Place Value within 20 - Tens and ones ten frame - Planning

The first lesson in the Year 1 Autumn term's maths planning on Place Value within 20 introduces the concept of tens and ones using a ten frame. The resources provided for this lesson include differentiated worksheets, teaching slides, and concrete resources such as base 10 blocks or counters. Key vocabulary such as 'tens', 'ones', and 'ten frame' are highlighted, with the website offering vocabulary cards and definitions for further support. The lesson starts with children practising spelling 'teen' numbers and paying particular attention to commonly confused ones like eleven and twelve. A recap of previous learning emphasizes that numbers 11 to 19 consist of '1 ten and some more', and 10 and 20 are made up of tens only. Students use base 10 blocks to visualize this concept, with lines representing tens and dots for ones, and apply this understanding to fill out ten frames on their worksheets.

During the class, partner work encourages children to discuss and articulate their understanding of the place value in full sentences. A practical activity involves pairs of students using ten frames and counters to create 'teens' numbers, reinforcing the concept that one ten frame is always filled, representing 'one ten', and the second frame shows the 'ones'. Through hands-on experience with concrete resources, children learn to match 'teens' numbers with their representations and verbalize their observations using the provided stem sentences. Key questions guide the students to explore further aspects of place value, such as the comparison of tens and ones and the significance of the 'teen' suffix. The lesson aims to correct common misconceptions, such as confusing the value of digits in two-digit numbers. The plenary session, 'Give me five', prompts students to reflect on what they've learned, the skills they've used and found challenging, and what they will remember from the lesson. Differentiated activities cater to varying levels of proficiency, from working towards understanding to achieving greater depth in recognizing the place value of numbers up to 20.
