What Year 2 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 2 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students recall and demonstrate proficiency with addition and subtraction facts within 20 and multiplication facts for twos.
- Students locate and identify positions of features in two-dimensional representations and move position by following directions and pathways.
- Students identify and represent part-whole relationships of halves, quarters and eighths in measurement contexts.
- They use mathematical modelling to solve practical additive and multiplicative problems, including money transactions, representing the situation and choosing calculation strategies.
- They compare and classify shapes, describing features using formal spatial terms.
- They describe and continue patterns that increase and decrease additively by a constant amount and identify missing elements in the pattern.

A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
