Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around
Students will learn to write and draw number in expanded form by identifying the value of each digit in a number. Students will be exposed the visual representation of each digit to gain an understanding of the difference in value between place values. They will then complete an activity that involves creating and expanding numbers.
Students will expand numbers and explore the value of each digit. Students will be exposed to the visual representation of each digit to gain an understanding of the difference in value between place values. They will get creative whilst making expanded form creatures!
Students will apply knowledge gained during the ‘Expanding Numbers’ lessons in order to compare the value of numbers. Students will compare the prices of items in two different shops and explain their thinking.
This lesson builds upon the foundation laid in the ‘Compare Numbers’ lesson, where students practised comparing two numbers. In this session, they will take their skills further by comparing and ordering multiple large numbers, deepening their understanding and confidence in working with greater values. Students will use their knowledge to compare the results of the exercise competition..
Students will apply their comparing and ordering skills to play an engaging game, called Super-Duper Teeny-Weeny, which challenges them to build and compare numbers.
This lesson explores how to correctly read and write large numbers using a ‘hotel’ strategy. Students will create random numbers and use the hotel strategy to help them to read and write the numbers.
Students will apply their understanding of reading and writing numbers in number form and word form in order to create a birthday wish list.
Students will create numbers that match specific criteria for each place value. They will apply their place value knowledge and problem-solving skills to solve ‘Build-It Challenges’ and find the matching amounts.
Through visuals, students will explore how each place value column is 10x greater than the last and use this knowledge to regroup amounts. Students will create place value block sculptures and regroup the amounts used. (If you do not have place value blocks, there is a picture alternative.)
Students will apply their new regrouping knowledge to play ‘Swapsies’, a fun trading game that involves regrouping amounts using place value.
Students will be introduced to the concept of rounding and begin rounding to the nearest 10 using a number line strategy. They will use their knowledge to create random numbers and round them to the nearest 10.
Students will continue to use the number line strategy to round to the nearest ten. Students will apply their knowledge from the previous lesson to play a fun rounding game called Ice Breaker.
Students will continue practicng the number line strategy to confidently round numbers to the nearest 100, reinforcing their understanding through a visual approach. They will reinforce their knowledge by creating random numbers to round to 100 .
Students will apply their knowledge of rounding numbers to the nearest hundred to play a fun game called Fruit Salad Scramble.
Students will consolidate their place value knowledge and use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to complete number puzzles/riddles.
