Number & place value in Year 2 (age 6–7)
In Year 2, your child will learn to compare and order numbers from 1 to 100. They will recognise the place value of two-digit numbers, and will be able to use this to solve problems. They will also make more use of number lines and will be able to use less than (<), more than (>), and equals (=) symbols.
The key words for this section are number and place value .
What your child will learn
Take a look at the National Curriculum expectations for number and place value in Year 2 (ages 6–7):
Count in 2s, 3s, and 5s from 0, and in 10s from any number
Recognise the place value of two-digit numbers.
For example, in ’25’, they will understand that the first number (2) shows the number of tens, and the second number (5) shows the number of ones. So there are two tens and five ones in the number 25. Note that your child will say ones and not units when talking about place value.
Identify, represent, and estimate numbers shown in different ways
Your child will be expected to use objects, drawings/diagrams/pictures, number lines and 100 squares , and symbols to represent numbers. They will make these representations themselves, and will also be able to understand them when someone else has made them.
Your child will also start to estimate numbers based on different representations. For example, they will be able to say, ‘each of those piles of sticks has about 10 sticks, so we have about 30 sticks.’
Compare and order numbers from 0 to 100
Your child will be able to compare two numbers to say which one is bigger and which one is smaller. They will also be able to explain why:
47 is more than 29 as 47 has 4 tens compared with 29 which only has 2 tens.
Your child will learn to put a selection of numbers between 0 and 100 in order:
46, 19, 3, 76, 43, 79 in order from smallest to largest are 3, 19, 43, 46, 76, 79.
Your child will use the words will use the words more , less , fewer , more than , less than , equal to , equivalent to , and the same value as when comparing numbers. They will use the word fewer when working with things that can be counted, and less when working with abstract numbers and things that are continuous .
‘I have 3 fewer sweets than you.’ ‘There is less water in the glass than in the bottle.’ ‘25 is less than 42.’
They will also be able to use the more than (>), less than (<) and equals (=) symbols to compare numbers.
Read and write numbers up to at least 100
Your child will read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals (1, 2, 3, and so on) as well as in words (one, two, three, and so on).
Writing out the numbers 10–20 can be particularly tricky for children, so your child might need a bit more focus on these numbers to start with.
Use place value and number facts to solve problems
‘If I have 6 apples and you have 4 apples, how many apples do we have altogether?’
To solve this problem, your child needs to understand that zero can be used as a placeholder in numbers like 10, where the ‘1’ means that there is one ten, and the ‘0’ means there are no ones.
How to help at home
There are lots of ways you can help your child to understand number and place value. Here are just a few ideas:
1. Represent numbers creatively
Showing numbers in interesting ways really helps your child to understand number and place value. Objects from around the home like buttons, dried pasta shapes, marbles, or pencils are great to practise counting and organising numbers. For example, ’32’ could be represented by 32 marbles arranged into three groups of ten and two ones.
As well as objects, your child can use drawings, diagrams, or symbols to represent numbers. For example, you could draw 23 stick figures, then draw a circle around each group of ten, with three left outside of the circles. This shows that 23 is made from two tens and three ones.

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
![place value reasoning and problem solving year 2 place value reasoning and problem solving year 2](https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PWO_Age_5_6_numbers_and_counting_linking_lines_thumbnail-1.png)
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
![place value reasoning and problem solving year 2 place value reasoning and problem solving year 2](https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PWO_Age_6_7_number_gapfill_thumbnail-1.png)
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
![place value reasoning and problem solving year 2 place value reasoning and problem solving year 2](https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PWO_Age_6_7_money_thumbnail-1.png)
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?’

Problem Solving with Place Value
February 3, 2021.
Understanding place value provides the essential foundation for so many aspects of mathematics, from multiplying and dividing by powers of ten, understanding the equivalence between fractions, decimals and percentages, and learning how to write and calculate with numbers in standard form.
The videos below show how I use the place value table to teach these topics conceptually.
Writing numbers as words
Multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000
Converting between fractions, decimals and percentages
I designed this problem-solving lesson to deepen students’ understanding of place value to connect it to other aspects of mathematics, including listing permutations, odd and even numbers and money. By linking to these topics, the questions are challenging yet remain accessible to students in key stage 3 and those studying the foundation GCSE course.
The lesson consists of six problem-solving questions, all centred around place value. Here is a sample of three of the questions.
Here is a sample of three of the questions.
Linking place value to arithmetic
![place value reasoning and problem solving year 2 Problem Solving with Place Value](https://mr-mathematics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image-4.png)
In this question, students link their understanding of place value to writing numbers in figures from words. Next, they use column subtraction to find the difference between two numbers.
Linking place value to permutations
![place value reasoning and problem solving year 2 Problem Solving with Place Value](https://mr-mathematics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image-5.png)
In this question, students arrange the four single-digit cards to make the numbers between 230 and 430.
Students link their understanding of place value to listing permutations.
Linking place value to odd and even numbers
![place value reasoning and problem solving year 2 Problem Solving with Place Value](https://mr-mathematics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image-6.png)
To work out the smallest, even number, students need to find two three-digit numbers with the least difference.
To calculate the biggest, odd number, they need to find two numbers with the greatest difference.
Both questions can be completed through a method of trial and improvement. More able students would use:
- odd + odd = even
- odd + even =odd
- even + odd = odd
- even + even = even.
