Year 1 - Maths
Composition of numbers 11 to 19
In this unit pupils will explain 11-19 as cardinal and ordinal numbers. They will double and halve numbers 6-9 and use addition and subtraction facts to add and subtract within 20.
You will learn to explain that the digits in the numbers 11 to 19 express quantity.
The digits in the numbers 11-19 tell us about their value. The teen numbers are between 10 and 20.
A number made of a ten (a group of 10 ones) and some additional ones. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
Mistake: Pupils confuse e.g. 18 and 80 because they sound similar. Correction: Take time to emphasise the pronunciation of the teen numbers and provide lots of opportunities for pupils to say and repeat the words. You may wish to practise the teen and decade numbers side by side so pupils can hear the difference.
