Lesson details
Key learning points
- Decade numbers can be ordered on a number track by counting in tens or by looking at the number of tens in the number.
- You can compare decade numbers using greater than and less than.
Keywords
Greater than - Greater means a larger amount, so if a number is greater than another, it represents a larger amount.
Less than - Less means a smaller amount, so if a number is less than another, it represents a smaller amount.
Common misconception
Children may think that only consecutive numbers can be ordered.
Order non-consecutive numbers, then place back with other numbers on number track to consolidate understanding of their relative size.
Ensure that children have opportunities to see decade numbers and to work practically with groups of 10 objects, so they gain a sense of the size of the quantities they represent.
