This guide explains each lesson in easy English. It gives you the ideas, the words, the questions and the games. Read a topic the night before. Then teach it to Lia in your own way.

Lia can count to 100. The new part is the number line: reading a number from its place on the line, and estimating when there is no number. A good estimate is close. It does not have to be exact.

Made by Lia's dad with the help of AI. It follows the order of the White Rose Maths Year 2 small steps (Autumn Block 1, steps 9–11). It is home practice, not official school or White Rose material. If the school teaches something in a different way, follow the school.

    “Explain how you know.”

Next in class

After these steps, the class will compare and order numbers. The number line helps there too: the number further to the right is greater. Later, the same idea comes back when Lia reads rulers and scales, and in Year 3 on number lines up to 1,000.

Background A

How maths is taught in Year 2영국 Year 2 수학 수업 방식

What happens in Lia's classroom, so you can teach in the same way at home.

Small steps

Lia's school uses a plan called White Rose Maths. Each unit is cut into many small steps. The Addition and Subtraction unit has 21 small steps. This guide covers the first six. Each step is one small idea, and each new step uses the step before it. That is why the early steps, like bonds to 10, are so important.

Objects → pictures → numbers

Teachers call this concrete → pictorial → abstract. It means:

StageWhat it meansExample: 7 + 3
ConcreteReal things you can touch and move.7 red Lego bricks and 3 blue Lego bricks. Count them all: 10.
PictorialA drawing of the things.A ten frame with 7 dots and 3 dots.
AbstractOnly numbers and signs.7 + 3 = 10
  • ConcreteWhat it meansReal things you can touch and move.Example: 7 + 37 red Lego bricks and 3 blue Lego bricks. Count them all: 10.
  • PictorialWhat it meansA drawing of the things.Example: 7 + 3A ten frame with 7 dots and 3 dots.
  • AbstractWhat it meansOnly numbers and signs.Example: 7 + 37 + 3 = 10

Children do not always move in one direction. A child who is stuck on numbers goes back to pictures or objects. This is normal and good.

Three kinds of question

KindWhat it asksExample
FluencyCan you do it quickly and correctly?“What is 6 + 4?”
ReasoningCan you explain why? Is it true or false?“Max says 20 + 50 = 700. Is he right? How do you know?”
Problem solvingCan you use it in a new or tricky situation?“Find two numbers that make 10. Now find all of them.”
  • FluencyWhat it asksCan you do it quickly and correctly?Example“What is 6 + 4?”
  • ReasoningWhat it asksCan you explain why? Is it true or false?Example“Max says 20 + 50 = 700. Is he right? How do you know?”
  • Problem solvingWhat it asksCan you use it in a new or tricky situation?Example“Find two numbers that make 10. Now find all of them.”

Many children in Korea are very strong at fluency. The school will also ask Lia to reason and explain in English. This is where you can help the most.

Full sentences

Teachers give children sentence stems. A sentence stem is the start of a sentence with gaps. Children fill the gaps and say the whole sentence. For example:

  • “The whole is ___. The parts are ___ and ___.”
  • “I know ___, so I know ___.”
  • “___ and ___ make 10.”

At home, when Lia gives a one-word answer, you can say: “Can you say it in a full sentence?” Then help her with a stem from this guide.

Background B

The five pictures (models)다섯 가지 그림 모델

Lia will see these pictures in class. Learn them once. You will use them all year.

A model is a picture that shows a maths idea. Models help children see the maths. Each model below has: what it is, how to make it at home, and what to say.

1. Ten frame

7 green and 3 red. 7 and 3 make 10.

What it is: A box with 10 spaces, in 2 rows of 5. It shows how many there are, and how many more make 10.

Make it at home: Cut 2 cups off an egg box of 12, so it has 10 cups. Or draw a 2 × 5 grid on paper. Use coins, beads or small toys as counters.

YOU“How many counters can you see?”
YOU“How many empty spaces are there?”
YOU“So how many more do we need to make 10?”
YOU“Look at the top row. It has 5. The top row is full, so we know there are at least 5.”

2. Part–whole model

1394
The whole is 13. The parts are 9 and 4.

What it is: One big circle at the top (the whole) and two circles under it (the parts). The parts together make the whole.

Make it at home: Draw three circles on paper. Put real counters in them.

YOU“This is the whole. The whole is 13.”
YOU“These are the parts. The parts are 9 and 4.”
YOU“9 and 4 make 13.”
YOU“If we take away one part from the whole, the other part is left.”

3. Bar model

169?
The whole is 16. One part is 9. What is the other part?

What it is: The part–whole idea drawn as long bars. The top bar is the whole. The bottom bars are the parts. It is very useful for story problems, because it shows what we know and what we need to find.

Make it at home: Cut strips of paper. Or draw rectangles. Write a question mark on the part you need to find.

YOU“The top bar is the whole. It is 16.”
YOU“This part is 9. This part is a mystery. What is it?”
YOU“9 plus what equals 16? Or: 16 take away 9 is what?”

4. Tens and ones (base 10)

3 tens and 4 ones = 34

What it is: A long stick is 1 ten (10 small cubes stuck together). A small cube is 1 one. The picture shows 3 tens and 4 ones, so the number is 34.

Make it at home: Make towers of 10 Lego bricks. Each tower is a ten. Single bricks are ones. Or tie 10 straws or 10 ice-cream sticks with a rubber band. You can also use money: ten 10 sen coins make RM1.

YOU“How many tens are there? How many ones?”
YOU“3 tens and 4 ones. That is 34.”
YOU“The 3 in 34 means 3 tens. It is worth 30.”
YOU“The 4 in 34 means 4 ones. It is worth 4.”

5. Number line

8910111213+2+3
8 + 5: jump 2 to get to 10, then jump 3 more. You land on 13.

What it is: A line with numbers in order. Adding means jumping forward (to the right). Subtracting means jumping back (to the left).

Make it at home: Use a ruler or a tape measure. Or write 0 to 20 on sticky notes on the floor, and let Lia jump on them.

YOU“Put your finger on 8.”
YOU“Jump forward 2. Where are you now?”
LIA10!
YOU“Good. Now jump forward 3 more. Where are you?”
LIA13.
YOU“So 8 add 5 is 13.”
One more picture

Lia may also see a rekenrek in class. It is a bead frame with two rows of 10 beads. The beads change colour after 5, so children can see 5 and 10 at a glance. It shows the same ideas as the ten frame.

Add by making 10 (with the rekenrek) →

10s on a number line수직선에서 10씩 세기

Count in 10s along the line. Each interval is worth 10.

A number line shows numbers in order. Small numbers are on the left. Big numbers are on the right.

This line goes from 0 to 100. It has 10 intervals (the gaps between the marks). Each interval is worth 10, so we count in 10s: 0, 10, 20, 30 … 100.

When only the ends have numbers, count in 10s from the nearest number you know.

Make a 10s line

DODraw a long line on the paper. Write 0 at the left end and 100 at the right end.
DOLay the 10 towers along the line, end to end. Draw a mark where each tower ends.
YOU“How many towers are there? How much is each tower worth?”
LIA10 towers. Each one is 10.
YOU“Let's count in 10s along the line. 10, 20, 30 …”
LIA… 80, 90, 100!

Find the missing numbers

DOWrite all the 10s on the line. Then cover some of them with sticky notes. Leave 0 and 100.
YOU“What number is under this sticky note?”
LIA70.
YOU“How do you know?”
LIAI counted in 10s from 0. 10, 20 … 70.
YOU“And this one, next to 100?”
LIA90. It is 10 less than 100.

Counting back from the nearer end is quicker. Praise it when Lia does it.

Where is the arrow?

DODraw an arrow above the third mark from 0.
YOU“What number is the arrow pointing to?”
LIA3?
YOU“Each interval is worth 10, not 1. Count the jumps in 10s.”
LIA10, 20, 30. It is 30!

Many children count the marks as 1, 2, 3. Before every number line, ask: “What is each interval worth?”

  • “What number is the arrow pointing to?”
  • “Which number goes here?”
  • “What number is missing?”
  • “Count in 10s along the line.”
  • “How many 10s is that?”
  • “Count back from 100.”
  • “Label the number line.”
  • “Complete the number line.”
  • “What number is the arrow pointing to?”
  • “How many intervals are there from 0 to 100?”

    Note

    10. Each one is worth 10.

  • “Where did you start counting? Why?”

    Good answers

    “From 0.” / “From 100. I counted back because it was closer.”

  • “Is the arrow nearer to 0 or to 100?”

    Note

    This helps her check that the answer makes sense.

  • When

    Lia reads the arrow on the third mark as “3”.

    “What is each interval worth?” Lay a tower of 10 on each interval and count the towers in 10s.

  • When

    She writes 1, 2, 3 in the boxes.

    “Look at the ends. 0 and 100. Can we get to 100 in 1s with only 10 jumps?” Count in 10s together.

  • When

    She counts from 0 every time, even next to 100.

    Point at the nearest number with a label. “Start here. Count back in 10s from 100.”

Game · Floor number line

You need: masking tape on the floor, 11 paper cards with 0, 10, 20 … 100

  1. Tape a long line on the floor. Put 0 at one end and 100 at the other end.
  2. Lia puts the cards 10, 20 … 90 in the right places. Then she walks along the line and counts in 10s.
  3. Call a number: “70!” Lia jumps to it. Then swap: Lia calls a number and you jump.
In the workbook

Fill in the 10s on number lines, and read where the arrows point.

10s and 1s on a number line수직선에서 10과 1로 읽기

Find the nearest 10 first. Then count on or back in 1s.

한국어 요약

Every number lives between two 10s. 47 is between 40 and 50. It is 7 more than 40 and 3 less than 50, so it is closer to 50.

To find a number, go to the nearest 10 first. Then count on (or back) in 1s. Do not start from 0.

Some lines are short, like 40 to 50. Read the first number first. A number line does not always start at 0.

Between two 10s

DOBuild 47: 4 towers of 10 and 7 single bricks.
YOU“Which two 10s is 47 between?”
LIA40 and 50.
YOU“Is it closer to 40 or to 50?”
LIA50. Only 3 more bricks make another 10.

Start at the nearest 10

DOPoint to 80 on the paper line.
YOU“Find 82. Do we start from 0?”
LIANo. Start at 80. 81, 82.
YOU“Now find 89. Which 10 is closer, 80 or 90?”
LIA90. Count back 1: 89.

Counting from the nearest 10 is fast. Counting from 0 is slow and easy to get wrong.

A short line

DODraw a short line. Write 40 at the start and 50 at the end. Draw 9 small marks in between.
DODraw an arrow above the sixth mark.
YOU“What number is the arrow pointing to?”
LIA6?
YOU“Look at the start of the line. What number is it?”
LIA40. Oh, so it is 46!

Ask Lia to read the first number out loud before she counts. Do this on every short line.

Put it on the line

YOU“Draw an arrow to show where 74 goes.”
LIAIt is between 70 and 80. Start at 70: 71, 72, 73, 74. Here.
YOU“Is 74 closer to 70 or to 80?”
LIACloser to 70.
  • “Which two 10s is it between?”
  • “Is it closer to 40 or to 50?”
  • “Start at the nearest 10.”
  • “Count on in 1s.”
  • “Count back from 50.”
  • “What number does the line start at?”
  • “Complete the number line.”
  • “What number is the arrow pointing to?”
  • “Draw an arrow to show where 74 goes.”
  • “Mark 38 on the number line.”
  • “Which two 10s is 37 between?”

    Good answers

    “30 and 40. It is closer to 40.”

  • “Did you start from 0? Is there a quicker way?”

    Good answers

    “I started at 80 because it was the nearest 10.”

  • “What number does this line start at?”

    Note

    Ask it before every short line.

  • When

    Lia counts every mark from 0, one by one.

    Cover the start of the line with your hand. “Find the nearest 10 first. Then count on in 1s.”

  • When

    On a line from 40 to 50, she reads the arrow as “6”.

    “Read the first number first. What is it?” Then count on together from 40: 41, 42 … 46.

  • When

    She puts 89 just after 80.

    “Is 89 closer to 80 or to 90?” Show it with bricks: 89 needs only 1 more to make 90.

Game · Big step, small steps

You need: the floor number line from Part 1

  1. Call a number, like 53. Lia jumps to the nearest 10 first (50). Then she takes small steps: 51, 52, 53.
  2. Before she moves, she says which 10 is closer: “53 is closer to 50.”
  3. Swap. Lia calls a number for you. Make a mistake on purpose. Can she catch it?

눈금마다 숫자가 없을 때 한 칸의 값(1, 2, 5, 10)을 찾는 법을 영어로 가르쳐요. 숫자가 있는 두 눈금 사이를 몇 칸으로 나눴는지 세고 그 값으로 뛰어 세는 대본을 담았어요. 길이·무게 단원의 눈금 읽기와 같은 생각이에요.

Not every interval is worth 1. It can be worth 1, 2, 5 or 10. Before you read a number line, ask: “What is each interval worth?”

Find two marks that have numbers. Count the intervals between them. 0 to 10 in 5 intervals → each one is worth 2. 0 to 10 in 2 intervals → each one is worth 5.

Then count in that step: 2, 4, 6 … or 5, 10, 15 …

010
5 intervals from 0 to 10. Each one is worth 2.

  • Paper and a pencil
  • A ruler, or a kitchen scale or jug with marks on it, if you have one
  • Counters or small toys to jump along the line
YOU 부모가 할 말LIA 아이가 할 만한 대답DO 손으로 할 일

Count the intervals

DODraw a line from 0 to 10 with 4 marks in between. That makes 5 intervals.
YOU“How many intervals are there from 0 to 10?”
LIA5.
YOU“5 jumps make 10. So each jump is worth …?”
LIA2! 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

Count the intervals (the gaps), not the marks. This line has 6 marks but only 5 intervals.

Same numbers, different steps

DODraw another line from 0 to 10, with only one mark in the middle.
YOU“How many intervals now?”
LIA2. So each one is 5.
YOU“The numbers at the ends are the same. Only the intervals are different.”

Read the arrow

DODraw a line from 50 to 100. Write 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100. Add one mark between each pair. Draw an arrow above the mark between 80 and 90.
YOU“What is each interval worth?”
LIA5. There are 2 jumps from 80 to 90.
YOU“So the arrow is pointing to …?”
LIA85.
  • “What is each interval worth?”
  • “What is each jump worth?”
  • “How many intervals are there between 0 and 10?”
  • “What are we counting in?”
  • “Are we counting in 2s, 5s or 10s?”
  • “What is each interval worth?”
  • “Complete the number line.”
  • “What number is the arrow pointing to?”
  • “How did you work out the interval?”

    Good answers

    “There are 5 jumps from 0 to 10. 5 jumps of 2 make 10.”

  • “What would this line look like if each interval was worth 1?”

    Note

    It would have 10 intervals from 0 to 10.

  • “Where else do we see lines like this?”

    Note

    Rulers, kitchen scales, jugs and thermometers all have marks like this.

  • When

    Lia counts each interval as 1.

    “Look at the two numbers, 0 and 10. How many jumps? Can 5 jumps of 1 get to 10?”

  • When

    She counts the marks, not the intervals.

    Put a counter on 0. Jump it to each mark and count the jumps, not the marks.

  • When

    She counts every mark from 0 again for each arrow.

    Start at the nearest number with a label, then count in the step from there: “80, 85.”

Coming later

Rulers, scales and thermometers work in the same way. When Lia reads a scale in the Year 2 length, mass and temperature lessons, she will ask the same question: “What is each interval worth?”

Game · Guess my step

You need: paper and a pencil

  1. Draw a line. Write a number at each end and draw the marks. Do not say what the step is.
  2. Lia says what each interval is worth and writes one missing number.
  3. Swap. Lia draws a line for you. Try steps of 2, 5 and 10.
In the workbook

Number lines in 2s, 5s and 10s: fill in the boxes, say what each interval is worth, and read the arrows.

Estimate on a number line수직선에서 어림하기

Find halfway. Which end is closer? A good estimate is close.

한국어 요약

To estimate is to find a number that is close. A good estimate is close. It does not have to be exact.

Use four steps. 1. Find halfway. 2. Is it closer to the start, to halfway or to the end? 3. Split the line into 10 parts in your head. 4. Check from the nearest number you know.

It works both ways. Read an arrow and say the number. Or take a number and draw an arrow where it goes.

Find halfway

DOShow a line with only 0 and 100 on it.
YOU“Where is halfway? Put your finger on it.”
LIAHere, in the middle.
YOU“What number is halfway between 0 and 100?”
LIA50.

Which end is closer?

DODraw an arrow a little past 70.
YOU“Is the arrow closer to 0 or to 100?”
LIATo 100. It is more than halfway.
YOU“So is the number more than 50 or less than 50?”
LIAMore. Maybe 60 or 70.

Split it in your head

YOU“Imagine 10 jumps of 10 from 0 to 100. Where would 60 and 70 be?”
DOLet Lia point to where 60 and 70 would be.
LIAThe arrow is near 70. It is about 70.
YOU“Great estimate. A good estimate is close. It does not have to be exact.”

Accept any answer that is close, like 67 or 73. Praise the steps she used, not only the number.

Now mark a number

YOU“Where does 10 go? Is 10 more or less than halfway?”
LIALess. Much less.
YOU“So is it close to 0, or close to 50?”
LIAClose to 0. Here.
DOLet Lia put the toy there. Then check with the 10s cards from Part 1.

Many young children put 10 near the middle of a 0–100 line. Asking about halfway is the quickest fix.

Check from a number you know

YOU“Mark 46.”
LIAIt is a bit less than halfway. Just before 50.
YOU“Check from 50. How far is 46 from 50?”
LIAOnly 4. So it is very close to halfway.
  • “Is it closer to 0 or to 100?”
  • “Where is halfway?”
  • “Is it more or less than halfway?”
  • “It is about 70.”
  • “It is a bit more than halfway.”
  • “It is a bit less than halfway.”
  • “Roughly where does 30 go?”
  • “Estimate the number the arrow is pointing to.”
  • “Draw an arrow to show where 28 goes.”
  • “Mark 85 on the number line.”
  • “Explain how you know.”
  • “Explain how you know.”

    Good answers

    “It is a bit more than halfway, so it is more than 50. It is near 60.”

  • “Is your estimate sensible?”

    Note

    If the arrow is near 100, an answer like 20 is not sensible.

  • “Is 10 more or less than halfway?”

    Good answers

    “Less. 10 is much less than 50, so it goes close to 0.”

  • “Can a different number also be a good estimate?”

    Note

    Yes. 67, 70 and 73 can all be good estimates for the same arrow.

  • When

    On a 0 to 100 line, Lia puts 10 near the middle.

    “Where is halfway? Is 10 more or less than halfway?” Then: “Is 10 close to 0, or close to 50?”

  • When

    She is upset because her estimate is not exactly right.

    “An estimate only needs to be close. 67 is a great estimate for 70.” Praise the steps she used.

  • When

    She counts tiny steps from 0 to find the arrow.

    Find halfway first. Then start from the nearest number you know: 0, 50 or 100.

  • When

    On a 0 to 20 line, she says halfway is 50.

    “What are the numbers at the ends? Halfway between 0 and 20 is 10.” Read the ends before you start.

Game · Stand on the number

You need: the floor line with only 0 and 100 on it, the 10s cards from Part 1

  1. Call a number: “Stand on 30!” Lia walks along the line and stops where she thinks 30 is.
  2. She says why: “30 is less than halfway, so I am closer to 0.”
  3. Check with the 10s cards. Close counts as a win! Then swap: you stand somewhere, and Lia estimates your number.
  • On a line from 0 to 50, where is halfway? Mark 30.
  • On a line from 20 to 40, which number is halfway?
In the workbook

Estimate arrows on lines from 0 to 100, 0 to 20 and 0 to 50, mark numbers with arrows, and decide if two friends are right.

Every day, ask these three questions

  • Question 1

    “What is each interval worth?”

  • Question 2

    “Where is halfway?”

  • Question 3

    “Explain how you know.”

Next in class

After these steps, the class will compare and order numbers. The number line helps there too: the number further to the right is greater. Later, the same idea comes back when Lia reads rulers and scales, and in Year 3 on number lines up to 1,000.
