Lesson Plan: Place Value

Subject: Mathematics

Grade: 5

Duration: 30 Minutes

Topic: Place Value

---

Objectives

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

• Understand the concept of place value in whole numbers up to the millions place.
• Identify and explain the value of each digit in a given number.
• Apply their understanding of place value to compare and order numbers.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Place value charts
• Base ten blocks (if available)
• Worksheets for practice
• Interactive activity materials (e.g., playing cards or number tiles)

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin the lesson by asking students what they know about numbers and their values.
• Introduce the term "place value" and explain that it refers to the value of a digit based on its position in a number.
• Use a place value chart to visually demonstrate how numbers are structured (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Explain Place Value:

   • Write the number 4,562 on the whiteboard.
   • Break down the value of each digit:
     • 4 is in the thousands place (4,000)
     • 5 is in the hundreds place (500)
     • 6 is in the tens place (60)
     • 2 is in the ones place (2)

2. Create a Place Value Chart:

   • Fill out a place value chart together as a class for the number 4,562.
   • Discuss how you can express the entire number using the sum of its parts: 4,000 + 500 + 60 + 2.

3. Introduce Larger Numbers:

   • Introduce numbers in the millions (e.g., 3,245,680) and use similar methods to illustrate their place values.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

• Hand out worksheets with various numbers for students to practice breaking down into their place values.
• Walk around the classroom to assist students and answer questions.
• After completing the first few together, encourage students to work independently.

Interactive Activity (5 minutes)

• Organize a quick interactive game where students use playing cards or number tiles to create their own numbers.
• Have them identify the place value of each digit in their number.
• Allow students to share their numbers with the class.

Closure (5 minutes)

• Review the key points of the lesson with the students.
• Ask questions such as:
  • "What is place value?"
  • "Can you tell me the value of the digit in a specific place?"
• Encourage students to ask questions or seek clarification on any part of the lesson.

Assessment

• Collect the worksheets from the guided practice to assess students’ understanding.
• Observe student participation during the interactive activity.

Extensions

• For students who finish early, provide additional challenging numbers or encourage them to create their own 5- or 6-digit numbers and find the place value.

Homework (Optional)

• Assign a worksheet with different numbers for further practice on place value at home.

Notes

Remind students that understanding place value is crucial not just in mathematics but in real-life situations, such as reading large numbers or handling money. Encourage them to think of places in their own lives where they encounter large numbers.
