Represent the numbers 6 to 10 using a five and a bit structure
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can represent the numbers 6 to 10 on my fingers and tens frames using the 5 and a bit structure.
Key learning points
- The numbers 6 to 9 are composed of 5 and a bit.
- Fingers and tens frame representations draw attention to the five and a bit structure.
- There are 5 fingers on each hand.
- Ten is composed of 5 and 5.
Keywords
Five and a bit - The numbers 6 to 10 can be made with 5 and a bit more.
Count - Count means to say the number names in order, the last number tells how many there are in the whole set.
Common misconception
Children may not be able to recognise five fingers on a hand or subitise numbers up to five in familiar arrangements such as dice patterns.
Play games to practise subitising and recognising five e.g. dominoes or dice games and finger games such as bunny ears. Allow regular opportunities for pupils to familiarise themselves with common patterns of numbers.
Teacher tip
Help children to become 'five wise' by seeing the 5 and a bit structure of the numbers 6 to 10. If children are secure with subitising to 5 they can quickly recognise the 'and a bit' part of these numbers. This will help develop a deeper understanding of the composition of these numbers.
