Rapid Year 2 – Arithmetic, Grammar and Reading (40 Ten-Minute Activities)

Description

Year 2 Rapid: 40 ten-minute activities in arithmetic, grammar and reading

Rapid packs are quick whiteboard activities for the start of a lesson, the start of the day or any spare ten minutes. Each Year 2 pack has 40 activities in teaching order: a recap of Year 1 in the autumn term, building to end-of-year standard in the summer term. Every activity has a question slide and an answer slide, so children can mark their own work and you can talk through the answers.

Rapid Arithmetic Year 2

Six questions per activity covering number bonds, place value, adding and subtracting two-digit numbers, the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, halves and quarters, and missing-number questions. Answer slides show the written methods in full, with carried digits and exchanges, so children can see where a mistake happened.

Rapid Grammar Year 2

One grammar, punctuation or vocabulary topic per activity, including capital letters and full stops, question marks and exclamation marks, nouns, adjectives and verbs, statements, questions and commands, past and present tense, joining with and, but, because, when, if and that, commas in lists, apostrophes, and the suffixes -ful, -less, -ness, -ment, -er, -est and -ly. Children answer with letters or short words on paper or mini whiteboards.

Rapid Reading Year 2

Original texts written for Year 2 – stories, poems and non-fiction – with three questions per activity. Most texts run over two to four activities, and each part can be used on its own. Texts include Pip the Puppy, Ducks, Puddles, Penguins, Max’s Submarine, From Egg to Butterfly, Firefighters and Sports Day. Questions are mostly retrieval and vocabulary, with simple inference and sequencing (answered as letters) as the year goes on.
