Read and write numbers

The CanDoMaths ArithmeKit 1.3 is an engaging resource from Buzzard Publishing that focuses on the recognition and writing of numbers. In one activity, students are presented with a list of number words alongside their corresponding numerical values. They are encouraged to notice patterns and create their own matching pairs. For example, the word 'Three' is matched with the number 14, and 'Five' is matched with the number 3. The task also includes a section where students must identify missing numbers and words to complete pairs such as 'Four = 12' and 'Fifteen = 5'. This activity is designed to enhance number literacy and conceptual understanding by connecting numerical symbols with their word representations.

Another section of the ArithmeKit encourages students to use addition facts related to the number six. Students are tasked with convincing a character named Colin that the numbers forty and fourteen are distinct, using practical resources. They are challenged to place digits in boxes to create true statements, such as finding a number between 3 and 8, or a number greater than twenty. The exercise also includes a problem-solving aspect, asking if there is more than one way to solve the problem using each of the digits 0-9 exactly once. Additionally, students are asked to agree or disagree with statements made by characters about certain numbers, such as whether 'thirteen' or 'thirty' is the correct interpretation of a number, further reinforcing their understanding of number names and values.
