Ordering our Teen Number chains

After making our chains yesterday we ordered them today from smallest to biggest:





Then we hung them up with our number sentences. We can count teen numbers forwards and backwards.

Teen Numbers 

We have been learning about teen numbers. 

Things we know about teen numbers: 
  • They are a group of ten and some more 
  • When you write them they always start with a 1
  • They have 'teen' at the end, except for the naughty teens 11 and 12 
We made teen chains to show a group of ten and some more: 


Ten and 1 more is 11
Ten and 2 more is 12


Ten and 3 more is 13
Ten and 4 more is 14
Ten and 5 more is 15
Ten and 6 more is 16          
Ten and 7 more is 17
Ten and 8 more is 18

Ten and 9 more is 19













Please write a comment about our teen number learning.

Character Writing 

This week we have been using our imaginations to create a character. Each writing group has a different character and we are visualising (which means making a picture in our heads) to describe what they look like. 

The butterfly group working with Kath had to visualise an alien. After we each drew our own we shared our ideas and put them together to create one SUPER alien, who we called the Jitollar ( made from taking the first letter of each of our names). After that we helped each other to write a description of what he looks like on the outside.

Sorry that you have to read it sideways!
It says: The Jitollar. He has a slimy green body. He has 4 scaly arms. There are sharp claws on the Jitollar. He has 3 long stripy necks and 3 round heads. He has 10 legs that are orange and scaly. 

What do you think? Can you picture him? Please add a comment below. On Thursday we will post a picture of him to see if you visualised him like we did.
