Explore the counting sequence for counting to 100 and beyond
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explore the counting sequence for counting to 100 and beyond.
Key learning points
- There is set counting sequence for counting to 100 and beyond.
- The patterns in the numbers make counting to 100 and beyond easier.
- The tens digit in a two-digit number indicates which decade it belongs to.
- The ones digit in two-digit number follows the pattern 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- We can count the numbers in two ways. This is called dual counting.
Keywords
Decade numbers - A set of ten numbers, all beginning with the same number of tens.
Digit - A single symbol used to make a numeral
Dual counting - Counting the same set of numbers in two different ways.
Common misconception
Children may think counting stops at 100 or the regularity of the pattern does not extend past 100
Count beyond 100 when rote counting, trailing off after 103 or 104 and discussing what would be next to make explicit that numbers do not 'end' at 10. Show numbers past 100 on equipment used.
Teacher tip
It is important to incorporate counting into daily routines. Rote counting allows children to become familiar with patterns, and counting whilst pointing to numerals teaches children to associate the number names with the digits that represent them.
