Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Briefly introduce the concept of place value. Use real-life examples to engage students. Explain the importance of place value in understanding numbers.
2	Direct Instruction	10 mins	Explain the place value chart. Demonstrate how to read and write numbers based on their place values using the whiteboard and place value blocks.
3	Guided Practice	5 mins	Distribute practice worksheets. Work through a few problems as a class, asking students to identify the value of specific digits in given numbers.
4	Independent Practice	5 mins	Allow students to complete additional problems on their own. Monitor progress and provide support where needed.
5	Review and Wrap-Up	3 mins	Summarize key concepts discussed during the lesson. Clarify any misunderstandings and address questions.
6	Homework Assignment	2 mins	Assign students a worksheet for homework that reinforces the day's lesson on place value. Explain to students that homework will be checked without presentation.

Assessment

• Observe students during guided practice to assess understanding.
• Review completed homework for comprehension of place value concepts.

National Curriculum Alignment

The lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically:

• Understand place value (2.NBT.A.1, 3.NBT.A.1)
• Use place value to round numbers (4.NBT.A.3)

Conclusion

This lesson plan provides a structured approach to teaching place value in a way that engages students and promotes understanding through various teaching methods.
