Maths in Reception - Moortown Primary School, Leeds

What is two?

In order to give children a deeper understanding of number we are investigating small numbers in our maths learning. This week, we’ll focus on the number 2 and what ‘two’ means.

Here are some ideas to help your child understand the ‘twoness of two’:

Explore body parts which come in pairs, eyes, legs, nostrils etc
Look at 2 x 1p, look at 2p, a £2 coin
Cut fruit in half: one apple, 2 pieces of apple.
Look at pairs of shoes, socks and boots
