Place value within 10 - Representing objects 2 - Presentation

The presentation is focused on teaching young learners about place value within the number 10, specifically on how to represent objects in multiple ways. The lesson encourages fluency and reasoning through a series of interactive activities. In the first activity, students are asked to complete a table by exploring different methods of representing a given number. This includes drawing a picture of the number, representing it with objects, writing it as a digit, and spelling it out as a word. For example, the number 5 can be shown with a picture, represented by the numeral '5', drawn, and written as 'five'. This multi-faceted approach helps students to understand that numbers can be expressed in various forms and aids in reinforcing their comprehension of place value.

Further into the lesson, reasoning skills are developed through questions that prompt students to think about numbers in context. They are asked to represent a certain number of objects, such as 5 glasses of orange juice, or to show a quantity less than 3, such as doughnuts. Additionally, they are challenged to demonstrate comparisons, like showing there are more blue umbrellas than green ones using counters or cubes. Finally, the presentation includes independent work where students must identify numbers from pictures, draw quantities, and express numbers both as digits and words. This structured approach ensures that children engage with the concept of place value in a hands-on, practical manner, enhancing their understanding and retention of the topic.
