This week in Maths, we’ve been practising counting in tens from 0 to 100.
For example:
0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50…
0 tens, 1 ten, 2 tens, 3 tens, 4 tens, 5 tens…
We’ve also been learning how to represent multiples of ten using both words and numerals. One important discovery is that every multiple of ten always ends with a zero.
To help us, we’ve been using the stem sentence:
“___ is made of ___ tens. ___ is a multiple of ten.”
We’ve been practising showing numbers in lots of different ways on our whiteboards too.
Well done Year 2!
Help at home:
- Practise counting in tens together. Start from 0 and go up to 100 (0, 10, 20, 30…). Then try counting backwards from 100 to 0.
-
Ask your child to represent multiples of ten in different ways (e.g. using coins or drawing groups of ten).
-
Say a number (like 40) and ask your child to complete the stem sentence:
“40 is made of 4 tens. 40 is a multiple of ten.”
