Lesson Plan: Partition Numbers into 10’s and 1’s Using MAB Blocks

Subject: Mathematics
Grade Level: Year 1
Duration: 30 minutes
Topic: Partition Numbers into 10’s and 1’s Using MAB (Multi-Associative Blocks) Blocks

Lesson Objectives

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

1. Understand the concept of partitioning numbers into tens and ones.
2. Use MAB blocks to demonstrate the partitioning of numbers.
3. Develop an understanding of place value in context.

Materials Needed

• MAB blocks (10’s rods and 1’s units)
• Whiteboard and markers
• Number cards (1 to 50)
• Worksheets with partitioning exercises (for independent practice)
• Timer (to manage activities)

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Greeting and Attendance: Start with a warm welcome and quickly take attendance.
• Discussion: Ask students a few questions about numbers:
  • "What do we know about numbers?"
  • "Can anyone tell me about tens and ones?"
• Introduce MAB Blocks: Show the blocks and explain their purpose in understanding numbers through visual representation.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

• Explain Tens and Ones:

  • Write the numbers 10, 20, 30, etc., on the whiteboard.
  • Demonstrate how each number is made up of tens and ones using the MAB blocks:
    • For example, 13 can be represented as 1 ten rod and 3 one blocks.

• Modeling with MAB Blocks:

  • Select a number (e.g., 24) and show how to build it with MAB blocks on the table.
  • Explain the partition: “This is 2 tens and 4 ones. Let’s count together!”

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Interactive Activity:
   • Divide students into small groups and give each group a set of MAB blocks.
   • Call out different numbers (e.g., 8, 15, 23, 35), and ask students to represent these numbers using their blocks.
   • Walk around to each group to provide help and feedback as necessary.
   • Encourage students to explain their thinking: “How many tens do you have? How many ones?”

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Worksheet Activity:
  • Distribute worksheets where students need to partition given numbers into tens and ones.
  • Encourage them to draw MAB blocks to represent their findings.
  • Set a timer for 3 minutes to complete as many problems as they can.

Closing (5 minutes)

• Review & Share:

  • Invite a few students to share their answers and how they represented the numbers with MAB blocks.
  • Ask the class, “Why is it useful to know how to partition numbers into tens and ones?”

• Preview of Next Lesson:

  • Briefly introduce what will be explored in the next lesson (e.g., addition and subtraction of tens and ones).

Assessment

• Monitor students' understanding during group activities.
• Collect worksheets to assess individual understanding and provide feedback for future lessons.

Conclusion

This lesson aims to create a hands-on and engaging experience around the mathematical concept of place value, promoting collaborative learning and individual reflection among Year 1 students.
