Lesson Plan: Understanding Place Value up to 100,000
Subject
Mathematics
Grade Level
5
Duration
30 minutes
Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Understand the concept of place value up to 100,000.
- Identify the value of digits in different places.
- Read and write numbers up to 100,000 in both numeric and word form.
Materials Needed
- Whiteboard and markers
- Place Value Chart handouts
- Worksheets for practice
- Math manipulatives (base ten blocks or counters)
- Number cards (0-9)
Introduction (5 minutes)
Begin the lesson by asking students if they can remember what place value means. Introduce the concept of place value and explain why it is crucial for understanding larger numbers. Use a place value chart to explain the hierarchy of places:
- Units (1-9)
- Tens (10-90)
- Hundreds (100-900)
- Thousands (1,000-90,000)
- Ten thousands (10,000-90,000)
Instructional Input (10 minutes)
Place Value Chart
Display a large place value chart on the board. Explain the following:
- Each digit in a number has a different value based on its position.
- Write a few examples on the board:
- Example 1: 34,567 (show how to break it down into tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and units)
- Example 2: 102,004 (identifying the value of each digit).
Reading Numbers
Demonstrate how to read numbers up to 100,000. Emphasize how to break down numbers into their respective parts.
Guided Practice (10 minutes)
- Hand out the Place Value Chart handouts.
- In pairs, have students create their own examples of five-digit numbers and identify the place values of each digit.
- Call on a few pairs to share their examples with the class and discuss their findings.
Independent Practice (5 minutes)
Distribute the worksheets containing the following tasks:
- Write the following numbers in word form:
- Identify the value of the underlined digit in the following numbers:
Conclusion (5 minutes)
Wrap up the lesson by reviewing the importance of place value in understanding numbers. Ask students to share any patterns they notice about place values. Reinforce that a solid understanding of place value is fundamental for more advanced math concepts.
