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 plan

Lesson Plan: Place Value in Mathematics

Grade/Age Group

• Year/Grade: 3
• Age Range: 8-9 years old

Subject

• Mathematics

Topic

• Place Value

Duration

• 30 minutes

Class Size

• 20 students

Objectives

• Understand the concept of place value for numbers up to 1000.
• Identify the value of a digit based on its position in a number.
• Practice writing numbers in expanded form.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Place value chart (printed for student reference)
• Manipulatives (e.g., base ten blocks or counters)
• Worksheets with exercises on place value
• Homework assignment sheets

National Curriculum Alignment

• This lesson aligns with the Canadian mathematics curriculum for Grade 3, focusing on number concepts and place value understanding.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Place Value	5 min	Introduce the concept of place value using a number line. Ask students to identify each digit's value in a 3-digit number (e.g., 345).
2	Exploring Place Value	10 min	Use manipulatives to represent different numbers. Have students build numbers using base ten blocks and identify the values of each digit.
3	Writing Numbers in Expanded Form	5 min	Demonstrate how to write a number in expanded form. For example, 345 = 300 + 40 + 5. Provide examples and ask for student input.
4	Guided Practice	5 min	Work through a couple of examples together as a class, using the whiteboard. Provide immediate feedback as students respond.
5	Independent Practice	5 min	Hand out worksheets that require students to practice identifying place values and writing numbers in expanded form independently.
6	Review and Wrap-up	5 min	Summarize key points of the lesson. Go over worksheets and clarify any misconceptions, ensuring all students are on track. Discuss the homework assignment.

Homework

• Assign a worksheet where students practice identifying the place value of digits in various numbers and writing them in expanded form. Collect the homework in the next class to check for understanding without any student presentations.

Assessment

• Observe student participation during guided and independent practice.
• Review completed homework for understanding of place value concepts.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson to promote understanding.
• Adapt activities for students needing additional support.
