Place value - Count objects to 100 - Worksheet

The 'Counting Objects to 100' worksheet is a comprehensive resource designed to help Year 6 students develop their understanding of place value and number representation. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to ensure children can read and write numbers up to at least 100, both in numerals and words, and identify and represent these numbers in various ways. To achieve this, practical equipment is used to facilitate counting in tens and ones, with differentiated sheets and teaching slides provided to cater to different learning needs. The key vocabulary for the lesson includes 'numerals', 'represent', and 'strategy', ensuring students are familiar with the terms related to the topic.

During the lesson, children engage in activities that involve looking at images and representing the depicted numbers in both numerals and words. They work with base ten and place value counters to count in tens initially, and then combine tens and ones for a more complex understanding of numbers within 100. The worksheet encourages reasoning and problem-solving, with tasks that prompt students to use simple equipment to represent numbers in tens and then progress to more open-ended tasks. For example, they might reason that two fives make ten and count objects accordingly. A variety of questions challenge students to think about the numbers they find tricky to write in words, the differences between similar-sounding numbers, and the strategies they can use to count effectively.
