SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
(1) Read 4-digit numbers correctly and state the value of each digit
(2) Create 3- and 4-digit numbers using understanding of place value to reach a target number
(3) Demonstrate turn taking skills and patience during a mathematics game
1.35pm
Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & key questions): 18 X counters
WALT: Read 4 digit numbers and apply our understanding of place value to make numbers Target number mats-
5. Make 4-digit number using target number mat (drop 9x counters) 3/5/5-digit
Drop 9 x counters onto target mat Place value comparison
Any counters that do not land on the target become units/ones. chart
Calculate the number and write it into the place value chart- e.g. If 3 counters land in the thousands target this means
there are 3 thousands etc
6. Repeat process generating another number
7. Which number is the bigger number? How do we know this?
Key teaching points:
8. When we compare numbers with the same number of digits (4 digits each), we compare the highest place value first. A
higher face value means a greater number.
9. If the higher place values are having the same face values, then compare lower face values
10. Use the grid below to model to students how to break up the numbers into their place value and use the = < > signs
11. *** key teaching point- what happens when we have a 0 in the hundreds/ tens place?
12. Students take it in turns to drop counters onto the target mat- start with hundreds, progress to thousands
13. Each time students write their number- students are to read the number out loud
Questions:
- Is your number larger or smaller, how do you know?
- What is the value of the digits in the hundred’s column? How about the thousands?
- What happens if the hundreds column changes to zero? How does that effect my number? How do we say the
number now?
** adjustment: increased number of counters to 18 for students to drop to make larger numbers for students to read/ model the
concept of 10 x in place value.
** Adjustment: Ran out of time- students selected one question and briefly provided a response
