Hello Year 2!

Here is some maths work for your home learning.

Please take your time to go through each task. There are also answers to help you mark your work!

This week we are going to be learning about 2D shapes

and practising our 2 times table.

To identify and name 2D shapes. Monday - Task 1

Can you name these 2D shapes?

Can you tell someone how you identified each shape?

Vocabulary flatsidescorners / verticesstraightcurved

Which 2D shapes can you spot in the picture?

Howmany of each shape can you find?

Have a look at this picture?

Are there many more 2D shapes here than in the previous picture?

Remember we are looking for 2D shapes so think about the number of sides and corners.

Which is the most common 2D shape in this picture?

Main Activity

Now let’s have some fun around the house and / or garden. Please use these as a template and copy questions down if you do not have access to a printer.

Go on a shape hunt around the house and/or in the garden to look for 2D shapes on real worldobjects.

Tick the shapes you find.

Which was the most common 2D shape you found at home?

Which was the least common shape?

Can you find any other 2D shapes? What other shapes did you find?

2D shape sequences.

Copy this link and have some fun completing the 2D shape sequences.

Can you complete all the levels?

To describe the properties of 2D shapes. Tuesday – Task 2

Can you complete the blank spaces? Use the shapes to help you.

Vocabulary

corners

sides

flat

Can you say which shape matches with the name or the property?

Symmetry – What is symmetry? Something is symmetrical when it is the same on both sides. A shape has symmetry if a middle line (a mirror line) can be drawn on it, to show that both sides of the shape are exactly the same.

The line of symmetry is drawn on a few of these shapes. Can you draw the lines of symmetry on the rest of the shapes? Remember it needs to the same on both sides of the line.

Remember if you cannot print the pages then ask an adult to draw a few shapes on a page so that you can practise drawing lines of symmetry.

What is a right angle?A right angle includes two perpendicular lines meeting at a corner. This forms a perfect ‘L’ or corner shape.

Make a right angle checker with a page and check which of these shapes have right angles.

Remember to check the angles INSIDE the shapes.

Main Activity:

Please use these as a template and copy questions down if you do not have access to a printer.

Now that you have looked at the different properties of 2D shapes can you answer these questions? Which shapes will go into the middle of the Venn Diagram? Why? Remember to use you right angle checker to help you.

Remember to check the criteria on both sides.

Challenge

Challenge Answers:

a) Yes both are lines of symmetry.

b)

rectangle circle kite circle

Champions’ challenge1. * hexagons have six sides – true * triangles are always symmetrical – false

* rectangles have two pairs of equal sides – true * squares have fewer sides than rectangles – false

2. A shape is symmetrical, and it has no corners. What is the shape? a circle

To identify properties of 2D shapes Wednesday – Task 3

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/go/resource/t-n-2545068-ks1-properties-of-regular-2d-shapes-video

Here is a link to a video about the properties of 2D shapes.

Copy the link and see if you can identify the 2D shapes in the world around us.

Use your learning from yesterday to help you.

2 times table Thursday - Task 4

Let us count in twos.

Draw lines from your start number to the last number, counting in twos.

From which number will you begin?

You can write down these numbers onto a sheet of paper if you cannot print it out.

2 times table

Have a go at doing these activities to practise your 2 times table.

Remember if you can’t print out the sheet you can copy in onto a sheet of paper first.

Sally gives out 12 party bags at the end of her party.Inside each party bag are 2 balloons.How many balloons does Sally give out? _____

Lollipops cost 2p to buy. Bobby wants to buy enough for his class to have for his birthday.There are 25 children in his class.He also wants to buy an extra lollipop for his teacher (what a kind boy)!How much does Bobby have to spend on lollipops? _____p

Main Activity

Problem solving – remember to use jottings to help you to solve these problems.
