Key Concepts

  • Counting from 60 to 69
  • Understanding tens and ones in numbers 60-69
  • Ascending and descending order

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 60-69.
  • Students will be able to arrange the numbers from 60 to 69 in ascending and descending order.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students if they know how to count past 50. Introduce the video and explain that they will be learning about the numbers 60 to 69.
  • Video Viewing (7 mins)
    Play the YouTube video 'Learn Grade 1 - Maths - Introducing 60 to 69.' Encourage students to count along with the video.
  • Discussion (5 mins)
    After the video, review the numbers 60 to 69. Ask students what they noticed about the numbers (e.g., they all start with '6' in the tens place). Discuss the concept of tens and ones, using examples from the video (the strings of beads).
  • Activity 1: Number Sequencing (10 mins)
    Provide each student with number cards labeled 60 to 69. Have them arrange the cards in order from smallest to largest (ascending order) and then from largest to smallest (descending order).
  • Activity 2: Tens and Ones (10 mins)
    Use manipulatives like linking cubes or base ten blocks. Have students represent each number from 60 to 69 using the blocks, separating them into groups of tens and ones.
  • Wrap-up (3 mins)
    Review the key concepts and learning objectives. Briefly introduce the multiple-choice quiz and fill-in-the-blank quiz.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number Line Fun
    Create a number line from 60 to 70 on the board. Ask students to point to specific numbers on the number line. You can also ask them to hop from one number to another (e.g., start at 62, hop 3 spaces forward).
  • Building Numbers
    Use building blocks or LEGO bricks to represent numbers. For example, use 6 stacks of 10 blocks to represent 60, then add individual blocks to represent the ones place.
