Place value within 100 - Counting to 100 - Presentation - Worksheet

Mastering the concept of place value within 100 is a pivotal step in a child's mathematical development. In the lesson 'Counting to 100', children build upon their understanding of numbers up to 50 by learning to count in tens, which helps to make the process quicker and more efficient. By utilising the hundred square, they are able to count both forwards and backwards within the range of 100, thereby solidifying their grasp of the numerical sequence. The worksheet accompanying the lesson prompts children to count objects in tens and then progress to listing numbers using the one hundred square, reinforcing their counting skills through visual aids and practical application.

Furthering their proficiency, the 'Fluency & Precision' section of the lesson challenges children to identify and write down numbers within specific ranges, such as between 52 and 56, or 77 and 80. To deepen their understanding, the worksheet also asks them to determine the missing number in a sequence, encouraging them to engage with the hundred square grid as a reference tool. The 'Reasoning & Problem Solving' section presents scenarios where children must apply their knowledge to identify errors and explain their reasoning, such as determining if a given number will be counted within a specified range. This comprehensive approach ensures that children not only learn to count to 100 but also develop critical thinking skills that will serve them well in their ongoing mathematical education.
