Year One - Maths Understanding teen numbers
Over the last couple of days, we have been really focussing on understanding teen numbers. The children have learnt that numbers like 14 are made up of one ten and four ones, building a strong sense of place value.
We have enjoyed a range of hands‑on activities, played games, and had lots of fun exploring what is similar and different between the teen numbers.
Fun Activity Idea to Try at Home:
Why not have a go at a Teen Number Treasure Hunt?
Hide groups of objects around the house—such as 10 buttons and 6 lego bricks and ask your child to find them, bring them together, and build a teen number. They can then say the number using place value language, like “one ten and six ones… that makes 16!” It’s a simple, active way to reinforce their learning.
