Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Objects can be put into groups of 10 to make them easier to count.
- Groups of 10 can be called tens.
- It is more efficient to skip count in tens than to count in ones
- Counting back in tens from the total amount can be used to check that the count was accurate.
Common misconception
Children may confuse the number of groups with the amount altogether, for example, they may count 4 groups of 10 as 4 not 40 They may also confuse the number of groups with the group size.
Draw a ring around each group of 10 whilst using the stem sentence to help describe what you are seeing as you identify each group.
