Ausvels link:
Count collections to 100 by partitioning numbers using place value (ACMNA014)

Learning intention for students: To be able to organise numbers into tens

and ones in relation to place value.

Goals for students:

To understand the terminology of tens and ones

To understand the 10 ones make a ten

Learning intention for teacher: To allow students time to develop the

concepts independently
Goals for teacher:

To use tactile materials and games to enable student learning.

To be clear in instructions to minimize class interruptions

Activity:

Musical numbers
As a warm up activity get students to play a version of musical numbers where
student have to get into groups. The purpose of this is to get students thinking of
groups of numbers.
When the music stops the teacher will call out a number and students have to
get that amount of people and sit down.
Ask students how many groups of X amount do we have?
How many groups of one do we have left over?
End the game with students getting into groups of 10
How many groups of ten do we have? How many groups of one left over?
Draw the tens and ones table on the board. Ask students how we can write our
groups on the chart

Using ten frames

The second activity is a game using ten frames and a dice.
With a partner students take turns in rolling the dice and colouring the number of
boxes on the ten frame. For example if they rolled a 6 they would colour a 6
boxes. They need to fill a ten frame before they begin on a next one.

Students have 1 minute to play

They then need to count how many the boxes they have and how many
ten frames (rectangles)

Share numbers with partner and check each others work

Who had more?

If the big boxes are one ten how many tens do you have? How many ones
are left over?

Lets add this to our table

Next students play again.

This time they will have a whiteboard to do a chart as well.

Each student will get 10 rolls of the dice to fill as many boxes as they can.
At the end of the game they need to count and check with their partner.
Then they need to write the number of tens and ones on their chart on the
whiteboard.
