Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Order numbers going up in threes and fours (the 3 and 4 tables) and down in tens, groundwork for equal-step patterns (indicator ค 1.2 ป.3/1), and put the steps of two-digit column addition with carrying in order.

What's in the worksheet

4 ordering questions - 3, 6, 9, 12 going up in threes - 4, 8, 12, 16 going up in fours - 50, 40, 30, 20 going down in tens - Line up the columns, add the ones, carry if you need to, add the tens

How to use it in class

Use after the 3 and 4 tables and carrying, about 5 minutes, team mode. - After the addition steps question, have teams do 27 + 48 on paper following the steps they just ordered - 12 appears in both the 3 and 4 patterns; ask pupils why - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- In the addition steps, putting "add the tens" before "add the ones" because we read numbers left to right. Show with 27 + 48 that a carry changes the tens answer - Putting "carry if you need to" first, since pupils remember carrying as the hard part - Ordering 50, 40, 30, 20 smallest first out of habit
