What should a y2 child be able to do in maths?

Never know whether to be concerned. Dd is in the top group according to her teacher and so doing well enough I should imagine. Trouble is she seems to find it so laborious and I wonder whether that might be a sign she is struggling.
Comparing her with her siblings is a bit pointless as they all found maths incredibly easy and so that might be why I am concerned.Certainly they would give answers instantaneously whereas dd has to work to find them.
So what exactly should dd be able to do?

Thank you it seems as though she is pretty much on target even if she does have to work at it I think having a house full of number addicts clouds my judgement.Dd much prefers the literacy side so quite a novelty to me (no need to employ bribery to get her to read

Are those still up to date (I see they were made in 2001)? Have given me some good ideas for things to do with DS and DD

they're pretty much inline with more recent expectations, but there is now a far greater emphasis on problem solving, being able to solve word problems etc
