Lesson 10: Let’s regroup amounts

Through visuals, this lesson will explore how each place value column is 10x greater than the last. Students will use this knowledge to regroup amounts. They will find the mystery number that each animal has made with their blocks.

Lesson 5: Let’s order numbers

This lesson builds on the ‘Compare Numbers’ lesson. Students will compare and order large numbers. Students will order animal athlete’s results.

Lesson 4: Let’s compare numbers

Students will explore how they can compare large numbers using our place value knowledge. They will use this knowledge to compare the total amount of exercises each animal has completed.

Lesson 3: Let’s expand 4-digit numbers

Students will expand numbers to explore the value of each digit. The lesson will continue with visual representations of the difference in value between place values. Students will be on the hunt for a ‘portal key’ to help them ‘escape the desert’!

Lesson 2: Let’s expand numbers

This lesson uses visual representations of each digit to conceptually show the difference in value between place value columns. Students will expand numbers and explore the value of each digit. They will make place value creatures with their expanded amounts.

Lesson 1: Let’s use place value

This is an introduction to the place value system. Students will build and model numbers, whilst using place value blocks and place value tables to represent numbers and explore the value of digits.
