P2 Maths Resources

Good morning,  I’ve just been given some maths resources that I felt would be useful for primary 2.  Please have a look at the following if you wish;

Khan Academy –   khanacademy.com/math 

Free sign-up. Contains lots of structured numeracy and maths activities including;  Video Tutorials, Follow Up Questions ​and Quizzes. 

Khan Academy Kids https://khankids.zendesk.com/hc/en-us can only be downloaded as an app on some devices (may be more suitable for P1/2) 

Content for P1 on Khan Academy can be found in the pre-school and K-2nd Grade section but note that this section covers all the way up to P4.

  • Content for P2-P4 on Khan Academy can be found in the K-2nd Grade Section
  • Content for P5-P7 on Khan Academy can be found in the 3rd Grade, 4th Grade and 5th Grade Sections

If you use the quiz section, this will give the learner an idea of what they can do confidently and what they may need to learn/revisit. The Khan Academy then suggests the content that would be useful for them to work on. These are marked with a yellow star. 

Mathplayground​ (Early to Second Level)

https://www.mathplayground.com/

An extensive range of maths games covering  addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, money and time, ratio, pre-algebra and geometry​.  It also features a range of step by step teaching videos on a range of concepts including data handling, multiplication and division, area and perimeter, and fractions

A range of games from (Early through to Second Level ) including:-

Ten frame Mania – counting and place value          

Minus Mania – negative numbers

Numtanga (Junior) – counting, place value and number identification

Numtanga – fractions, money and measurement

Number Blocks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/numberblocksVideos of episodes can also be found on youtube EARLY LEVEL 

The aim of the Number Blocks series is to introduce concepts of number to support early mathematical understanding. 

​To support the Numberblocks Series, the National Centre for Excellence in Teaching mathematics (NCETM) have produced materials to be used in conjunction with the Numberblocks episodes. https://www.ncetm.org.uk/resources/52060 

They highlight and develop the key mathematical ideas that are embedded in the programmes. 

Each set of materials comes in the form of a PowerPoint file, and includes: 

Practitioner Notes, consisting of an episode description, the maths in the episode and the use of mathematical language. 

Talk and Discuss Together provides a set of slides, designed to be used with children after they have watched the episode. 

Enabling Environments gives suggestions for extending the mathematics into the wider Early Years environment where children engage in meaningful activity and explore mathematical concepts. 

Overviews of each series, their storylines and the mathematics addressed, are available as downloadable PDFs.

I know this is a lot of information, but thought that maybe you would want to have a look at some of these.

Regards
