Free Year 2 Maths Worksheets And Homework: Printable, Downloadable Or Just View Online

Sophie Bessemer

Here you can find all our free Year 2 maths worksheets and Year 2 maths resources, many of which are suitable for homework and home learning .

All our KS1 and KS2 maths worksheets are printable and most are in pdf format, but they can also be viewed online too. If you’re looking for other slides-based teaching resources and lesson plans, we recommend you look at our range of White Rose maths lessons.

The hope is that these pdf Year 2 maths worksheets and free resources can be used with minimal support from parents as part of a 6 or 7 year old’s Year 2 maths homework routine and by teachers as part of a planned lesson framework.

For parents working with their children at home we would recommend you focus on practising and improving pupils’ core numeracy skills using the numbers worksheets as these generally require less input than topics like geometry – 2d shapes and 3d shapes. Place value and number after all are the building blocks of Key Stage 1 and later Key Stage 2 maths.

We have also included some telling the time worksheets; these will require support from a teacher or parent but the method used is truly revolutionary.

National curriculum guidance is given where relevant and each Year 2 worksheet includes answer sheets.

If you’re a parent then our home learning hub is full of home learning packs , workbooks, tips and further teaching ideas for Year 2 Maths at home and maths homework . 

If you’re a teacher or school leader who is interested in improving maths attainment in your school or classroom, then Third Space Learning is here to support you with our online tutoring programme of maths interventions , together with maths resources and CPD.

Record the mass of household items.

3. Bake together

You could try following a recipe with your child. Help them weigh the ingredients using digital or balance scales (whatever you have at home). Can they tell you the mass of the ingredients in kilograms and grams?

For baking inspiration, take a look at our free recipes .

4. Try money activities

To help your child get used to the value of coins and notes, let them use money when you are shopping. Be sure to point out prices in the supermarket and to talk about the coins and notes we use.

To get your child used to the value of coins, you could ask them to investigate all the different ways to make £1. Or, if they are collecting coins in a piggy bank, ask them to find the total amount of money they have inside. Help them by sorting coins into smaller groups and then adding those groups together to find the total.

You could also help your child to practise calculating with money by telling them that they have £2 to spend and asking them to work out what they could buy. This shows your child the real-world impact of their maths skills!

Activity: Counting coins

Cut out the coins and practise money skills.

5. Get to grips with time

Your child could use their knowledge of fractions to tell the time on an analogue clock to the hour , at half past , at quarter past , and at quarter to the hour . Encourage them to tell the time at different points during the day, including to the nearest 5 minutes.

It is important your child knows how to compare and record time in terms of seconds, minutes, and hours using vocabulary like  o’clock , am/pm , morning , afternoon , noon , and midnight .

Try to talk to your child about how different units of time relate to each other. For example, they should know that there are 60 seconds in a minute and that there are 24 hours in a day . You could ask your child to work out problems such as finding out how many seconds there are in three minutes.

6. Make a clock together

Making a clock with your child will help them get to know the features of an analogue clock – for example, the long hand is the minute hand and the short hand is the hour hand. You could add words to the clock to support your child, such as quarter past , half past , and quarter to .

Your child may well be more keen to practise telling the time using a clock they have made themselves!  Take a look at the activity sheet below to find out how to make a paper clock.

Activity: Make your own clock

Tell the time with your hand-made clock.

National news | total solar eclipse: how the 2024 eclipse will differ from 2017.

(CNN) — When a total solar eclipse creates a spectacle in the skies over Mexico and North America on April 8, it will mark the first time such an event has occurred in this part of the world for nearly seven years — and the last time one will until 2044.

Total solar eclipses happen when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun’s face. But these celestial events aren’t all exactly alike.

While April’s eclipse has a path similar to the one that occurred on August 21, 2017 , albeit moving in the opposite direction and covering more ground, there are quite a few differences between the two that make 2024’s occurrence one to anticipate , according to NASA . One key factor that sets this year’s event apart is who will be able to see it.

NASA estimates that 215 million adults across the US saw the 2017 eclipse directly or virtually.

“This year’s total solar eclipse will be at least partially visible to all in the contiguous United States, making it the most accessible eclipse this nation has experienced in this generation,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, in a statement .

A longer, more visible eclipse

More people will be able to see the 2024 eclipse because the path of totality, or locations where people will witness the moon’s shadow completely covering the sun, will be wider. The moon’s distance from Earth varies as it orbits our planet, and during the 2017 total solar eclipse, the moon was farther away from Earth and caused the area of totality to be narrower, extending from about 62 to 71 miles (100 to 114 kilometers) wide.

But the moon will be closer to our planet during this year’s event, so the path its shadow will follow over North America is expected to stretch about 108 to 122 miles (174 to 196 kilometers) wide.

The path of the 2024 eclipse also passes over more densely populated areas and major cities than before. Only 12 million people lived within the area of totality for the 2017 eclipse, while nearly 32 million are in the 2024 path, and 150 million people live within 200 miles (322 kilometers) of it.

People outside the path of totality will still be able to see a partial solar eclipse, where the moon only blocks part of the sun’s face. A whopping 99% of those living across the US, including parts of Hawaii and Alaska, will be able to glimpse at least a partial solar eclipse without having to travel.

April’s eclipse will also have longer period of totality than 2017 because of the moon’s proximity to Earth. Totality is one of the shortest phases of an eclipse, and its duration is dependent on viewing location. Observers closest to the center of the path will experience the longest totality, and the length of that window decreases closer to the path’s edge.

In 2017, skygazers glimpsing the longest totality experienced it for two minutes and 42 seconds near Carbondale, Illinois.

This year, an area about 25 minutes northwest of Torreón, Mexico, will offer the longest totality at four minutes and 28 seconds, but people across Texas and even as far north as Economy, Indiana, will see totality that lasts longer than four minutes. And when the eclipse crosses into Canada, viewers can still expect to see totality for 3 minutes and 21 seconds.

The longest period of totality in recent history was seven minutes and 8 seconds, and it occurred west of the Philippines on June 20, 1955, according to the Guinness Book of World Records .

The great solar experiment

While the eclipse is a treat for sky-gazers, the event also offers scientists an opportunity to study the sun in unique ways. And April’s eclipse will allow scientists a special glimpse of the sun during one of its most active periods, called solar maximum.

The sun experiences a regular 11-year cycle of waxing and waning activity tied to when the star’s magnetic field flips. The 2017 eclipse occurred as the sun neared solar minimum, when the star experiences less activity.

Experts have predicted that solar maximum , the peak of solar magnetic field activity, will occur later this year. Scientists anticipate that exciting features resembling loops, streamers and bright curls will be visible in the sun’s hot outer atmosphere, known as the corona, when the moon blocks the star’s surface from view during the upcoming eclipse. The corona, which is fainter than the surface of the sun, is easier to see during an eclipse, allowing scientists to study it in greater detail.

It’s also possible that an eruption of material from the sun’s surface, called a coronal mass ejection, might be visible during the eclipse.

Several experiments will fly aboard NASA’s WB-57 high-altitude research aircraft during the eclipse to study the corona with the hopes of capturing new details about its structure across different wavelengths of light.

Does long-term care insurance still make sense for 75 year-olds?

By Joshua Rodriguez

Edited By Angelica Leicht

Deciding whether to purchase long-term care insurance in your 50s may be a relatively easy decision to make. At that age, insurance premiums may still be affordable , and at a younger age, you're more likely to qualify for coverage. 

But as you age, the average cost of long-term care insurance tends to increase in tandem. At age 75, premiums can be thousands of dollars per year . And, considering the cost, you may wonder if long-term care insurance makes sense. 

So, does it still make sense to look for long-term care insurance coverage at age 75?

Don't wait to get the coverage you need. Compare your long-term care insurance options now . 

"I talk to people weekly who feel at an older age it is too late to prepare for a plan," says Rhonda Bills, an instructor with Certification for Long-Term Care (CLTC), a training company that certifies long-term care insurance agents. "The good news is today we have so many more solutions that do not involve traditional underwriting." 

So, Bills says, there's no reason "not look into a solution." 

Here are three good reasons to compare your long-term care insurance options at age 75:

Chances of needing care will be higher

Statistics show that nearly 70% of adults ages 65 and older will need some form of long-term care during their remaining years. And, it becomes increasingly more likely that you'll need long-term care as you age. 

So, at 75 years-old, the chances that you'll need long-term care are greater than they were when you were younger. Long-term care insurance can help you better afford that care if the need arises. 

Get long-term care insurance today to make sure you have access to the care you may need later . 

Long-term care costs may threaten your estate

Long-term care insurance costs are calculated based on factors like your age, sex, health and the amount of coverage you need, and can be thousands of dollars or more per year for a 75 year-old. While that may seem expensive, it could be more affordable than paying for the cost of care out of pocket. 

For example, some types of long-term care can  cost more than $100,000 per year  on average. If you don't have long-term care insurance to cover this expense, it could have a detrimental impact on your estate. 

After all, at age 75, you may be retired and living on a fixed income. If that's the case, and significant long-term care expenses arise, you may need to tap into your assets to cover the costs. In turn, the need for long-term care could have a significant impact on what you're able to leave behind for your loved ones when you die. 

Insurance also protects your loved ones

Many seniors plan to  age at home and depend on their family members for care. But relying on your family for care could be impossible if you develop a condition that requires round-the-clock care. 

Even if your loved ones are eager to help, they may have a spouse, children or career of their own to maintain. And, dedicating their time to your care could have a detrimental impact on their earnings or ability to maintain other relationships. 

But long-term care insurance may be able to help, as this type of coverage typically covers the cost of adult day care services. It may also pay for home health aides when family caregivers are unavailable for an extended period. Some policies may even  pay family caregivers for the services they provide. 

The bottom line

Long-term care insurance is an important consideration  when you're younger, but it may also be important to consider at age 75 (or older). After all, as a 75 year-old, you have a higher chance of needing long-term care, and the cost of this care could detrimentally impact your estate and the well-being of your loved ones. But the right long-term care insurance policy could help resolve these types of issues and make long-term care more affordable, even at age 75. Get started and  compare your coverage options now .
