Lesson details
Key learning points
- Decade numbers can be ordered on a number track by counting in tens or by looking at the number of tens in the number.
- You can compare decade numbers using greater than and less than.
Keywords
Greater than - Greater means a larger amount, so if a number is greater than another, it represents a larger amount.
Less than - Less means a smaller amount, so if a number is less than another, it represents a smaller amount.
Common misconception
Children may think that only consecutive numbers can be ordered.
Order non-consecutive numbers, then place back with other numbers on number track to consolidate understanding of their relative size.
