Lesson One – Counting Towers
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to practise using a range of concrete equipment and number square diagrams to model and record how to count forward in different steps of ten to one hundred.
The class can explain and illustrate how to build some model towers using groups of ten cubes to support their calculation of the matching multiplication products.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise using a range of concrete equipment and number square diagrams to model and record how to count forward in different steps of ten to one hundred
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to identify and record how to calculate different number sums when counting in tens using concrete equipment and number squares to model the multiplication products.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use concrete equipment and number square diagrams to practise counting in different steps of ten.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to use concrete equipment and diagrams to record how to count in steps of two, five and ten to calculate the sums of different numbers of objects. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
