      Represent multiples of ten using their numerals and names

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can represent multiples of ten using numbers and names.

      Key learning points

      1. All multiples of ten have a zero in the ones.
      2. This is the number 30 and the 3 represents three tens.
      3. __ tens is equal to __ty so three tens is equal to thirty.

      Keywords

      • Tens - Groups of ten objects.

      • Ones - Individual objects.

      • Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

      Common misconception

      Children may get the tens and teens numbers confused and may muddle up the digits when writing the numerals.

      Show numbers on a place value chart and talk about what each number represents. Take time to over pronounce teen and multiples of 10 words focusing on the sound of -teen and -ty and encouraging learners to practise with silly voices.

      Teacher tip

      Use a variety of representations and place value charts to explore the composition of multiples of ten. Explore how the number names can relate to the structure of the number. Use dual counting and the stem sentences to reinforce what each digit represents in the numbers.
