Scheme of work Concepts

(The general ideas and areas to be introduced)
Subject
and Mathematics and Numeracy – Tens and Ones
• Two digit numbers are made up of tens and ones.
Topic • Cuisenaire can be used to represent numbers
• Addition and subtraction with tens and ones

Class P3
Knowledge
(What the children will know by the end of the teaching period)
• A 2 digit number is made up of tens and units
• 10 one rods are equal to 1 ten rod.
No. of pupils 27
• When to exchange rods with addition
•

Cross-curricular links
Skills
(What the children will be able to do by the end of the teaching period)

• Break a two digit number into tens and units.

• Add using cuisenaire rods.
• Add without cuisenaire rods.
• Exchange cuisenaire rods appropriately

Attitudes
(How children's feeling and emotions may have been affected by the end of
the teaching period)

Children will feel confident using Cuisenaire rods to perform addition

sums. They will feel independent working out answers on their own.

I have a different number and I only want

to know how many tens are in the number.
Think about how many ten rods I would
have out if I was to make the number.

Lesson 9 If I have number 12 and I want to add Children have notation cards and Children talk teacher Children can begin to
Children can number 13 to it. I will use a ten and two 1 cuisenare and are given some sums to through some addition add using cuisenaire
begin to add rods for twelve. Place in correct area of add. They use the cards and rods to on the board using
numbers using notation card. Thirteen is 1 ten and 3 ones. carry out the addition sums. large cuisenaire.

places of the notation cards. Now I have 2
tens and 5 ones. Overall I have 25. 12 add
13 is 25.
