Lesson Plan: Place Value

Grade Level: 4
Subject: Mathematics
Duration: 30 minutes
Topic: Place Value

---

Objectives

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

• Understand the concept of place value and how it is used in multi-digit numbers.
• Identify the value of each digit in a number based on its position.
• Compare and order numbers using their place values.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Place value charts
• Base-ten blocks or place value manipulatives
• Worksheets with practice problems
• Number cards (0-9)

Standards

This lesson aligns with the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.1: Understand the place value system.
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.2: Read, write, and compare multi-digit whole numbers.

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Hook: Begin with a brief discussion by asking students if they know what the term "place value" means. Gather responses.
2. Objective Overview: Explain that today we will learn about how the position of a digit in a number determines its value.
3. Connection to Prior Knowledge: Recall that students have previously learned about numbers up to 100. Now, they will expand that understanding to larger numbers.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Definition of Place Value:

   • Define place value: "The value of a digit depends on its position in the number."
   • Illustrate this with an example on the whiteboard: For the number 4,562, indicate that
     • 4 is in the thousands place,
     • 5 is in the hundreds place,
     • 6 is in the tens place,
     • 2 is in the ones place.

2. Place Value Chart:

   • Show a place value chart and guide students in filling it out with the example number.
   • Discuss how to represent each digit’s value (e.g., 4,000 + 500 + 60 + 2).

3. Base-Ten Blocks Introduction:

   • Use base-ten blocks to visually demonstrate how numbers are constructed. Show 1,000 blocks, 100 blocks, 10 blocks, and 1 blocks as representations of place values.

---

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Interactive Activity: Distribute number cards to small groups.
2. Activity Instructions:
   • Ask each group to create a four-digit number using their cards.
   • Have them write the number on the whiteboard and fill in a place value chart as a group, identifying the value of each digit.
3. Sharing: Let each group present their number and place value chart to the class.

---

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Worksheet:
   • Hand out worksheets with different multi-digit numbers.
   • Instruct students to fill out a place value chart for each number.
   • Include some problems that involve comparing two or more multi-digit numbers based on place value.

---

Closure (5 minutes)

1. Review Key Concepts: Recap the meaning of place value and its importance in reading and writing numbers.
2. Exit Ticket Question: Ask each student to write one thing they learned about place value on a sticky note and submit it as they leave the room.

---

Assessment

• Observe student participation during the guided practice.
• Review the completed worksheets to assess understanding of place value.
• Collect exit tickets to gauge individual understanding.

---

Differentiation

• For Advanced Learners: Challenge them with larger numbers (up to 1,000,000) and have them practice breaking those down into their place values.
• For Struggling Learners: Provide additional one-on-one support using manipulatives before transitioning to independent practice.

This lesson plan effectively covers the fundamental concept of place value, integrating various instructional methods to cater to diverse learning styles while maintaining engagement and interaction among the students.
