Key Stage 3 French: Numbers from 100-109 (with age and 'ils' and 'votre/vos')

This resource uniquely looks at numbers from 100-109 in French.

Go through the powerpoint with the children, looking at the numbers which all start with ‘cent’. Ask the children as to why 100 is named as ‘cent’ in French and then ask them what words in English have the prefix ‘cent’ and what do they mean?

This resource also looks at expressing age and the use of the third person plural form of the verb ‘avoir’. The lower level looks at numbers, age, using ‘avoir’ in the ‘ils’ form and the use of the possessive adjective ‘votre/vos’. The higher level looks at the years when people were born in as well as numbers, age, extended use of ‘ils’, the possessive adjectives ‘votre/vos’ and adjectival agreement. There is also extra more complex material for the more able students and in particular, the gifted and talented as it also explores as to whether one is in their early, mid or late nineties. If there are gifted and talented learners or native French speaking learners present in the class, go through the higher level material with them. There is a differentiated follow-up quiz. Play the quiz with the students.

After the presentation of the numbers, get the students to copy out the numbers in the attached assigned workbook and then complete the listening activity. If there is time in the lesson, get the learners to complete the subsequent activities such as filling out the speech bubbles while selecting the correct answer. For the higher level activity, assume the year is 2020 as that is when the workbook was created.

For homework, the children can complete the mathematical questions.

As a plenary, play the picture pair game with them.

I will be uploading the final resource for numbers in the 110s. Feel free to look out for them!

Happy teaching and learning!
