Year 2 Four Operations with Lengths

This Year 2 Four Operations with Lengths activity comprises questions to draw on pupils understanding of the four operations and apply their understanding to length. Pupils will calculate the length of an object by multiplying, match measurements to objects by adding and subtracting and work out the difference between measurements of different objects.

This activity is linked to the Classroom Secrets Year 2 Maths.

Questions in this activity are based on the content in Spring Block 5 Step 5 on the Classroom Secrets website where you can find more resources.
