Mathematics Lesson Plan: Number

Topic: Understanding Numbers

Grade Level: 4

Duration: 30 Minutes

---

Objective

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Identify and write whole numbers up to 1,000.
• Understand place value for numbers up to 1,000.
• Compare and order whole numbers.

---

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Place value charts
• Number cards (0-9)
• Worksheets for practice
• Pencils and erasers

---

Introduction (5 Minutes)

• Begin with a brief review of numbers learned in previous grades.
• Ask students to give examples of whole numbers they encounter in their daily lives (e.g., ages, scores, prices).
• Present the objective of the lesson and explain that the focus will be on numbers up to 1,000, their place values, and how to compare and order them.

---

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Place Value

• Introduce the concept of place value using a place value chart.

• Explain the value of each digit in a number (e.g., in the number 345, 3 is in the hundreds place, 4 in the tens place, and 5 in the ones place).

  Hundreds	Tens	Ones
  3	4	5

• Demonstrate how to write a three-digit number using this chart.

2. Comparing Numbers

• Discuss how to compare two numbers:
  • Use the symbols > (greater than), < (less than), and = (equal to).
  • Provide examples: Compare 478 and 487.

3. Ordering Numbers

• Introduce the concept of ordering numbers from least to greatest and vice versa.
• Give an example with three numbers, such as 235, 145, and 290.

---

Guided Practice (5 Minutes)

• Distribute number cards to groups of students.
• Each group must create three numbers using the cards and write them on the board.
• Ask them to compare the numbers and place them in order from least to greatest.

---

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

• Hand out worksheets containing exercises:
  1. Fill in the place value chart for given numbers.
  2. Compare pairs of numbers using the correct symbols.
  3. Order a set of numbers from least to greatest.

---

Closure (5 Minutes)

• Review the key points of the lesson by asking students:

  • What is place value?
  • How do you compare numbers?
  • Why is ordering numbers important?

• Summarize the lesson and allow time for any remaining questions.

---

Assessment

• Collect worksheets for evaluation.
• Observe group activities and participation during the lesson.

---

Differentiation

• For students who need more support, provide one-on-one help with place value.
• Challenge advanced students to work on larger numbers (up to 10,000) and allow them to create their own comparison problems to share with classmates.

---

Extensions

• Introduce a simple number game or online tool for students to practice number comparison and ordering at home.
• Consider a future lesson on adding and subtracting larger numbers to build on this foundational knowledge.

This lesson plan seeks to engage Year 4 students in mastering essential concepts regarding numbers, reinforcing their skills through structured activities and collaborative learning.
