Differentiation
Pupils who learn fast will write and read more complex numbers (e.g., 736, 918) and explain how they are formed. Pupils who need support will use the number chart and flash cards, working in pairs to read and write numbers step by step.
Note for teachers using this lesson plan
Use a clear number chart and allow pupils to read aloud repeatedly for accuracy. When teaching hundreds, guide pupils to connect “narị” with tens and units using simple examples before moving to larger numbers.
