Counting in 100s to 1000 - PowerPoint

Designed for Year 3 pupils, the Maths Teaching Resources introduce the concept of counting in hundreds up to a thousand. The lesson aims to practice this counting technique through a series of engaging activities. It begins with a simple explanation that counting in 100s involves sequentially adding 100 to the previous number, starting from zero. Students are then presented with a sequence of numbers, such as 0, 100, 200, and so on, and are asked to predict the next number in the series. This approach helps to solidify their understanding of the pattern and prepares them for more complex counting exercises.

To further aid in the learning process, the resources provide 'Top Tips' for remembering the 100 times table, highlighting that there are ten lots of 100 in every 1000, and that the answers always end in two zeros. The tips also remind students that 100 is one-tenth of 1000 and encourage them to use their knowledge of the 10 times table to multiply by 10 for quick calculations. The interactive element of the lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation where each slide reveals a number, prompting students to find the next number in the sequence within a second before being timed out. Additionally, a worksheet is available for students to fill in missing numbers in a sequence, offering both the challenge and the practice needed to master counting in 100s to 1000.
