Introductory Activity (Warm-Up):
Read one of the books that relates to Place Value and/or run the web site Teaching Tutorial to help students understand elements of place value. |
Lesson:
Step 1: The template 4_placevalue.doc (file 1) can be used in a number of different ways. To begin with, the teacher can have the document on the screen in front of the room and demonstrate moving the numbers into the correct position to show place value. The teacher can then call up individual students to show a number that he/she or the class calls out. Step 2: The teacher can take the whole class to the computer lab or work them in small groups in stations. The students can work in pairs or in small groups to move the numbers to the correct position when the teacher calls out a number. After a discussion, the correct answer can be revealed. (Turn off or cover the projector until you are ready to show the correct answer.) Step 3: After some practice with this, students can work together to solve some problems, using the Word document to show their answers. Some examples of problems for them to solve are on sample_problems.doc (file 2). Step 4: Students are now ready to show what they have learned about place value. They can work in groups again, and choose which application to work in, Word, PowerPoint, Kid Pix 3 etc. Students will develop three different types of word problems using the same types of questions. Step 5: Once the problems have been developed, students can switch computers and try to solve each others problems.

Extension:
The web site Place Value Game will enable students to practice what they know in another fun way. The web site Place Value Puzzler can also be used either individually or in groups to practice their place value skills. Both of these activities would work great in stations with task cards to guide the students.

Guiding Questions:
Can you rearrange the numbers to make a bigger number? What would happen if you took out the number in the hundreds place? How did you decide what program to use to do your own problems and why did you choose that program?
|
Summary Questions:
How does place value relate to things you do in your every day life? What ideas that we have talked about before were useful in making and solving your own problems? Do you think that using place value will help you when you become an adult? How?
