Place value - Represent numbers to 1,000 - Presentation

The lesson on representing numbers to 1,000 is designed to help students visualise and understand the concept of place value. It begins with a review of what it means to represent numbers in different ways, prompting students to recall and give examples from prior knowledge. The teaching slides guide students through a series of activities where they complete sentences to identify the number of tens and ones in a given number, and then state the total number. For instance, they are shown a bead string and asked to count the grouped beads to determine the number it represents, enhancing their understanding of place value.

Further activities include matching numbers to their correct representations, such as associating 'three tens and four ones' with the number 43. This visual approach is reinforced with bead strings and other resources to illustrate the concept of tens and ones. Students are also encouraged to represent given numbers, such as 67 and 90, in four different ways, fostering flexibility in thinking about number composition. Reasoning tasks challenge students to place numbers correctly on number lines and identify errors in representations, such as reversing tens and ones. The lesson concludes with independent work and discussions on the effectiveness of different resources in representing larger numbers and the efficiency of various counting methods.
