Main Body 20 mins:
Model activity of cutting out number trains and ordering- begin by cutting
out trains, once the carriages are cut out then lay them out in order before
gluing on to the long strips.
Transition to desks. Send girls first then boys back to desks- collect sheets
from two students on way to desks.
Cut out trains of numbers to 100 and glue in order.
As students start to complete or make progress in order go around while
they are working and ask them to count from 1 or from somewhere else in
the sequence to further assess number recognition.
Example Lesson Plan
 Conclusion 5mins:
Stop class. Ask do you feel more confident with your numbers, or did you
learn anything more today? (thumbs up or down). Pack up and transition
to next activity. Incomplete work can either be placed in tray for later
completion or finished quickly during transition.

Early finishers can colour in trains, then do a dot-to-dot

Tailored Plan Resources:

Help the slower students with some cutting. Video
Low-achievers: Monitor progress throughout activity assisting where needed. Number train worksheet
Year 1 can be directed to number lines around the room and helped with Long piece of paper for gluing
small sections. scissors and glue
coloured pencils for early finish colouring
Potential differentiation for higher year 2s- blank spaces in number train
High Achievers: for writing in correct number, i.e. higher and lower number etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?
