When you’ve recapped these, print off the activity sheet and follow the instructions on there. If you don’t have a printer you can either draw hands like on the sheet, or write the number in digits next to the number in letters.
Activity 2
Now that you’re happy with those smaller numbers, we’re going to move onto some bigger ones! Watch Joe being an auctioneer and listen out for the numbers he uses.
Here’s the main ones to remember:
Language in this activity
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veinte | beh-eenteh | Twenty | |
| Treinta | treh-eentah | Thirty | |
| Cuarenta | kwahrehntah | Forty | |
| Cincuenta | theenkwentah | Fifty |
Once you've practised the bigger numbers and you feel confident with them, print off this activity sheet and follow the instructions. If you don’t have a printer, just write the numbers on some paper. You can draw and value your own painting too, just as the sheets says.
