Place Value - Tens and Units

Understanding which number shows the tens and which number shows the units is very important. Here are some games which can help you do revision and practice. Have fun :)

Making a number

Venn Diagram

Sometimes we need to group things according to a common characteristic. We call this sorting and we used the Venn diagram to help us sort. We also said that when an object is part of both groups we put in the middle, where both groups overlap whereas if the object does not have any of the groups' characteristic we leave on the sideline.

Here are some exercise which can help you use the Venn Diagram more effectively.

- we are counting in tens

- all answers are even

- all answers end in 0

 Just a reminder to log into my city through Education City to do some more practice. Enjoy and have fun!!

We also made practice using the IWB and worked a couple of handouts. Here are some photos:

A cultural visit to Imdina

Today we visited Imdina, better known as 'The Silent City'. Imdina used to be the capital city of the Maltese Islands before Valletta was built. It is a fortified city because it is surrounded by bastions. We really enjoyed walking along its winding roads admiring its splendors. We visited the cathedral which is dedicated to St.Paul and also the audio-visual show of 'Tales of the Silent City' and 'Medieval Times'. Imdina played an important role in Maltese history and today it is a magnet for tourists. We are so proud of this gem :)

Here are some photos taken on this visit.......

Putting the 2 times table in action

Today we did further reinforcement on the 2 times table. We played games on the IWB ann on-line. We also did some written work. Here are some photos of us in action :-) You all did so well!!!!



Multiply by 2.

In today's lesson we saw a video about the 2 times table. You'll find the link to this video so that you can sing along whenever you want to.

You also mentioned that the 2 times table:

• all of the answers are even numbers
• we are counting in2's
• we are increasing the number by adding 2
• all of the answers are doubles.

Besides this, we also practiced by playing these games of which I am posting the link:

Here is another good song to practice counting in 2's

It is used with the pronouns He, She and It.
