• Mathematics: Level 2 description

  In Level 2, students use grouping partitioning and re-arrangement to apply place value and extend the range of numbers they use and apply to thousands.

  Students recognise, model and order numbers to at least 1000 and use a variety of strategies to count efficiently, including skip counting forwards...
