Year 2 counting in threes and fives Learning to count in different sized steps is still really important in Year 2. Our latest counting worksheets for are both quite tricky and should only be given when children are very confident and accurate with counting up to 100 in steps of one. Starting with a 2-digit number, children are asked to count on in threes or fives, recording the results as they count up. A lot of finger counting may well take place with these, which is actually a very effective way of working. We have also published a set of pages on estimating on a number line from 0 to 20. We already have a set on estimating from 0 to 10 but this is much trickier and children will need considerable leeway when considering whether an arrow has been placed correctly; probably half a centimetre either side is sufficient. I found this harder than I thought! Go to Year 2 Number and Counting
