ANY BOOKLISTS HERE ARE FOR THE OLDER WEEKLY PLANS – they are NOT for the new Flexible Blocks which have their own booklists accessible here: https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/flexible-blocks-booklists/
Flexible Blocks
Maths: Hamilton's short maths blocks have all the benefits of our weekly plans. They also provide support and resources that were simply not possible when we produced the weekly plans. Find out about the advantages of short blocks.
Problem-solving Investigations - Year 2
The problem-solving investigations below match Hamilton’s weekly maths plans. We now also provide Year 2 maths as short blocks. We will eventually be phasing out the plans, as we believe our short blocks offer you all of the same advantages and more, including the integration of the problem-solving investigations into each unit of study. Find out more about the advantages of Hamilton's short blocks.

Children look for multiples of 2p and 5p, then 3p and 5p with given totals to solve a problem on Tri Island.
Children use trial and improvement to place numbers in a grid to give a pair of diagonals whose sum is equal to 100.
Children add up amounts to find out how much their name is worth! They try to give themselves a new name that is worth exactly a pound.
Children explore which numbers are ‘golden numbers’ when we are counting in steps of different sizes. They begin to derive an understanding of factors.

Children find pairs of numbers to satisfy an equality. The look for patterns and test ideas.
Children arrange place value cards to make three-digit numbers and then add the digits. They look at patterns.
