Year 1 Place Value to 50 Lesson Pack
Get pupils confident with two-digit numbers using this Year 1 place value to 50 lesson pack. This set of lessons supports children as they count to 50 by making tens, count forwards and backwards within 50, and begin to understand how numbers are made using tens and ones.
Children use ten frames, bead strings, number tracks and number grids to explore counting patterns and to practise counting larger groups efficiently. The lessons also help pupils represent numbers in different ways, including digits, number words, objects and tens-and-ones models, building secure foundations for later addition and subtraction.
