Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Numbers between tens

In the 'Max Maths, Year 2' workbook, young learners are encouraged to explore numbers that sit between increments of ten. This exercise, titled 'Numbers between tens', is designed to help children understand the sequence of numbers and recognise that there are multiple possibilities that fit between each set of tens. For instance, they are asked to identify and write down a single number that fits between 20 and 30, then between 60 and 70, and so on, for several pairs of tens. This activity not only reinforces their counting skills but also aids in their comprehension of number order and the concept of 'greater than' and 'less than'.

The task is laid out clearly with pairs of tens, such as (a) 20 and 30, (b) 60 and 70, through to (f) 90 and 100, and students are prompted to fill in the gaps with an appropriate number. This activity is interactive and straightforward, making it an excellent way for children to practice and gain confidence in their number skills. After completing this task, students are directed to continue their learning by turning to page 26 in their workbook, where they can find additional exercises and practice problems to further solidify their understanding of numbers and their sequences.
