Numbers to 100 can be a little bit tricky. 17 and 70 can seem very similar. We have been looking closely at how the two digit numbers are made up. There has been lots of talking about tens and ones (units). If a number is made up of seven tens then we know it is seventy. Whereas, is it has one ten and seven ones then it is seventeen. The more we practised, the easier it has become.

In small teams, we have been investigating how to partition these two digit numbers into their tens and ones.
We began by choosing three number cards and ordering them from smallest to biggest.
After that, we wrote the number as tens and ones before drawing it.
