Place Value within 20 - Numbers from 11 to 20 - Presentation

In an engaging presentation designed for young learners, the focus is on understanding place value within the number range of 11 to 20. The lesson encourages students to explore various representations of these numbers, prompting them to think critically about the sequence and characteristics of numbers within this range. Pupils are invited to draw pictures to visually represent numbers like 13, 15, and 16, and then discuss with their peers the similarities and differences in their representations. This interactive approach not only reinforces their comprehension of numbers but also allows them to appreciate the diverse ways in which numbers can be depicted.

Further activities within the presentation include completing tables to match numerals with their respective representations, and engaging in practical exercises using two ten frames to visually demonstrate numbers greater than 12 but less than 20. The lesson also incorporates reasoning challenges, such as the statement by a character named Malachi, who claims that it's impossible to create all the numbers from eleven to twenty using only the digits 1 through 9—a statement that sparks discussion and critical thinking, as students must consider the role of zero in forming the number twenty. In addition to these activities, the presentation suggests a matching game with number cards, promoting a playful yet educational approach to reinforcing the understanding of place value and the representation of numbers from 11 to 20.
