KEY STAGE TWO MATHS WORKSHEETS - BY KEY STAGE TWO.COM
During key stage 2 pupils use the number system more confidently. They move from counting reliably to calculating fluently with all four number operations. They always attempt tackle a task with mental methods before using any other method. Pupils explore features of shape and space and develop their measuring skills in a range of contexts. They discuss and present their methods and reasoning using a wider range of mathematical language, diagrams and charts.
The mathematics programmes of study and the primary framework for mathematics are fully aligned. The framework provides a detailed basis for implementing the statutory requirements of the programme of study for key stage 2 in mathematics.
Knowledge, skills and understanding
Using and applying number
In Problem solving pupils should be taught to:
1. make connections in mathematics and appreciate the need to use numerical skills and knowledge when solving problems in other parts of the mathematics curriculum
2. break down a more complex problem or calculation into simpler steps before attempting a solution; identify the information needed to carry out the tasks
3. select and use appropriate mathematical equipment, including ICT
4. find different ways of approaching a problem in order to overcome any difficulties
5. make mental estimates of the answers to calculations; check results
In Communicating pupils should be taught to:
6. organise work and refine ways of recording
7. use notation diagrams and symbols correctly within a given problem
8. present and interpret solutions in the context of the problem
9. communicate mathematically, including the use of precise mathematical language

It is now possible for your child to learn on-line, in a safe and fun environment. Key Stage Two is an internet based learning tool designed to build and grow your child’s education in line with the topics they will cover at school.
Do you want to include National Curriculum compliant education into your child’s fun learning? KeyStageTwo.com is currently working with 35 schools across the British Isles to offer cost reducing benefits to schools across the Uk, and is in talks with various government agencies to have the system installed on a national level within the UK.
Key Stage Two is an affordable education system which integrates education with entertainment by linking education with fun online games which test the child while they learn. We have recorded great results with children spending on average 40 minutes per evening on the system, doing homework and usually additional tests, hence improving the acuity and performance of even the most hard to reach pupil.
The system has identified the following benefits to schools:
-Overall School Cost Reduction due to less homework needing printed it saves money
-Very low price means it is affordable for all schools as well as home tutors
-Teacher Time Reduction due to the reduced amount of marking
-Non Discriminatory, offering facilities to aid children who do not have home computers
-Environmentally friendly reducing your need for printing
-It helps schools meet their own IT targets
-Full Customer Support team in place meaning any queries are dealt with.
-There is a marked Improvement in Children’s performance particularly those who are hard to engage through traditional methods
-Tracking of Child Performance provided by the system enables constructive lesson support, identifying particular areas of weakness in particular pupils as well as the class as a whole.
Why not lobby a school near you to get involved? Or as a parent/tutor avail of the system for only ten pounds per month. Contact us direct on 028 91 464851 or Click the link below for more information.
