Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Objects can be put into groups of 10 to make them easier to count.
  2. You can recognise a group of 10 because when you separate them, there will be 10 objects.
  3. If there is not 10 in each group, they are not groups of 10.
  4. Groups of 10 can be called tens.

Common misconception

Any group of objects can be counted in tens.

Identify groups that do and do not have 10 objects, drawing attention to the fact that colour, orientation and size are not relevant.

Keywords

  • Group - Objects that are gathered together into a set are said to be in a group.

  • Separate - When a group of objects are taken or split apart they have been separated.

Allow lots of opportunities to construct and deconstruct groups of ten in the lesson. Find opportunities throughout the day where children can be encouraged to make groups of ten to count things quickly eg. when tidying away to check all are there.
