(Bell ringer is on the board!) French Numbers 60-100! (Bell ringer is on the board!) Essential Question: Why are numbers 70-99 much more difficult than any other French numbers?

A quick explanation… (No need to write this down) There is no actual term for seventy, eighty, or ninety… at least, not in the way that we think of them, like when quatre becomes quarante, or when cinq becomes cinquante. Rather, it’s sort of like math… all numbers 60-79 just add from 60. Eighty is made by 4x20, and then for 81-99, you add from there.

Numbers 100 – 1 billion (Bell Ringer is on the board) Essential Question: How do you formulate numbers above 100 in French?
