Lesson Introduction: Place Value Adventure

🌟 Welcome to the World of Place Value! 🌟

🎈 Let’s Start Our Journey!

Good morning, maths explorers! Today, we are going to embark on a fantastic journey into the magical world of place value. But first, let’s grab our treasure maps!

🗺️ Treasure Map Activity

Each of you will receive a treasure map that represents a 2-digit number. Your task is to find out how much treasure is hidden in each location on your map.

• 💎 The Tens Den: This is where we gather all the treasures worth ten. Each treasure symbol stands for 10!
• 🎉 The Ones Oasis: Here, we collect treasures that are worth just 1. Each treasure symbol here stands for 1!

✏️ Mapping the Numbers

As we begin this adventure, I want you to think about your favourite number between 10 and 99. On the back of your treasure map, draw two boxes: one for the tens and one for the ones. As we go through our lesson, I want you to fill in these boxes with the treasures you discover!

📚 Cool Place Value Facts

Did you know? The place value of each digit in a number tells us how much it is worth! For example, in the number 34:

• The 3 is in the tens place, meaning it’s worth 30 (3 tens).
• The 4 is in the ones place, meaning it’s worth 4 (4 ones).

🚀 Let’s Get Started!

Now that you have your treasure maps, let’s dive deeper into the world of place value! Are you ready to find some treasure? Let’s go!
