Cambridge Primary Maths Mapping Stage 2
Number Stage 2
Clapping Times
If you count from 1 to 20 and clap more loudly on the numbers in the two times table, as well as saying those numbers loudly, which numbers will be loud?
Snail One Hundred
In this game, you throw a dice and move counters along the snail's body and in a spiral around the snail's shell. It is about understanding tens and ones.
The Add and Take-away Path
Two children made up a game as they walked along the garden paths. Can you find out their scores? Can you find some paths of your own?
Are You Well Balanced?
Can you work out how to make each side of this balance equally balanced? You can put more than one weight on a hook.
Cube Bricks and Daisy Chains
Daisy and Akram were making number patterns. Daisy was using beads that looked like flowers and Akram was using cube bricks. First they were counting in twos.
Constant Counting
You can make a calculator count for you by any number you choose. You can count by ones to reach 24. You can count by twos to reach 24. What else can you count by to reach 24?
Two-digit Targets
You have a set of the digits from 0 to 9. Can you arrange these in the five boxes to make two-digit numbers as close to the targets as possible?
Skip Counting
Find the squares that Froggie skips onto to get to the pumpkin patch. She starts on 3 and finishes on 30, but she lands only on a square that has a number 3 more than the square she skips from.
Butterfly Flowers
Can you find two butterflies to go on each flower so that the numbers on each pair of butterflies adds to the number on their flower?
Sort Them Out (1)
Can you each work out the number on your card? What do you notice? How could you sort the cards?
Unit Differences
This challenge is about finding the difference between numbers which have the same tens digit.
Bugs in the Garden
In Sam and Jill's garden there are two sorts of bugs with 7 spots or 4 spots. What numbers of total spots can you make?
Secret Number
Annie and Ben are playing a game with a calculator. What was Annie's secret number?
Queue
25 students are queuing in a straight line. How many are there between Julia and Jenny?
Making Shapes
Arrange any number of counters from these 18 on the grid to make a rectangle. What numbers of counters make rectangles? How many different rectangles can you make with each number of counters?
Wallpaper
These pieces of wallpaper need to be ordered from smallest to largest. Can you find a way to do it?
Noah
Noah saw 12 legs walk by into the Ark. How many creatures did he see?
Magic Plant
On Friday the magic plant was only 2 centimetres tall. Every day it doubled its height. How tall was it on Monday?
What Number?
I am less than 25. My ones digit is twice my tens digit. My digits add up to an even number.
Making Sticks
Kimie and Sebastian were making sticks from interlocking cubes and lining them up. Can they make their lines the same length? Can they make any other lines?
Halving
These pictures show squares split into halves. Can you find other ways?
2, 4, 6, 8
Using the cards 2, 4, 6, 8, +, - and =, what number statements can you make?
Grouping Goodies
Pat counts her sweets in different groups and both times she has some left over. How many sweets could she have had?
Largest EvenLive
How would you create the largest possible two-digit even number from the digit I've given you and one of your choice?
How Would We Count?
An activity centred around observations of dots and how we visualise number arrangement patterns.
Strike it Out
Use your addition and subtraction skills, combined with some strategic thinking, to beat your partner at this game.
That Number Square
Exploring the structure of a number square: how quickly can you put the number tiles in the right place on the grid?
Let Us Divide!
Look at different ways of dividing things. What do they mean? How might you show them in a picture, with things, with numbers and symbols?
Coded Hundred Square
This 100 square jigsaw is written in code. It starts with 1 and ends with 100. Can you build it up?
Fingers and Hands
How would you count the number of fingers in these pictures?

Turning
Use your mouse to move the red and green parts of this disc. Can you make images which show the turnings described?
Opening Patterns
Look at some of the patterns in the Olympic Opening ceremonies and see what shapes you can spot.
Data Shapes
Sara and Will were sorting some pictures of shapes on cards. "I'll collect the circles," said Sara. "I'll take the red ones," answered Will. Can you see any cards they would both want?
Turning Man

Shadow Play
Here are shadows of some 3D shapes. What shapes could have made them?
Tangrams
Can you make five differently sized squares from the interactive tangram pieces?
Measure Stage 2
Matching Time
Try this matching game which will help you recognise different ways of saying the same time interval.
Sizing Them Up
Can you put these shapes in order of size? Start with the smallest.
Can You Do it Too?
Try some throwing activities and see whether you can throw something as far as the Olympic hammer or discus throwers.
Bottles (2)
In this activity focusing on capacity, you will need a collection of different jars and bottles.
Who Can Be the Winner?

Sticky Data
You'll need to work in a group on this problem. Use your sticky notes to show the answer to questions such as 'how many girls are there in your group?'.
