Place value within 100 - Counting forwards and backwards within 100 - Planning

The Year 1 summer term lesson on "Place Value within 100" focuses on enhancing the pupils' ability to count forwards and backwards within the range of 100. The lesson is designed to build on their existing skills of counting within 50. Using a variety of resources such as worksheets, presentations, and mini whiteboards, children are encouraged to engage in a range of activities that support their understanding of place value. Key vocabulary for this lesson includes terms like 'hundred', 'hundred square', 'tens', 'forwards', 'backwards', and 'between'. The lesson begins with a recap of previous learning, followed by a class discussion on counting up to 100, potentially incorporating a counting song for engagement.

During the class, children participate in activities that involve counting forwards using ten frames and counters, identifying numbers on a number track, and recording their answers. They also practice counting backwards, with the teacher offering additional challenges for partner work. Reasoning exercises further develop the children's skills, asking them to identify hidden numbers and solve missing number problems. The lesson culminates with a dot-to-dot challenge that reinforces number sequencing. Differentiated worksheets provide independent learning opportunities, catering to various levels of understanding, from working towards the expected level to achieving greater depth. Throughout the lesson, children are prompted to reflect on what they've learned, the skills they've used, and any challenges they've faced, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of counting within 100.
