Max Maths, Year 2, Work Book, Place value and counting to 100

The Max Maths Work Book for Year 2 students introduces the concept of place value and counting up to 100 in a structured and engaging way. Practice 1 focuses on understanding the value of tens and ones in two-digit numbers. In the first exercise, children are asked to count the tens in a series of numbers, helping them to visualise and grasp the significance of the 'tens' place in number formation. This foundational skill is essential for developing a strong sense of number and will support their mathematical journey as they progress through their education.

Following this, the workbook guides students through writing numbers in words, which is not only a key numeracy skill but also aids in literacy development. Numbers ranging from 51 to 100 are provided for the children to translate into written form, reinforcing their understanding of the number system and sequence. Subsequent activities involve counting the tens and ones, then filling in the blanks to complete the equations. This hands-on approach allows children to actively participate in their learning process, making the abstract concept of place value more concrete. To further consolidate their knowledge, students are tasked with filling in blanks to form numbers based on given quantities of tens and ones, and then colouring squares to visually represent these numbers. This multi-sensory method is particularly effective for young learners, ensuring they engage with the content in a variety of ways to fully embed their learning.
