Imagine you are a brave explorer setting off on an adventure to find hidden treasure! You’ve received a mysterious map from an old captain, but there’s a twist: the map uses special numbers to indicate the location of the treasure. To uncover the treasure’s true position, you’ll need to understand place value!
Today, we’ll embark on a mathematical journey where numbers hold secrets that can lead us to the treasure chest filled with gold coins! To navigate the treasure map successfully, we must decode the clues by breaking down the place value of different numbers.
Before we start, I want you to think about this: Why do you think place value is important for finding our treasure? Discuss your thoughts with a partner for a minute.
Once we’ve shared our ideas, we’ll dive into understanding how place value works and how each digit in a number contributes to its overall value. Are you ready to unlock the secrets of the treasure map? Let’s go!
With this engaging introduction, students will be excited and curious about the lesson, seamlessly transitioning into the topic of place value.
