Writing Numbers in Words and Figures — Interactive Lesson (Year 2)

Can your pupils write ‘seventy-three’ correctly? This 22-slide interactive lesson teaches writing numbers in both words and figures.

Mastering Writing Numbers in Year 2 Maths

Pupils learn to read and write numbers in words and figures. They see a number represented by a diagram or a set of objects, such as books on a table, and write it in words, for example thirty-five or seventy-three. Later slides reverse the process, showing a number in words such as fifty-one or ninety-two and asking pupils to write it in figures, building fluency moving confidently in both directions between words and numerals.
