Represent numbers to ten
[THEME MUSIC]
[SCHOOL BELL RING]
Hello, I’m Mrs. Hudson and together we’re going to learn about numbers from one to ten and how many different ways we can represent or show a number.
If I said to you the number five, what would pop into your head?
Would you think of the numeral, the word, or maybe a picture for five?
Would you think of a family member who is five years old?
Perhaps the number on your front door has a five in it.
All numbers can be represented in lots of different ways.
Here are some of my pictures or representations of five.
Here I have five bricks in a row. When things are in a row they’re easier to count.
Let’s count them.
One,
two,
three,
four,
five.
Here is a domino with some spots on one side and some more spots on the other side.
How many spots are there altogether?
That’s right, there are five spots.
We write the number five in letters too. And we also have the numeral for five.
Can you think of some more?
You can also count the five using your fingers and thumb.
Look.
One,
two,
three,
four,
five.
Here is another number for you to look at.
The number six in spots. Here is the same number in bricks.
Did you know you could also write six in letters and as a numeral? Wow!
There’s a lot of different ways of showing six.
Let’s play a game. I will show you three clues. Look at these clues carefully and see if you can work out what the number is.
Are you ready? Here it goes.
Clue one. Here are some counters.
Clue two, here is a word. Do you know what this is?
Clue three. This number must be bigger than six. How much bigger?
Do you know what my number is?
That’s right, it’s seven. Well done if you guessed the correct number.
Let’s see if you can be a number detective again. Here are some more clues.
Clue one, here is my number using a bead string.
Clue two, here is the same number using some counters.
Clue three, here is the number written as a word.
Have you worked it out yet?
That’s right, it is the number 10.
Here is one more number.
Clue one: Oh, it’s a big hairy spider!
I wonder what this spider has in common with a certain number.
Clue two: How many spots
can you see on this domino?
Clue three: it’s the word version of this number.
Any ideas?
Yes, that’s right,
it’s the number eight.
Well done, number detectives.
Numbers can be split up too.
Let us go back to our number five.
Take a look at these purple stars. There are five stars, but we can also split these into two groups of stars.
One and four.
Two and three.
Three and two.
Four and one.
And five and zero.
Five can also be split into three groups of stars.
Here is a way to split five into three groups:
One, two and two.
Here is another way to do it:
One, three and one.
I can think of one more way. Can you?
Here it is:
One, one and three.
And when one, one and three are put together they make five.
Now you are super number detectives.
You can practise splitting and grouping numbers at home.
Put your things into different arrangements like lines, towers or rows and practise splitting them up into two or even three groups.
Great work today, detectives!
Description
Numbers can be shown in many different ways, they are everywhere! On the front of buses, on the doors of houses, on road signs and even on tins of food. Learn to represent numbers to ten with his video!
