Place value - Counting in 10s - Starter

In an engaging maths activity designed for Year 2 students during Autumn Term's Week 4, Day 3, the focus is on developing skills in place value by counting in tens. The worksheet provides a series of calculations that encourage children to apply their understanding of numbers and quantities. Students must determine the number of marbles in each jar, the number of jars, and then calculate the total number of marbles. They are also prompted to count different shapes, including cuboids, cylinders, pyramids, cubes, spheres, and cones, sharpening their ability to recognize and quantify 3D shapes.

The worksheet continues to challenge students with problems that require them to compare quantities. They must complete a sentence by deciding whether the amount of liquid in container 1 is 'greater than' or 'less than' the amount in container 2. Additionally, the children are tasked with solving a number sentence where they must find the missing number that, when added to 5, equals 13, and calculate the result of doubling 6 and then adding 3. These exercises are designed to reinforce their numerical fluency and comprehension of basic mathematical concepts such as addition and comparison, laying a solid foundation for further learning in mathematics.
