Key Concepts

  • Counting from 60 to 69
  • Understanding tens and ones in numbers 60-69
  • Identifying missing numbers in a sequence

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to count forward and backward from 60 to 69.
  • Students will be able to identify the number of tens and ones in numbers from 60 to 69.
  • Students will be able to fill in missing numbers in a sequence from 60 to 69.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Start by asking students if they know how to count past 50. Briefly review counting to 59. Introduce the numbers 60 to 69 as the next set of numbers they will learn.
  • Counting Together (7 mins)
    Watch the YouTube video "Learn Grade 1 - Maths - Practicing 60 to 69" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHfhF38r5_A). As the video counts from 60 to 69 in ascending and descending order, have the students count along. Pause the video after each sequence to reinforce the numbers.
  • Tens and Ones (8 mins)
    After the video demonstrates tens and ones, explain the concept of tens and ones using manipulatives (e.g., linking cubes). Show that 60 is 6 groups of ten and zero ones. Then do examples for 61, 62, 63, etc. Ask students to identify the tens and ones in given numbers within the range.
  • Missing Number Game (10 mins)
    Write number sequences on the board with missing numbers (e.g., 62, __, 64). Have students take turns filling in the missing numbers. Increase difficulty by having two missing numbers in a sequence.
  • Ordering Activity (10 mins)
    Give each student a set of number cards with numbers from 60 to 69. Have them arrange the cards in ascending and descending order. Check their work as they complete the activity.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number Line Race
    Create a number line from 60 to 69 on the floor. Divide students into teams. Call out a number, and have one student from each team race to stand on that number on the number line. The first student to reach the number wins a point for their team.
  • Building Numbers with Blocks
    Provide students with blocks that can be linked together. Ask them to build different numbers from 60-69 using the blocks to represent tens and ones. For example, for 64, they would build 6 towers of ten blocks each, and then add 4 single blocks.
