Lesson Plan: Understanding Place Value

Subject: Mathematics

Grade: 5

Duration: 30 Minutes

---

Objective

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand and explain the concept of place value and use it to read, write, and compare multi-digit numbers.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Place value chart (poster or handout)
• Base-ten blocks
• Worksheets for practice (printable)
• Smartboard (if available for interactive activities)

Standards Alignment

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

• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.1 - Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Engage Students

   • Start with a question: "What does the number 523 represent?"
   • Invite students to share their thoughts about the numbers in 523.

2. Introduce Place Value

   • Explain place value as the value of where a digit is in a number.
   • Introduce the standard forms of numbers, such as units, tens, and hundreds.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Explain the Place Value Chart

   • Show a place value chart from ones to millions.
   • Explain how each position in the chart represents a different value and how it increases by a factor of ten.

2. Demonstration with Base-Ten Blocks

   • Use base-ten blocks to demonstrate the formation of numbers.
   • Show how a ten-block equals ten ones and how hundreds are made up of ten tens.

Guided Practice (5 Minutes)

1. Interactive Activity

   • On the board, write a multi-digit number (e.g., 4,256).
   • Ask students to identify the value of each digit, starting from the rightmost digit, and share their answers.

2. Class Participation

   • Encourage students to come up to the board to represent the numbers using base-ten blocks or draw them in the place value chart.

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

• Hand out the place value worksheets.
• Students will practice identifying values of digits in different numbers and complete a few exercises where they write out numbers in expanded form.

Closing (5 Minutes)

1. Review Key Concepts

   • Summarize the importance of place value in understanding larger numbers.
   • Discuss how mastering place value helps with addition, subtraction, and more complex mathematical concepts.

2. Exit Ticket

   • Have students write down one thing they learned about place value and one question they still have.
   • Collect the exit tickets as a quick assessment of understanding.

---

Assessment

• Observe student participation during the guided practice.
• Review completed worksheets for understanding of place value.
• Analyze exit tickets for any common questions or misunderstandings.

---

Differentiation

• For Advanced Learners: Provide numbers with more digits and ask students to compare them or convert to expanded form.
• For Struggling Learners: Pair them with peers during guided practice and provide additional visual aids or manipulatives.

---

Additional Resources

• Khan Academy - Place Value lessons for reinforcement at home.
• Educational websites with interactive place value games.
• Math manipulatives kits for further hands-on exploration.

---

By the end of this 30-minute lesson, students will have a solid understanding of place value and its significance in mathematics, aiding their overall mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.
