Max Maths, Year 2, Learn together, Place value and counting to 100 (1)

In the 'Max Maths, Year 2' curriculum, young learners embark on an educational journey to grasp the fundamentals of place value and counting up to 100. The 'Learn Together' section introduces the concept of tens and their significance in forming larger numbers. The lesson starts with a simple yet effective illustration of how six groups of ten combine to create the number 60. This is visually represented by the numeral '60' followed by the written word 'sixty', reinforcing the connection between numerical and word form.

The learning continues with a similar example, where seven tens are shown to make 70. Again, the numeral '70' is presented alongside the word 'seventy', aiding children in understanding and memorising the relationship between the two forms. To further cement the concept of counting in tens, the character Padma encourages the students to count together in increments of ten, starting from 10 and continuing through 20, 30, and so on, up to 50. This interactive approach not only helps children recognise patterns in numbers but also builds a strong foundation for their numerical literacy as they progress towards higher numbers.
