The Fifties - PowerPoint

In a series of educational slides aimed at Key Stage 1 pupils, the concept of number and place value within the range of the fifties is introduced and explored. The lesson begins by asking children to practice reading numbers from 50 to 60, both in numeral form and spelled out in words. The students are encouraged to vocalize the numbers, enhancing their familiarity with the sequence that begins right after 49. As a fun and engaging element, the children are also invited to listen to a song about numbers in the fifties, likely to reinforce their learning through music and rhythm.

Further slides prompt the students to actively participate by reading aloud the numbers presented, starting with 50 and continuing up to 60. Each number is displayed on a separate slide, both as a numeral and written out, to aid recognition and understanding. Worksheets complement the slides, challenging the children to identify the missing numbers that come before or after a given number within the fifties range. To support visual learning, one of the worksheets requires matching numerals to their corresponding number words. This multi-faceted approach is designed to solidify the students' grasp of the number sequence and the spelling of these numbers, which is crucial for their mathematical development.
