Place Value for Whole Numbers
An AskERIC Lesson Plan
Submitted by: Scott D. Chilton
Endorsed by: Don E. Decey, Mankato State University
DATE: October 30, 1996
GRADE LEVEL: Grade 4
Description:
The students will explore the world of mathematics by demonstrating visually
what place value of whole numbers represents. Base-ten materials will be
used to demonstrate this visualization. The class will be divided into
cooperative groups, no more than two students in a group. Each group will
receive base-ten models to experiment with place value. The groups will also
learn how to make sets of t

ens with them.
General Goal:
The student will gain a basic understanding of place value for whole numbers.
Objectives:
-
-
The students will learn how to use base-ten materials to make sense of place
value in the tens and ones column.
-
The students will explore whole-number patterns by using base-ten materials.
Materials:
Paper & Pencil, Overhead, Base-ten Materials, Chalkboard, Transparencies.
Procedure:
-
-
Each group will receive base-ten materials to experiment with.
-
Create a place value chart on the chalkboard and give examples related to
whole numbers.
-
Give examples on the overhead of how to trade units using base-ten place
values.
-
Ask questions to get feedback from the students. Walk around to each cooperative
group and give individual help.
-
Hand out the worksheets to each group, this will give the teacher a chance
for guided practice by constant explanation to group responses and involvement.
-
The students will work on their worksheets for independent practice time.
-
Assign homework worksheet due for the next class period.
Assessment:
-
-
Ask students questions about place value units.
-
-
Have students individually come up to the chalkboard and use base-ten materials
to answer questions.
-
Homework will be corrected for a grade.
