Max Maths, Year 2, Learn together, Ordinal numbers to 50
Maths Resource Description
In a Max Maths learning module for Year 2 students, children are introduced to ordinal numbers up to 50 through an engaging and relatable scenario. The lesson, titled "Ordinal Numbers to 50," encourages students to visualize an apartment building and identify the different levels by their ordinal numbers. This practical approach helps them to understand and remember the sequence and naming convention of ordinal numbers.
The students are presented with a list of storeys in the apartment building, each labelled with its corresponding ordinal number. They learn to recognize and name ordinal numbers such as the 50th (fiftieth) storey, the 43rd (forty-third) storey, the 40th (fortieth) storey, and so on, down to the 10th (tenth) storey. This exercise not only helps them to grasp the concept of ordering but also to familiarize themselves with the special suffixes used for different numbers, such as "-st" for the 21st (twenty-first) storey, "-nd" for the 32nd (thirty-second) storey, and "-th" for the 30th (thirtieth) storey. Through this activity, children learn to confidently identify and articulate ordinal numbers up to the 50th position in a fun and interactive way.
