Model on the board with a number below 20 • Check in pairs first then by having students write the spelling on the board.
Students make a circle. Throw a ball to one another as they count 20-40.
• Teacher will demo on the board how to write a two-digit number, highlighting the use of a hyphen on numbers that are not tens. • Students complete handout individually. • Check answers in a group • If any mistakes are found while monitoring, write them on board and ask students to correct the spellings.

Monitor. • With the WC practice saying the items in English separately and as part of the Q&A. Provide 1 Q&A on the WB as scaffolding. • Feedback: ask who has the most correct guesses. • Error correction on what was picked up on during monitoring.
