Lesson details
Key learning points
- The numbers from 0 to 100 have patterns that can help us to count across the tens boundary.
- They are arranged differently on a number track and on a one hundred square.
- We can count the numbers in two ways.
- When a whole number ends in a 9, it is always followed by a decade number.
Keywords
Tens boundary - This is where the pattern of counting changes at the start of the number to show a new decade has started.
Decade number - This is a multiple of 10 which marks the tens boundary where the pattern of counting changes.
Common misconception
Confusion between the number after 29, 39 etc. so saying 29,20 or twenty-none, twenty -ten.
Explicitly look at the numbers that follow a number ending in 9 using stem sentence to support.
