Lesson Plan: Place Value with Three Digits
Subject: Mathematics
Grade: 2
Duration: 30 minutes
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Understand the concept of place value in three-digit numbers.
- Identify the value of each digit in three-digit numbers (hundreds, tens, and ones).
- Represent three-digit numbers using base ten blocks and drawings.
Materials Needed
- Base ten blocks (or visual representations of hundreds, tens, and ones)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Place value chart
- Practice worksheets
- Homework assignment sheet
Introduction (5 minutes)
- Begin the lesson by asking students if they remember what place value means.
- Introduce the concept of three-digit numbers and explain the terms hundreds, tens, and ones.
- Draw a large place value chart on the whiteboard and label the columns as Hundreds, Tens, and Ones.
Direct Instruction (10 minutes)
- Define Three-Digit Numbers: Explain that any number from 100 to 999 is a three-digit number.
- Break Down the Numbers:
- Use the number 245 as an example:
- Hundreds: 2 (which equals 200)
- Tens: 4 (which equals 40)
- Ones: 5 (which equals 5)
- Use base ten blocks to visually demonstrate the breakdown of the number into hundreds, tens, and ones.
- Engage the students by asking them to identify the place value of digits in different three-digit numbers.
Guided Practice (10 minutes)
- Present several three-digit numbers, such as 318, 472, and 605, on the whiteboard.
- Ask students to work in pairs to determine the place value of each digit in the numbers provided.
- Monitor student work and provide feedback as needed.
Independent Practice (3 minutes)
-
Hand out worksheets that require students to:
- Identify the place value of individual digits in several three-digit numbers.
- Draw base ten blocks to represent the numbers given.
-
Allow students to work independently, circulating to check for understanding.
Conclusion (2 minutes)
- Review key concepts by asking students to share their answers from the independent practice.
- Reinforce the importance of understanding place value in everyday life, such as when using money or telling time.
