Position and direction - Making patterns with shapes - Worksheet

Designed for Year 2 students during the Summer Term, Week 4, Day 4, this worksheet provides a series of maths challenges that focus on grouping and division. The 'Fluent in Four' section aims to revise key mathematical concepts, prompting children to calculate the total number of carrots and how they can be divided into different numbers of equal groups. Using counters or objects, students are encouraged to explore whether they can create 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 equal groups, marking their findings with a tick or cross. Additionally, the worksheet includes arithmetic problems such as division and multiplication, and children are asked to describe the route a girl takes to get home, enhancing their understanding of direction and position.

On Day 5, the worksheet continues with subtraction problems, asking students to calculate the difference between pairs of numbers. They are also invited to extend patterns by adding shapes and to identify the number bond represented in a given picture. The task includes counting red and yellow counters to find the total number, and completing number sentences that reflect this. Moreover, the children are asked to apply their knowledge of multiplication in real-life contexts, such as determining the number of wheels on 7 bikes. The worksheet activities are designed to build fluency in fundamental arithmetic skills, as well as to develop logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
