Count the hats. Write a number to show how many
there are.
In the picture, we can see some
hats that we’ve got to count, and we need to write our answer as a number to show
how many there are. Before we start, can you see
anything interesting about the way that these hats have been arranged? Just like we often put counters
into ten frames to help us count and learn about numbers, we can see that these hats
have been put in ten frames too. Perhaps we can use this to help us
count them. What do you notice about the first
ten frame? It’s full, isn’t it? There are no gaps. How many hats do you think make up
a full ten frame? There must be 10 hats. That’s why we call this a ten
frame.
So in the picture, we can see 10
hats and then some more hats. How many more? One, two, three, four, five, six
more. The number of hats is six more than
10. What number is six more than
10? It’s time to count the hats. One, two, three — wait a
moment. We don’t have to start counting at
one, do we? We already know there are 10 hats
in this first ten frame. So why don’t we point to the first
ten frame and say 10 and then start counting from 10. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. We’ve counted 16 hats
altogether. We can see that there are six more
than 10. And six more than 10 is 16.
Now, we know we write the number 16
using words as the number six followed by teen, sixteen. But our question asked us to write
the answer as a number. Do you remember how to write
sixteen as a number? Well, first, we need to write the
number one and then the number six. A one followed by a six is 16. We counted the hats and then we
wrote a number to show how many there are. There are 16 hats.
