Great mastery resource for using manipulatives and double sided counters. Thank you for producing and sharing this.

Double Sided Counters - KCS

Do not underestimate the amount of practice pupils may need to grasp that conceptual understanding! An important place value activity: the additive inverse property Time spent developing students’ understanding that 10 ones counters can be exchanged for 1 tens counter etc. must be prioritised before any additional work with counters can continue. The activity shows the children sets of 10 counters, that are red and yellow. The children need to work out how many of each colour there are and draw them on the ten-frame. This will help them to see how 10 can be composed in different ways. If you like this useful Number Bonds of 10 printable resource, then we have a host of other number bond exercises to support your maths teaching. You can use some of these recommendations alongside this Number Bonds of 10 activity, or to help you plan for future lessons along this theme. Here are some of our favourites: Place value counters and grids, on the other hand, are less concrete in that there is no physical difference between the counters, so the conceptual understanding developed with dienes must lead into using them for understanding to be transferred. Place value counters on a place value chartThere is then a challenge at the bottom of the sheet for the children to complete. They can look at the counters in the ten-frame and draw them above to show how many of each colour they need. To solve this, I would still encourage using double-sided counters. I would get four positive counters to demonstrate the initial temperature. When looking at place value, going from concrete to pictorial to abstract is important. The maths manipulatives shown below should be staples of every classroom from Early Years to Year 6. 1. Dienes for place value They have been designed to be used with a plavalmat® which is Oakfield Learning's more durable, flexible and re-useable alternative to place value grids and worksheets. This question can provide plenty of rich mathematical discussion which would be hard to document here.

This allows for constant repetition of this area of mathematics without devoting much more dedicated curriculum time to it. Place value problem solving and reasoning Year 5This is a good opportunity to introduce the additive inverse property to pupils. When you add a number to the same negative value e.g. 1 + (-1), you will always make zero, and this is known as a zero pair. Available in three different sets suited to the NC objectives making place value counters interactive and engaging to learners of different ages.
