Understanding tens and ones - Your math foundation!
Think of place value like learning to build with LEGO blocks. Just as you need to understand individual blocks before building amazing creations, you need to understand ones and tens before doing bigger calculations. This is the most important skill in Year 2 – everything else depends on it!
Recognize quantities 1-10 without counting - learn subitizing!
Practice number bonds to 10 and 20 — pairs that sum to make ten!
Decompose 2-digit numbers into tens and ones — 47 = 4 tens and 7 ones!
Use >, <, = symbols to compare and order numbers
Count in 2s, 5s, 10s, and 3s - building blocks for multiplication!
Begin with activities marked with 1 star, then progress to harder ones!
Just 15 minutes a day builds strong number sense and confidence!
