Year 1 Place Value Consolidation Steps 8 and 9

Step 8-9: Year 1 Place Value Consolidation Steps 8-9

Grandad Terry and Lily have brought her teddy to life, but now the teddy wants their help to bring all the toys to life. Firstly, they visit the teddies and provide them all with shoes before bringing them to life. Then, they bring the robots to life by calculating how many drops of potion each robot will need. Finally, it is the turn of the giraffes to be brought to life. Once all the toys have had their potion, Lily and Grandad Terry plan a party for the toys to celebrate.

This Learning Video Clip has been designed as a consolidation tool for steps 8 and 9. It contains content relevant to all these steps and can be used in parts to recap a particular step on its own at the end of a teaching sequence for the included steps.
