Place value - Read and write numbers to 100 in numerals and words - Presentation

The lesson plan from Master the Curriculum is aimed at helping students to confidently read and write numbers up to 100 in both numerals and words. The lesson begins with a discussion about which numbers students find easy or difficult to read and write. Following this, the class engages in a series of activities designed to reinforce their understanding of place value and the correspondence between numerical representations and their word counterparts. For example, students are challenged to match numerals such as 33, 14, 23, and 40 with their written forms like 'thirty-three', 'fourteen', 'twenty-three', and 'forty', while also identifying the largest number and discussing any numbers that are tricky to write in words.

Further activities delve into the subtleties of the English language, where students explore numbers that sound similar, such as 'ninety' and 'nineteen' or 'fifty' and 'fifteen', and discuss how they differ. The lesson also incorporates reasoning tasks, where students must correct mistakes, such as identifying that Zach has confused the numbers 71 and 17, and count objects using strategies like ten frames to determine which sets are easier to count. Additionally, they practice calculating totals, like the number of cookies in jars, and expressing these totals in both numerals and words. Independent work reinforces the lesson's concepts, prompting students to match digits with their written names and solve problems involving money. The lesson concludes with a discussion about counting strategies and understanding numerical concepts such as one more/one less and the differences between numbers like 14 and 40.
