Revision: multiplication, fractions, time - Teaching Presentation - Year 2

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives:

• Solve missing number multiplications and divisions, and word problems.
• Find fractions of amounts.
• Tell the time to five minutes including ¼ to and ¼ past the hour.

It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards.

Day 1 Teaching
Write ☐ x 5 = 20 on the board. Agree it is asking us how many 5s are in 20. Write 20 ÷ 5 = ☐ and remind children that this is another way of writing the same question. Write ☐ x ☐ = 10 and ask children what numbers could go in the boxes. Show: Mr Ball has 30 children in his class. They all need new pencils. There are 10 pencils in a box. How many boxes does he need? Discuss and agree that we need to work out how many 10s are in 30. Repeat with another word problem.

Day 2 Teaching
Write 1/4 of 12 on the board. Sketch a line of 12 circles; demonstrate dividing them in half and then half again. Children find 1/4 of 8 on their whiteboards. Ask children to discuss in pairs how to find 3/4 of 8. Take feedback and agree that we need 3 groups of 2, i.e. 6. Repeat for 1/3 of 12 and 1/4 of 16.

Day 3 Teaching
Use a geared analogue clock to show 1/2 past 3. This time is half way between 3 o’clock and 4 o’clock. Write 2 headings: Before 1/2 past 3 and After 1/2 past 3. Show 10 past 3. Is this time nearer 3 o’clock or 4 o’clock? What is the exact time? Write 10 past 3 under the heading ‘Before 1/2 past 3’. Repeat with other times. Practise drawing clock hands for given times.

This teaching is part of Hamilton’s Year 2 Revision block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
