Description and
Background Information
The students will begin by playing Number Forms BINGO interactively to review place
value and the different ways to write a number. The game consists of the teacher calling
out different forms of numbers and the students have to decipher whether they have that
particular number on their BINGO card. The students will enjoy playing a game, but during
the game, the students are also getting a full review of the different ways to write a
number. The teacher will do various examples of the different ways to write a number on
the Smart Board. The teacher will break down and explain all the different ways to write a
number. The teacher will ask the students questions to ensure that they understand what
is expected of them during instruction today. To ensure that the students know the
different ways to write a number, the teacher will allow the students to get their iPads out
and open the app Learning Tools. Learning Tools has an interesting tool called
Whiteboard, which is like a personal white board. The teacher will say a number aloud and
ask the students to write one of the forms on their board. The students will raise their
white board facing the teacher. The teacher will walk around the room examining if the
students have knowledge or understanding of the different forms numbers can be written.
The teacher will say a few numbers and the students will have a chance to demonstrate
their knowledge on the Smart Board. The teacher will introduce a place value foldable to
the students. Each student will receive five sheets of paper, in which they will fold hot dog
style. The students will cut three slits through each paper, making four flaps on each
paper. On the outer flap, the students will write thousands on the first flap, hundreds on
the second flap, tens on the third flap, and ones on the last flap. The students will then
write the digits 0 through 9 on each flap. The students will get a chance to explore their
place value booklets. The teacher will then explain to the students exactly what they have
just made. The teacher will ask the students to make different numbers with their place
value booklets. This place values booklet will show the students the exact value of each
digit and place. In order for students to show what they have learned, the students will be
writing multiple numbers in all four forms. The students will roll the number cube to
determine the digits for a 3-digt or 4-digit number. Once the students write the number in
standard form on their paper, the students will have to write that same number in all four
forms. The students will be required make ten 3-digit and 4-digit numbers and complete all
forms of the numbers. This independent practice will give the students repetition with
making and writing numbers in various forms. Lastly, the teacher will allow the students
use their iPads once again in the closing of the lesson. The students will open up the app,
Learning Tools, to the white board. The teacher will say a number aloud and ask the
students to write one of the forms on their board. The students will raise their white board
facing the teacher. The teacher will walk around the room examining if the students have
knowledge or understanding of the different forms numbers can be written.
Lesson Objectives
What will students be able to do at the conclusion of this lesson? Make sure that your
objective(s) are measurable.
Students will be able to read and write numbers to 1000 and beyond using base-ten
numerals, number names, and expanded form. Students will be able to identify number s
to 1000 in all three different forms: base-ten numerals, standard form, expanded form, and
word form.
How will you vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material?
For the students who do not understand the material, the teacher will use base-ten
manipulatives to give them some hands-on experience. The teacher will first show the
students each number using base-ten manipulatives; then the teacher will the students a
chance to make numbers themselves. Once the students understand the base-ten
manipulatives, they will be one step closer to understanding expanded form.
How will you vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept?
For students who have already mastered the concept, the teacher will give these students
advanced problems to work on themselves to enhance their skills even more. The teacher
will also allow these students to assist other students in the class in groups. Sometimes
students learn from hearing instruction from their peers because the discussion and
interaction is different in comparison to the teacher.
How will you vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English?
For students who are presently learning English, the teacher will use the base-ten
manipulatives immensely to break down the concept with strictly using manipulatives.
The students will have a hard time understanding the other forms until they get an idea of
the concept with the base-ten manipulatives.
Why is it important for the students to learn this content?
Statement of Purpose
Place value is very important for students because they need to understand the actual
value of the numbers and the actual value of each digit. Students need to apprehend that
numbers have meaning and value; students need to recognize that there are four
hundreds in the number 3425. This concept also relates to a future standard that the
students will learn in second grade. This future standard is subtraction with regrouping.
Students cannot subtract with regrouping until they understand that each digit in each
place has a certain value. Comprehending place value is very essential for students to
master and learn in math.
What materials and supplies are needed to help your students achieve the stated
objectives? What will the teacher need? What will the students need? What other
resources are needed? Will you use resource speakers?
There are various materials and supplies needed to help the students achieve place value.
The teacher will need a Smart Board and computer to display multiple 3 and 4-digit
numbers for the students to evaluate. Each student will need to have access to their iPad
in class, specifically the app, Learning Tools, during this lesson in attempt to mastering
place value. Each student will also need to have Place Value Bingo card that they will
make. The students will need access to scissors and glue throughout the process of
making their Place Value Bingo cards. For counters, the students can use beans, plastic
coins, or regular circle math manipulatives; any of these will suffice for their Place Value
Bingo game. In regards to the Place Value Booklet, the students will each need five sheets
of paper and a pair of scissors to make slits on the pages. The teacher will need a stapler
to bind the pages together to make a booklet. During the students independent practice
when they will be configuring their own 3 and 4-digit numbers, the students will need a
number cube (dice) with numbers 0-9. This lesson will require a lot of materials and
supplies, but most of these items are easy accessible in a classroom or school setting.
Anticipatory Set
What will you do to motivate the students and get their attention? What is the hook
that will serve as a focus for the lessons activities?
The students will play Number Forms BINGO. The students will create their own BINGO
board using cutouts. The teacher will give the students time to make their BINGO cards.
The game consists of the teacher calling out different forms of numbers and the students
have to decipher whether they have that particular number on their BINGO card. For
example, the teacher will say 459 in expanded form and the student will look for
400+50+9 on their BINGO card. This game is a review for all of the different forms to write
a number. The students will enjoy playing a game, but during the game, the students are
also getting a full review of the different ways to write a number.
Pre-assessment
The teacher will allow the students to get their iPads out and open the app Learning Tools.
Learning Tools has an interesting tool called Whiteboard, which is like a personal white
board. The teacher will say a number aloud and ask the students to write one of the forms
on their board. The students will raise their white board facing the teacher. The teacher
will walk around the room examining if the students have knowledge or understanding of
the different forms numbers can be written.
What will you do to show students what is expected?
Teacher Modeling or
Demonstration
The teacher will do various examples of the different ways to write a number on the Smart
Board. The teacher will break down and explain all the different ways to write a number.
The teacher will ask the students questions to ensure that they understand what is
expected of them during instruction today. The teacher will ask several students to come
to the Smart Board and write numbers in a specific form. The teacher will use what the
student writes on the Smart Board as an example of the correct way to write a number or
the teacher will examine what the student did incorrectly in a positive way. The teacher
will stress that we are disagreeing the incorrect students idea, not the actual person. The
teacher will then model the four ways to write a number on the Smart Board.
What will we do together as they learn how to succeed at the new task?
Guided Practice
Checking for
Understanding
The teacher will review the different ways to write a number on the Smart Board with the
students following along and participating. The teacher will say a few numbers and the
students will have a chance to demonstrate their knowledge on the Smart Board. The
teacher will introduce a place value foldable to the students. Each student will receive five
sheets of paper, in which they will fold hot dog style. The students will cut three slits
through each paper, making four flaps on each paper. On the outer flap, the students will
write thousands on the first flap, hundreds on the second flap, tens on the third flap, and
ones on the last flap. The students will then write the digits 0 through 9 on each flap. The
students will get a chance to explore their place value booklets. The teacher will then
explain to the students exactly what they have just made. The teacher will ask the
students to make different numbers with their place value booklets. This place values
booklet will show the students the exact value of each digit and place.
What questions will you ask to determine if students understand so far? What techniques
or strategies will be used to determine if students understand so far?
The teacher will walk around the room checking on all of the students progress to see if
they understand the values of each place value position. The teacher will ask the students
specific questions regarding the different ways to write a number. The students will have
to answer the teacher and explain the meaning of each number form. The teacher will use
the iPad strategy to ensure that the students understand the different number forms. The
teacher will ask the students to write the specific form on their iPad white board. The
students will show the teacher their answer on the board; this will allow the teacher to
check for understanding.
What will students do by themselves to show that they have internalized the knowledge?
Independent Practice
In order for the students to show what they have learned, the students will each receive a
number cube. The students will roll the number cube to determine the digits for a 3-digt or
4-digit number. Once the students write the number in standard form on their paper, the
students will have to write that same number in all four forms. The students will be
required make ten 3-digit and 4-digit numbers and complete all forms of the numbers.
Allowing the students to use the number cube will give the students some motivation and
enthusiasm while doing their work. Using the number cube will give the students the
illusion that they are playing and just having fun, but they will really be practicing the
different forms to write numbers. This independent practice will give the students
repetition with making and writing numbers in various forms.
Closure
How will you conclude the lesson and relate it to future experiences? How will you wrap
up the lesson to reinforce concepts taught during the lesson?
The teacher will allow the students use their iPads once again in the closing of the lesson.
The students will open up the app, Learning Tools, to the white board. The teacher will say
a number aloud and ask the students to write one of the forms on their board. The
students will raise their white board facing the teacher. The teacher will walk around the
room examining if the students have knowledge or understanding of the different forms
numbers can be written. The teacher will also write a number on the board in one of the
various forms, and the teacher will ask the class to write that number in a different form.
What will students do to demonstrate what they have learned?
Assessment
(Give a description and attach to
lesson plan)
Extension Activities
The students will be given a worksheet, in which the standard form of multiple 3-digit and
4-digit numbers are given and the students have to write that number in all the other
forms, such as expanded form, base ten form, and word form. The students will
demonstrate all that they learned from the lesson by writing all the numbers in the other
three number forms. The students will be given a grade for this assessment.
What can students do at home or in the classroom to apply the knowledge or skills? How
could you use your colleagues or community agencies to improve student performance?
Students can practice writing 3-digit and 4-digit numbers in various forms on their iPads
at home. The students can also make 3-digit and 4-digit numbers on their place value
booklet to continue with practice in attempt of full understanding of mastering the concept
of place value. Students can ask a parent/guardian, sibling, or friend to give them
numbers to display on their place value booklet and to ask them the value of the digits in
the number that they derive. This fun activity will give the students practice with
recognizing the value of each digit in a number.
How will you use technology to assist students with learning the concepts? What
technology will you use to enhance the delivery and comprehension of your content?
Technology
The teacher will incorporate technology in the lesson by allowing the students to use their
iPads during the place value activity. The students will each have the opportunity to show
their knowledge regarding place value on their iPads. The teacher will ask the student to
write a certain number in a specific form on their iPads. The students will show the
teacher once finished. The students will use the white board on the Learning Tools app
that all of the students have downloaded on their iPads. Allowing the students to use their
iPads during instruction will definitely enhance the students comprehension of the
content because they are more engaged and excited to learn and master the concept.
How will you connect this lesson with other content areas across the curriculum?
Include the content areas as well as the arts, PE and Health.
This lesson will certainly connect with other lessons across the curriculum, such as Art,
P.E., and Health. The Place Value Bingo game that the students will be making and
constructing their own board will connect this lesson to Art. The students will get a
chance to use their artistic skills to cut, paste, and design their Place Value Bingo boards.
To connect this lesson to P.E., the teacher will allow the students to demonstrate the
value of the digit by counting the digits value aloud while doing jumping jacks. The
students will have to contemplate the digits value and then will display the digits value
during an exercise that most of them enjoy. This will be a fun, interactive, and active
activity for the students to partake in during the math lesson. In regards to Health, the
students will examine the amount of people with the Flu in Orangeburg. The students will
examine the amount and configure the value of several of the digits in the number, and
then partake in discussion about how important washing our hands and staying clean is a
factor in staying healthy. This activity will give the students an idea of how germs spread
among people in their community.
Strengths
This lesson had a lot of different parts, activities, and supplies, so I was worried about
managing the class while teaching content. Surprisingly, I felt very confident and
successful after teaching the lesson. The students were very responsive to my
instructions and not overwhelmingly talkative. The transitions from activity to activity
were very smooth; I made sure that the students understood what was expected from
them before actually transitioning. I explained with beyond thorough instructions to
prevent confusion, disruption, or problems. I allowed minimal talking on the topic while
the students interacted with their iPads because I understand some students assist their
peers while maneuvering the iPads. I made sure each table had access to glue and
scissors prior to the lesson beginning, so that the students did not ask never-ending
questions about getting their glue and/or scissors from their backpacks. Prior to students
beginning the number cube assignment, I ensured that the students knew where to turn in
the actual paper on the table when finished to prevent any disruption while other students
continue to work. I was very vocal throughout this lesson, but I allowed the students to
give their answers orally for their classmates to hear and learn from them. Overall, I
thought my instructional techniques, strategies, and classroom management were very
strong.
Describe the strengths of student engagement.
The students were very engaged all throughout the lesson. I was very pleased with their
enthusiasm and interest in place value and the different ways to write a number. The Place
Value Bingo game was an instant success; the students were excited to make their own
boards, but when the game started, the students were even more focused and attentive. I
was very enthused and excited myself, as the facilitator of the Bingo game, I had to match
their energy. The students were also very thrilled to use their iPads, just as they are
anytime they get usage throughout the school day. The students were very interested in
showing their knowledge through their iPad; I had full participation and answer
contribution throughout this part of the lesson. When the students began their
independent practice using the number cubes to devise their own 3 and 4-digit numbers,
the students were very excited to be active agents in their own learning. They expressed
that they enjoyed making their own numbers, instead of the usual teacher guided
assignment or worksheet. Overall, I thought the student engagement was superb.
Describe the weaknesses of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom
management.
Weaknesses
Suggestions for
Improvement
I felt like this lesson consisted of a lot of components and different activities. However, I
do not think I would change any aspect of this lesson. Since this lesson did have a lot of
different parts, I would change the way I facilitated the transition. The transitions between
activities at times were sometimes bumpy because the students would begin talking and
get off task. If I could change the transitions, I would give the students clear instructions
about what to do next prior to them moving on. Since I gave them the instructions as it
was time to switch, they had already begun talking and discussing what they had just
finished. I find that talking is ultimately my biggest obstacle with this class.
