🔢 Numbers up to 100
Class 2 Maths · Unit 1 of 11 · about 120 minutes
This unit builds a strong foundation in place value for numbers up to 100. Children will learn to count, read, write, and represent numbers using tens and ones, understand expanded form, compare and order numbers, identify before/after/between, and classify numbers as odd or even. These skills are essential for all later arithmetic in Grade 2.
What your child will learn
- Students will be able to count objects up to 100 by grouping them into tens and ones.
- Students will be able to read and write two-digit numerals and number names up to 100.
- Students will be able to write a two-digit number in expanded form and state the place value of each digit.
- Students will be able to compare two two-digit numbers using place value and the symbols >, <, and =.
- Students will be able to arrange up to five two-digit numbers in ascending or descending order.
- Students will be able to identify the number that comes before, after, or between given numbers up to 100.
- Students will be able to classify numbers up to 100 as odd or even based on the ones digit.
Lessons in this unit
- Tens and Ones: Group objects into tens and ones to count up to 100. Use bundles of 10 straws and loose ones. Represent numbers with base-10 blocks and a place value chart (T O).
- Number Names to 100: Read and write number names for numbers up to 100. Practice numbers with special names like 11, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
- Expanded Form and Place Value: Write a two-digit number as the sum of its tens and ones (47 = 40 + 7). State the value of each digit.
- Comparing Numbers: Compare two two-digit numbers using place value. Use symbols >, <, and =. Start by comparing tens, then ones.
- Ordering Numbers: Arrange numbers in ascending (smallest to biggest) and descending (biggest to smallest) order. Use place value to compare and sequence.
- Before, After, and Between: Identify the number that comes before, after, or between given numbers. Understand that 'before' means one less, 'after' means one more, and 'between' means in the middle.
- Odd and Even Numbers: Identify odd and even numbers up to 100 by looking at the ones digit. Understand that even numbers can be paired, odd numbers have one left over.
Key words
- tens
- Groups of ten things. Ten ones make one ten.
- ones
- Single things that are not in a group of ten.
- place value
- What a digit is worth because of where it sits: tens or ones.
- expanded form
- A number split into its parts, like 47 = 40 + 7.
- greater than
- Bigger than. The wide open side of the sign faces the bigger number.
- less than
- Smaller than. The pointy side of the sign points to the smaller number.
- ascending order
- From smallest to biggest, like climbing stairs.
- descending order
- From biggest to smallest, like coming down stairs.
- before
- The number that comes just before another number (one less).
- after
- The number that comes just after another number (one more).
- between
- The number that is in the middle of two other numbers.
- odd
- A number that cannot be split into two equal groups. It has 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 in the ones place.
Help your child at home
What to watch for
- 47 is 'four and seven' instead of 'forty-seven'.
- Help: Use the place value chart: 4 tens means 40, so 4 tens and 7 ones is forty-seven.
- Writing 'fourty' instead of 'forty'.
- Help: Memorize the spelling: forty (no 'u').
- The value of the digit 4 in 47 is 4, not 40.
- Help: Use blocks: 4 ten-rods are 40. So the 4 is worth 40.
- 47 > 52 because 7 > 2 (comparing ones first).
- Help: Always compare tens first. 4 tens is less than 5 tens, so 47 < 52.
Try this at home
- Group a set of objects into tens and ones and count
- Match numeral to number name
- Write expanded form for a given number
- Compare two numbers using place value chart
Quick questions to ask aloud
- Riya has 3 bundles of 10 straws and 5 loose straws. How many straws does she have? (35 / 53 / 8)
Show answer
3 bundles of 10 is 30. 30 and 5 more is 35. - What is the number name for 47? (forty-seven / fourty-seven / forty-seventeen)
Show answer
47 is forty-seven. Remember: forty has no 'u'. - What is the expanded form of 47? (40 + 7 / 4 + 7 / 40 + 70)
Show answer
47 has 4 tens (40) and 7 ones (7). So 47 = 40 + 7.
