Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. There are 10 tens in 100
  2. There are 100 ones in 100
  3. 100 can be represented in different ways and in different contexts

Keywords

  • Equivalent - When two or more things have the same value.

  • Numeral - A symbol or name that stands for a number.

Common misconception

Pupils do not identify that ten tens are equal to 100 and cannot decompose 100 in this way.

Base ten blocks or a bead string are useful tools to allow pupils to compose and decompose 100 into equal groups of ten.

Base ten blocks and other equipment that clearly show ten groups of ten and 100 groups of one are key for supporting pupils understanding in this lesson.
