This is a maths skills checklist for children reaching the end of Year 2 (or P3 in N Ireland) and is written to help parents ensure that the early signs of falling behind don’t go unnoticed, so maths confidence can be quickly restored.
We’ve also developed a series of fun maths quizzes which are free and fun for kids to use and give parents private feedback on their child’s strengths and identifies any areas which could benefit from a little extra attention. So why not take a Kickstart Quiz? (once you’ve read the article, of course!)

1) Number: Know one more or less than and ten more or less than any number from 1 to 100
«Write down the number 67 now write the number that is 10 more than this. »
«What about the number that is one less, ten less.»
2) Number: Count forward and backward in twos, fives and tens
«Starting at 12 count forward in twos» «Starting at 60 count backwards in tens»
3) Number: Mark and read a number on a number line:
«What number is this?»
«Mark where the number 23 goes on this number line:»
4) Number: Use place value to 100 ( tens and ones )
«What does the four stand for in 48?»
5) Number: Compare and order numbers to 100
«Put these numbers in order 27 56 23 78 14 smallest first»
6) Addition & Subtraction: Add and subtract to 20 ( including bridging 10 )
«7 + 8 = » «17 + 9 = «
7) Addition & Subtraction: Missing numbers to 10
» 5 + __ = 9 what’s the missing number?»
8) Multiplication: Find double and half of a number
«Double 7 is » «Half of 22 is»
9) Multiplication: Use multiplication as “lots of” and that the answer is the same when you change the order
«Two lots of three is?» «Three lots of two is?»
10) Multiplication: Know 2, 5 and 10 times tables
«3 x10 = » «4 x 5 = » «6 x 2 = «
A good indication your child has really mastered a skill is if they can answer correctly and quickly.
Being hesitant is an indication that mastery isn’t quite there.
The good news for parent and learners is that addressing problems in maths is easy when children are young, and in many cases all that’s needed is some regular targeted practice.

Mindset — the path to mastery
People who have a growth mindset believe that they always have the potential to learn and improve. They are more motivated to persevere with difficult tasks, to take risks and to learn from failure.
Top tips to de-stress homework time
Homework can be a trigger for some of the worst fights and arguments that we have with our children. Here are some solutions that can help reduce tensions and get homework done without arguments.
How to Teach Basic Math to a 7-Year-Old
The beginning grade school years provide children with a mathematics foundation they will build upon throughout their academic years. Until students learn basic math concepts, such as number operations, geometry, measurements and probability, they won’t be able to solve the complex problems found in algebra, calculus and statistics.
Tell a Story and Use Props to Illustrate
By age 7, many children can compute number operations that result in answers into the teens, according to the PBS Parents website. Not only can first graders add and subtract, they can also use these operations to do simple math problems.
While solving straightforward problems, such as 5 + 10 = 15 is part of the first-grade year, adding an imaginative story activity to teach math to your 7-year-old student will enrich his experience. Use props or visuals to engage him in the lesson. For example, tell the story of «The Three Little Pigs.» Have the pupil build the brick house using blocks. While he is building, ask him to solve simple math problems about the bricks. For example, you can say to him: «Start with eight blocks. Now add six. How many bricks are in the pig’s house now?» You can also modify this problem to ask the student to subtract the added blocks from the total number of blocks.
Build 2-D and 3-D Shapes
Even though 7-year-olds aren’t developmentally ready to calculate obtuse angles or solve complex radius problems, they are building their framework for geometry. First and second grade students can identify, create and combine 2-D shapes. They can also recognize and build simple 3-D objects such as cubes.
Try two different, but connected, activities that combine math and art into a creative composite craft with 2-D and 3-D shapes. Have the 7-year-old draw and cut out basic shapes such as rectangles, squares, circles and triangles. Ask her to form the shapes into a collage to make a picture. For example, a circle with two triangles on top represents a cat’s head; a square with a triangle on top represents a house. Repeat the activity with 3-D objects, making a sculpture. Use foam blocks, spheres and cubes and school glue to create 3-D houses, animals or people.
Take Measurements and Compare
Seven year olds learn how to take measurements for length and time, and they also learn how to represent and interpret the data. Help your young pupil make and understand measurements, by giving him an ordering activity. Gather at least three sticks of different sizes. Have the child place the sticks in order from the shortest stick to the longest stick.
Next, have the child place several shorter sticks end to end so that they are equal in length to the length of the longest stick. For example, three short sticks placed end to end might equal the length of one long stick. Connect this to number operations. Have the child use a ruler to measure the three shorter sticks. Add the lengths to find the size of the long stick.
Collect Data to Graph
Seven year olds can also collect mathematical data and display it on a simple graph. Have your student take a poll of her classmates or family members to illustrate how to collect and represent data. For example, she can pick 10 friends and can ask each friend to reveal her favorite color. As she interviews her friends, write the data on a sheet of paper. For example, write: «Two friends like green. Three friends like blue. Four friends like pink. One friend likes yellow.» When she has finished collecting the data, help her make a bar graph on a poster board.
Mark the poster board into four vertical sections to represent the four colors. Across the top of the board, list the four colors. Along the left side of the poster board, list numbers one through 10. Have her draw a colored bar for each color. Help her draw the bar up to the number of students who reported liking that color. For example, four friends said pink was their favorite color, so she would draw the pink bar up to the line that represents four.
