Tasks in this sequence

Year 2

Task 1 • Packing lollies

Students learn that making groups helps us to keep track of the count and facilitates efficient counting strategies.

Year 2

Task 2 • Rolls and boxes

Students learn to group ones to make tens and group tens to make hundreds, and develop the idea of “10 of these is 1 of those”.

Year 2

Task 3 • Filling Boxes

Students play a simple game to build their understanding of “10 of these is 1 of those”.

Task 6 • Counting lollies

Students learn to use ‘10 of these is 1 of those’ to make sense of place value patterns and different but equivalent representations.

Suggested implementation

This time plan is just one way that you might choose to implement this sequence. We have used a warm-up activity at the start of most lessons, and a number of tasks are split across two lessons. The timing provided in the tasks’ documentation align with this implementation advice.

Curriculum and syllabus alignment

Achievement standards

In Year 2, students order and represent numbers to at least 1000, apply knowledge of place value to partition, rearrange and rename two- and three-digit numbers in terms of their parts, and regroup partitioned numbers to assist in calculations.
