Multiplying and doubling and inverses - Problem-Solving Investigation - Year 2

This in-depth maths investigation is an open-ended problem solving activity for Year 2 children. It can be used to support teaching towards the objectives: Multiplying and doubling and inverses.

In-depth Investigation: Golden Numbers
Children explore which numbers are ‘golden numbers’ when we are counting in steps of different sizes.

This investigation will develop maths meta-skills, support open-ended questioning and logical reasoning, and enable children to learn to think mathematically and articulate mathematical ideas.

This problem-solving investigation is part of our Year 2 Calculation 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.
