Place value - Represent numbers 2 - Presentation

The "Represent Numbers" presentation is an educational resource designed to assist students with understanding the concept of place value. It includes a series of activities that challenge students to match numbers with their correct pictorial representations. For example, one activity asks students to identify that 'three tens and four ones' is represented by the number 43. Another activity prompts students to match the number 35 with its visual representation. These exercises are aimed at reinforcing the concept of tens and ones, which are fundamental to grasping place value in two-digit numbers.

Further activities delve deeper into place value by encouraging students to represent numbers like 67 and 90 in four different ways, enhancing their ability to visualise and understand numbers in various forms. Additionally, reasoning tasks are introduced, such as placing the number 36 on different number lines, identifying errors in representations of numbers, and exploring the creation of two-digit numbers using digit cards. For instance, students must determine why the digit '0' cannot be used as a tens number and identify the largest and smallest numbers that can be formed from a given set of digits. Independent work sections also prompt students to engage with pictorial representations and assess whether they show the intended number, such as thirty-four, fostering critical thinking and consolidation of the place value concept.
