonds to 20 by heart and use them to derive bonds to 100

A summary of typical expectations, not an official curriculum document. Your child’s school is the authority on what they are covering.

Practise it

Number facts are the part that has to be automatic — everything else in the year is slower and harder without them.
