Lesson details
Key learning points
- One more and one less can be used to order numbers 0 to 10
- A number line shows the position of numbers 0 to 10
- On a 0 to 10 number line, 5 is in the middle. It is the midpoint.
- Knowledge of relative size of 6, 7, 8, 9 can be used to position these numbers on the number line.
Keywords
Number line - A line with numbers placed in their correct position.
Order - You can order numbers from the smallest to the largest or from the largest to the smallest. The order stays the same when you count.
One more - One more than is when there is a greater amount by one or another item in the set.
One less - One less than is when there is a smaller value by one.
Common misconception
Pupils do not understand that intervals or marks on a number line need to be equally spaced and that in these cases each mark represents one number.
Make connections between number tracks and number lines showing that the intervals are counted on a number line. Expose pupils to vertical and horizontal number lines showing all numbers, including beyond 10, to familiarise them with their structure.
