Objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand representations of whole numbers up to 1000 and how to partition numbers to use and record quantity values.
Materials and Prep
- Paper
- Pencil
- 1000 chart (can be drawn by hand)
No prior knowledge needed for this lesson, just come with an open mind and readiness to learn!
Activities
- Activity 1: Let's Count!
Use the 1000 chart to count by 10s, 100s, and even try counting backwards. See if you can find any patterns! - Activity 2: Number Puzzles
Write down a number between 1 and 1000. Now, try to partition that number into hundreds, tens, and ones. For example, if you choose 365, you can write it as 300 + 60 + 5. - Activity 3: Number Art
Draw a picture using numbers! Use different numbers up to 1000 to create a fun design. For example, you can draw a house using 100s, 10s, and 1s.
