**Year 2 FWC Resources** FWC files and resources for year 2 teachers. these files have been designed specifically for use with younger primary students.

 **One and Two Step Questions** This page contains video explanations of the principals underpinning simple math questions as well as five FWC files each with 10 investigative problems. The problems are scaffolded so young primary students will be able to investigate the problems in an

Mapping - Coordinates Worksheet  This is a simple mapping exercise which uses coordinates in the form (C,4) to specify locations on a map with a grid placed over it. You can use this exercise to do some coordinates work. There are different elements on different layers so you can change the questions on the top layer if you wish. Other suggestions include dropping the 8point compass onto the page and talking about direction from one location to another. You could also decide on a size of each of the grid squares and ask students to calculate the area of different locations on the map or the size of the island. The FWC file for Download

<span style="font-size: 156%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(34, 43, 98);">Fun With Estimation Use these protractors with no numbers on to practice perception of angles. There are two protractors - one with lines for units of 10 degrees and one with lines for units of 45 degrees.

Here's an FWC file with the two protractors in it. you can copy and paste them into a file you have made or create your own file using this template

Here's an exercise already set up where students estimate angles with the assistance of the protractors. They then measure the angle to see how accurate they were.

Watch a demo video on how to use these estimation protractors and see what the sample files look like. (Right click asn choose "Save As" to save this SWF file to your computer)
