Did you know that ladybugs have spots on their backs?
If a ladybug has 2 spots on its back and it gets 1 more spot, how many spots will the ladybug have in total?
The lady bug will have 3 spots!
Year 2 maths word problems are like fun puzzles that help us use our maths skills to solve real-life situations. They are essential to year 2 maths, and practising them can help us become maths superstars!
- We can use addition and subtraction to determine how many cookies are left in a jar, how many friends are on the playground, or even how many apples are in a basket.
- Understanding place value is like being a number detective. It helps us read big numbers and know the value of each digit, so we can count things like how many toys we have or how many days until our birthday.
- Measuring things and telling time is like being an explorer in the real world. We can measure how tall we are, how long a pencil is, or even how much water is in a glass. And knowing how to read a clock helps us know when it’s time for fun activities or when it’s time to go to bed.
- Shapes are like building blocks of the world around us. We can learn about squares, triangles, and circles by looking at objects we see every day. It’s like being a shape detective, finding out how many sides and corners they have, and how they fit together like puzzle pieces in year 2 maths questions.
All of these skills are necessary for year 2 maths practice! Use these 45 maths questions to go over important maths skills needed to strengthen your student’s understanding and knowledge.
Today, we are going to practise different year 2 maths skills that cover measurement, addition and subtraction, and more! Once you are done, check your work with our answer sheet!
Section 1: Addition & subtraction
Section 2: word problems, section 3: place value, section 4: geometry (shapes), section 5: time.

2. Play a matching game
Your child will be expected to write numbers up to 100 using numerals and words. You could support their learning by playing a matching game.
Make two sets of simple cards or pieces of paper. On one set of cards, write numbers in numerals (for example, ’67’). On another set of cards, write the matching number names (for example, ‘sixty-seven’). Mix all the cards up and play snap.
Activity: Number words
3. Compare and order numbers
Encourage you child to talk through how they know that one number is bigger or smaller than another:
I know that 32 is smaller than 76, because 32 only has 3 tens, and 76 has 7 tens.
Encourage your child to use more than (>) and less than (<) symbols when comparing numbers. For example, they could write 32 < 76 or 76 > 32.
You could practise ordering with a card game. Write twenty two-digit numbers and the ‘>’ and ‘<‘ symbols on separate pieces of paper. Deal your child two numbers, face down. Ask them to turn over the pieces of paper and to use the ‘>’ and ‘<‘ symbols to show which number is bigger or smaller.
Activity: Number statements
When your child is counting objects, ask them to estimate how many there are before they count them. Being able to make accurate estimates within mathematics is a valuable skill we use in everyday life. It will help them to tell if their answers to maths problems are reasonable or not.
When counting more than ten objects in a set, it is an important skill for your child to be able to group objects in groups of ten. For example, if they are counting 36 buttons, encourage them to begin by counting out buttons into groups of ten. They will then have 3 groups of ten buttons and 6 buttons on their own.
Activity: Counting coins
5. Partition numbers in different ways
Partitioning means to break numbers into parts. Use practical resources, such as straws grouped in tens, to partition numbers in different ways. For example, the number 54 can be partitioned into 50 + 4, 40 + 14, 30 + 24, 20 + 34, or 10 + 44.
This will help your child to see patterns in numbers as they develop their calculation skills.
6. Using number facts
To help reinforce your child’s understanding of number, try to find everyday opportunities for them to use known number facts to solve problems.
This is a really easy thing to do at home and in the shops. For example:
‘If we buy 7 apples and 3 bananas – how many pieces of fruit do we have altogether?’ ‘If we have 10 people coming to your party and we have 5 party bags, how many more do we need to buy?’

I use the activity with my year 2 students but it can easily be adapted to suit other year groups. This resource is a maths investigation to practice addition with regrouping. There are 3 levels of challenge to meet the varying needs of the pupils. You will need a box of small building bricks or lego. I just pick out the pieces I need and put a small amount on each table. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way with this activity as their constructions are quite small. I usually take pictures of the structures so we can talk about the value of each during the plenary.
