Primary 2 Time Activities
Tuesday 8th December Primary 2 Numeracy
Good morning
For today’s numeracy begin by showing your grown up that you can count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Remember you can make use of Youtube videos such as The Singing Walrus and Scratch Garden.
Let us continue our focus on time. today I would like you to demonstrate that you can show an hour earlier or later. This can be done with digital time as well.
Have a look around your house, do you have any clocks analogue or digital? Do you have the time on objects that are not clocks? You could draw some of the things you have found in your home that show the time. Can you draw the object again and show the time an hour earlier or later.
Remember in primary two we have been learning o’clock and half past. You may know some other times as well.
Friday 4th December Primary 2 Numeracy
For numeracy today I would like you all to try some mental maths questions. You could write your answers on a whiteboard or some paper.
Questions
- Double 7?
- What is one less than 9?
- What is the difference between 14 and 18?
- Dave has 5 cars, Jack has 10 cars, how many more does Jack have?
- What is the sum of 13 and 6?
- Subtract 4 from 12.
- I am driving my bus , three people get on at the first stop, at the next stop 5 people get on , at the last stop 2 people get off. How many people are on the bus.
- What is half of 16?
- 19 minus 3?
- Add these numbers together 4 and 6 and 5
Today you could also try the three minute number challenge. Set a timer for three minutes, begin at zero and write your numbers how high can you go before the timer runs out? You could have a competition with the people in your home.
You could also try our 50 to 0 challenge. Set the timer for three minutes and begin with 50, can you write all the numbers to zero before the time runs out?
You could also watch Numberjacks on YouTube or watch some of the Scratch Garden number songs.
Primary 2 Thursday 3rd December numeracy
Numeracy Thursday 3rd December
Good morning everyone.
For numeracy today, I am setting you a one-minute challenge.
First, ask your grown-up to start the timer, when you think a minute is up as them to stop. Were you close? Ask those who live in your house to try it. Who was the closest?
Next I would like you to estimate how many times you can do each item in the table in one minute. Write down your estimate and then ask a grown-up to time you. Did you manage more or less? Did it feel like a minute? I have left the last box empty, you can think of your own challenge to complete in one minute.
Now you could ask your grown-up to join in? How did they get on?
| Activity | Estimate | Actual |

If yesterday, you completed the time activity Fun in the park and the one-hour before and after clocks then today you can complete the activity below, this involves writing the time one hour before and after however today can you do it with half past times?
If you are in the smaller maths group then you can complete the activity ‘Tell the time: Writing the time.
Remember you can also use the My Maths website. (you have the login information at home)
