The Forties - PowerPoint

In this set of engaging maths teaching resources, Key Stage 1 pupils are invited to deepen their understanding of numbers and place value, specifically focusing on the numbers from 40 to 50. The lesson begins with an interactive element where pupils are encouraged to practise reading these numbers in both numerals and words. A clear learning objective is set: to recognise and be able to read aloud the numbers that fall within the 'forties' range. This is achieved through a series of slides that present each number from 40 to 50, one by one, in a large, easy-to-read format. Pupils are prompted to say the numbers out loud, reinforcing their verbal skills alongside numerical recognition.

The learning continues with exercises that challenge pupils to identify the sequence of numbers, both in numeral form and written words. They are asked to determine which number comes next in a sequence, as well as which number precedes a given one. This not only aids in consolidating their knowledge of the number order but also in understanding the concept of before and after in a numerical context. To add a fun and auditory dimension to the lesson, there's even a link to a song about numbers in the forties, making the learning experience more dynamic and memorable. The worksheets provided require pupils to match numerals to their corresponding number words, completing number sequences, and identifying numbers that come before and after given ones, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the forties.
