Today, we will kick off our lesson on Place Value through a fun and exciting adventure that will help us understand how digits work in our number system!
Imagine you are explorers in search of a hidden treasure! You have just found a mysterious treasure map with numbers written all over it. Each number holds clues to the location of the treasure, and your mission is to decode these numbers by understanding their place values.
Before we embark on our adventure, let’s think:
What do you think would happen if we changed the digits in one of these numbers?
Let’s gather our thoughts, and get creative with our answers!
Now, let’s break into small teams and examine the treasure map! Each team will be given a different number (for example, 1,235, 4,512, and 7,089). Your task is to:
Once teams have shared their creative stories and explored how place values work in their specific numbers, we will dive deeper into place value concepts, breaking down how we can express any number simply by understanding the significance of each digit in its place.
Let’s get those brains ticking and start our Place Value Adventure! 🌟
Adventure awaits! The treasure is hidden just beyond the understanding of place value! Are you ready to find it? 🗺️💰✨
