Lesson details
Key learning points
- Knowledge of place value can help when counting forwards across the 100 boundary.
- Knowledge of place value can help when counting backwards across the 100 boundary.
- Knowing the pattern of counting in 10s can help us when counting forwards and backwards across the 100 boundary.
Keywords
100s boundary - The point at which the numbers change into 100s numbers or from one set of hundreds to another.
Pattern - When objects or numbers are arranged following a rule. A pattern is a repeated set of numbers, shapes or objects.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle crossing over the hundreds boundary (99 to 100, and back from 100 to 99).
It may help pupils to understand that 100 is ten lots of ten. This is the lesson focus and pupils will have lots of practise opportunities.
Encourage pupils to see the patterns and structure in the number system. This is particularly important when moving from 2- to 3-digit numbers and understanding the use of 0 as a place holder (e.g. in 103).
