Students will understand that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.
Begin by asking students to share their prior knowledge of place values. What do they know about ones, tens, hundreds, etc.? This will help activate their background knowledge.
Explain that each digit in a multi-digit number has a place value. Introduce the concept that a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. Use the number 534 as an example and break it down:
Divide students into small groups and provide each group with base ten blocks. Have students represent different multi-digit numbers using the blocks. Ask the groups to identify how many tens are in the hundreds and how many ones in the tens.
Draw a place value chart on the board and have students fill in the values as they build the numbers with blocks.
The image of a classroom with students seated in groups, working with base ten blocks while using a place value chart on a whiteboard.
Distribute worksheets that require students to fill in missing place values and compare digits in different places. Include problems like:
The image of a student working on a worksheet with place values, illustrating focus and concentration while using a pencil.
Gather the class together to review what they learned. Ask students to share one thing they found interesting about place value.
As a fun wrap-up, play a quick game called "Place Value Relay." Write numbers on the board and have students race to identify the value of a specified digit.
The image of a teacher leading a game in the classroom, with students actively participating and smiling while moving towards the board.
Use the completed worksheets and participation in the group activities to assess understanding of the place value concept.
By following this lesson plan, students will gain a clear understanding of how place value works and how digits relate to one another in multi-digit whole numbers.
