To start off the school year we have been working on the numbers from 1 to 100 in French. Students seem to struggle with the numbers above 60, as the names start to get a bit confusing.
Here is a video to practice number names (60 - 100) in French:

Today we learned a neat trick to remember number names. When you look at the number soixante dix (70), we found the number 10 hiding, which reminds us to say soixante dix, and not just soixante.
When you look at the number quatre-vingts-dix (90), we found the number dix (10) hiding, which reminds us to say quatre-vingts-dix, not just quatre-vingts. This trick works for all of the 70's and 90's.
