[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Hello, I am Mr McPartlin and together we’re going to practise counting to 20.
Whether it’s finding both your shoes, asking for three segments of an orange or sharing pencils equally between your friends at school, we are counting everyday, even if we don’t realise it.
Counting to 20 might seem daunting at first, but 20 is only ten more than ten. Are you ready?
Zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Well done! There are now ten counters in the chart.
Let’s continue to 20.
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Well done!
Did you notice that all of the numbers past ten are made up with a chart of ten counters plus extra ones?
Look closely as we count back from 20 at the counters.
20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.
One chart is full with ten counters and the other is empty.
Let’s countdown to zero.
Nine, eight, seven six, five, four, three, two, one, zero. Well done.
How many fish can you see? Are you ready?
Excellent. Let’s count the fish.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
There are 14 fish.
Have you noticed that after 11 and 12, both 13 and 14 end with “teen”?
In maths “teen” means ten.
So, 14 is called for four and ten. 14.
11 and 12, they are a little bit different.
However, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, they all end with “teen”.
Over to you now for a quick counting round.
When you see the flowers, I’d like you to count them as fast as you can.
Ready? Go!
You can pause the video if you need some more time.
How many flowers have you counted?
Well done. There are 11 flowers.
Ready for the next one? Excellent.
Even though you’re trying to count quickly try to count accurately.
How many dinosaurs can you see?
Are you ready? Great!
There are 17 dinosaurs.
Look at the spelling of 17.
Can you see how the word is made up of seven and the suffix “teen” again?
So, it’s seven and ten. 17.
Well done! Fan-tastic!
It is very important that you counted the dinosaurs correctly because if one went missing, it’s not great.
Next time you go outside, count how many trees you can see.
You could even count all of your socks and see whether you have 20.
Oh… clean socks only please.
