In a detailed format, this plan walks learners through an introduction to place value. They explore place value words and concepts and recognize patterns in the number system. Students identify a number when given a number word. They use...

Elementary schoolers use their understanding of place value to develop a strategy for a number game. In this lesson, pupils use place value to play "100 or Bust" and figure out a good winning strategy. These kinds of math games are...

Second graders build number sense in an activity that requires the matching of base 10 representations to numbers. It is the teachers responsibility to gauge student understanding and involvement while class members work in groups.

Developing fluency with basic addition and subtraction is fundamental to the success of all young mathematicians. This four-day lesson series begins with learners using ten-frames and hundreds charts to recognize patterns when adding and...

Place value is a concept that sets a foundation for mathematical understanding. Ordering these sets of three- and four-digit numbers will help to strengthen that foundation. A great independent practice worksheet or short assessment to...

The class discovers how a decimal can make all the difference in the Olympics. As they learn about decimal place values, they compare and contrast data and demonstrate decimal values using manipulatives.

Young mathematicians spin their way to a deeper number sense with this fun, collaborative activity. Using two spinners, one with the numbers 0-9 and the other with the decades 00-90, pairs of students take turns building and comparing...

Fourth graders have a class discussion about fraction and negative numbers that were in the coordinates. They plot and read ordered numbered pairs. They transform ordered pairs and explore transformation of figures on a plane.

Students identify the place value of numbers from 1-10,000. In this place value lesson, students play a bingo game with place value.  Students answer questions about place value on a worksheet.

Students study an abacus while counting marathon runners.  In this place value lesson, students watch a video segment on how counters keep track of marathon runners to reinforce the idea of place value.  

Young learners determine the place value of a digit in a given number.  They review 10s and 1s place value by participating in activities using unit blocks. Some excellent independent practice is built in to this plan. A written...

Add visual representation to teaching place value with a magnitude model. Using adding machine tape, pupils build a linear place value strip from 1 to 100.

After completing a fluency practice set on subtracting, multiplying, and comparing decimals, pupils begin learning about dividing decimals by whole numbers. They see how to use place value reasoning to find compatible numbers for...

Second graders complete math problems. In this place value lesson, 2nd graders read the book "One Grain of Rice" and use it to learn about place value. Students use index cards and rice to complete a place value activity.

Students explore the concept of place value with a hand-made odometer. In this math lesson, students construct a cardboard odometer with movable paper strips to show increases in mileage to the hundredths place. Students solve story...

Students are introduced to the importance of using place value in number systems. They view a video, play games, explore websites and research the pay scale of three jobs that interest them.

Practice place value skills with this lesson plan. Learners put numbers in order from greatest to least, identify the values of particular numbers, and engage in an activity to compare numbers using manipulatives.

Students play a game in which they build and compare large numbers to learn place value. They use place value to read, write and compare large numbers.

Daily routines not only help to manage classrooms, they can also provide students with rich opportunities for learning. This activity supports young learners in developing their number sense by counting up the school days on a class...

Students order digits to create the highest or lowest possible number. They roll a die, and determine where to place the number according to their place value, ordering the numbers to create the highest or lowest number.

Learners solve math problems involving subtracting with regrouping. They practice the steps for subtracting in the hundreds place with regrouping, through teacher guided practice. Independently, pupils complete story problems involving...

How do I solve a two-digit multiplication problem? Your class tackles this question by walking through problem solving methods. They first investigates and applies traditional multiplication methods, and they then compare those with...

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math lesson. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and subtraction problems as...

Students participate in a Math game for Place Value that be fun for Students. The game can be adapted to any grade level.
