Twenty school days have now been planned in the Year 2 sequence; this pack authors Days 11–20 only. It is ten optional 25-minute mathematics lessons, not a claim that a whole term, state syllabus, or full Year 2 achievement standard is covered. A teacher can use a lesson independently, though Day 11 is the best start for the map convention and Day 16 for exchange language.
| Week | Question | Daily focus | Australian Curriculum v9 partial links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 · Days 11–15 | How can we help someone find a place? | locate, follow, compose, test and repair directions on a two-dimensional representation | AC9M2SP02 |
| 4 · Days 16–20 | Which numbers can we rename? | represent, partition, regroup, explain zero, choose equivalent groups | AC9M2N01, AC9M2N02 |
The Week 3 cards invite clear sequence words and verbs; Week 4 invites an explanation of strategy. These are useful connections to the parallel English fortnight. Mathematics reasoning remains the evidence here. Read a problem aloud without giving away its mathematical solution.
Open in teaching order
- Ten timed teacher scripts.
- Learner practice cards — three choices per day, original fictional contexts. Print or display only this file and the appropriate aids to learners during practice.
- Held-out Days 15 and 20 checks. Keep closed until those days.
- Teacher key, rubric and next moves — staff copy only. Do not share its URL or print it in the learner packet.
- Route grid, exchange mat, and complete text/tactile alternatives.
- Exact source mapping, source/rights and editorial review, desk run-through, and read-only verifier.
Before class
Use counters, paper squares for hundreds, strips of ten and singles; coins or purchased blocks are unnecessary. For Week 3, mark a 4 × 4 grid on paper or the floor. The imaginary hub in the learner cards is not a floor plan of a real school. Page top is always up; one move crosses to an adjacent square vertically or horizontally. For Week 4, let learners physically exchange one hundred for ten tens or one ten for ten ones. One learner can direct a partner who moves the pieces. Record what the child understands, the prompt given, and the next step; a neat numeral alone is thin evidence.
Access and home route: All tasks can be spoken, pointed to, moved with a partner, sketched, typed, or answered using AAC. The adult may read all contexts. Offer a no-print grid of 16 scrap-paper squares and groups of 10 buttons/paper dots. Home practice uses a fictional map or unnamed room objects; children need not disclose a home layout, finances or family details. More complex route challenges are extensions, not a faster-work reward. The teacher can vary context, numbers, route length, language and response mode while retaining the same mathematical goal.
