Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around
Students will continue to explore the value of each place value column and expand numbers to identify the true value of each digit. They will investigate expanded numbers further by making expanded number bugs.
Students will apply their expanding number skills from the previous lesson to continue to expand numbers and create a memory match up game.
This lesson builds on lesson 1 and 2 from this topic. Students will compare the populations of different fictional countries using their place value knowledge.
Students will use their comparing number knowledge from the previous lesson to problem-solve and put numbers in order. They will use their ordering number skills to solve clues and find the names of the animals.
This lesson explores how to correctly read and write large numbers using a ‘hotel’ strategy. Students will help animals find the paintings they have bought by matching written and numeral amounts.
This lesson explores how to correctly read and write large numbers using a ‘hotel’ strategy. Students will create the world’s most disgusting restaurants.
Students will explore the concept of rounding to the nearest 10 using a number line strategy. They will use cards and dice to create numbers to round.
Students will explore rounding to the nearest 100 and continue to apply their knowledge of rounding to 10. They will use their skills to play a game called Flip ‘n Roll Rounding.
Students will use the number line strategy to round numbers to the nearest 1,000. They will practice their rounding skills by playing a game called Eggs in a Basket.
Students will explore the value of tenths and represent decimal amounts (tenths) in picture and word form. Students will use their knowledge by helping farmers find the weight of their crops.
Students will recap the value of tenths and explore the value of hundredths, along with the connection between them. They will make paper planes and record their air time, then represent the time in pictures, numbers and words.
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 sculptures and regroup the amounts used.
Students will apply their new regrouping knowledge to at least the thousands column. They will use their problem-solving skills when working out which character has won their block building competition.
Students will consolidate their place value knowledge and use critical thinking skills to solve a series of puzzles. They will apply their knowledge of expanding, rounding, regrouping, comparing and writing whole numbers and decimals.
