The Thirties - PowerPoint

Key Stage 1 pupils are invited to explore the fascinating world of numbers, specifically focusing on the 'Thirties'—numbers from 30 to 40. The learning objective is to practice reading and recognizing these numbers both in numeral form and written out as words. The lesson begins with a simple question to engage the young learners: "What number comes after 29?" This sets the stage for a journey through the numbers 30 to 40. Students are encouraged to read the numbers aloud, reinforcing their understanding and pronunciation of each unique numeral and corresponding word.

Interactive learning is a crucial part of this lesson, with resources such as a song about numbers in the thirties available to make the experience enjoyable and memorable. Worksheets complement the learning, challenging students to identify the missing numbers in a sequence both before and after a given numeral. To further solidify their understanding, the children are tasked with matching numerals to the correct number words, drawing lines to connect them. This hands-on activity not only reinforces number recognition but also aids in developing fine motor skills and the ability to match different forms of representing the same number.
