Blake’s Learning Centres are a wonderful, motivating way for students to practise important skills. The 10 centres in this downloadable PDF resource are self-contained and portable, and students can work individually or in a group. Once you’ve made the centres, they are ready to use at any time.

This downloadable PDF resource contains full-colour materials to construct 10 easy-to-make centres. A Teacher Instructions page is included with each centre, as well as a Centre Checklist for recording students’ progress.

The centres contain:

• student directions/cover page 
• task cards and/or mat(s) 
• reproducible written practice sheets 
• answer key

Each centre supports the Australian Mathematics Curriculum for Year 2 by providing fun practice in key maths skills.

These include: 

• knowing place values in three-digit numbers
• skip counting by 5s, 10s and 100s to 1000 
• using place value to add and subtract 
• counting and ordering money using Australian coins 
• telling time to the nearest 5 minutes in analogue and digital 
• reading and using data on picture and column graphs
