This Content Descriptor from Year 2 Mathematics provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

recognise, represent and order numbers to at least 1000 using physical and virtual materials, numerals and number lines

Elaborations

  • • recognising missing numbers on different number lines; for example, a number line with \(1800\) on one end and \(220\) on the other, with every decade numbered
  • • recognising and locating the position of pieces within hundreds chart puzzles using knowledge of the order of natural numbers
  • • reading and writing numerals, and saying and ordering two-, three- and four-digit numbers using patterns in the number system, including numbers with zeros in different places, and numbers that look and sound similar such as \(808, 880, 818\) and \(881\)
  • • collecting large quantities of materials for recycling; for example, ring pulls, bottle tops and bread tags, and grouping them into ones, tens and hundreds; using the materials to show different representations of two- and three-digit numbers

Year 2 ASMATY2
Year 2 Mathematics Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 2, students order and represent numbers to at least 1000, apply knowledge of place value to partition, rearrange and rename two- and three-digit numbers in terms of their parts, and regroup partitioned numbers to assist in calculations. They use mathematical modelling to solve practical additive and multiplicative problems, including money transactions, representing the situation and choosing calculation strategies. Students identify and represent part-whole relationships of halves, quarters and eighths in measurement contexts. They describe and continue patterns that increase and decrease additively by a constant amount and identify missing elements in the pattern. Students recall and demonstrate proficiency with addition and subtraction facts within 20 and multiplication facts for twos. They use uniform informal units to measure and compare shapes and objects. Students determine the number of days between events using a calendar and read time on an analog clock to the hour, half hour and quarter hour. They compare and classify shapes, describing features using formal spatial terms. Students locate and identify positions of features in two-dimensional representations and move position by following directions and pathways. They use a range of methods to collect, record, represent and interpret categorical data in response to questions.
