Maths Session 1 – Magic Maths

Today we are going to have a go at one of our magic maths grids.

There are 9 problems for you to solve.

Get a piece of paper and split it up into 9 boxes.

Just like this!

Watch the video in the Video Resource Centre. Pause the video when you get

to the challenge that you want to take. You know whether you usually do the

Star challenge, the Meteor challenge or the Comet challenge.

Comet Challenge

At school, you have ten minutes to complete this – try to see if you can do it

within the time. If you don’t quite get them all done, don’t worry – just carry

on and finish it. You will get quicker! Pause the video on the challenge you

want to take.

Have a go at finding out the answers to the questions. Remember you can

draw pictures or write things down if it helps you to find the answers (sticks

and circles, number line, picture, bar model).

When you have finished remember to check, check, check! Once you are ready to check your answers, press play on the video and

forward it on to your sheet to see how you got on.

Maths Session 2 – Time

Watch the video about time on the Year 2 Video Resource Centre.

Star Challenge

Session 2

Make a clock to practise the different times that you have learnt at home.

You will need:

a clock face – this can be made from a circle of card or a paper plate.

a long minute hand – cut these out from paper or card.

a short hour hand –

a split pin to rotate the hands or alternatively you could use blue tack to

stick the hands in different positions around the clock.

a pen or pencil to write the numbers around your clock.

Look at the clock in your house. What numbers are the hands pointing to when

you get up, have your breakfast, play with your toys, eat your lunch or eat

your dinner? Match the hands on your clock to the ones on your clock at home.

Don’t forget to look carefully at which hand is long minute hand and which

hand is the short hour hand.
