Objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand and identify place value in numbers up to 100.
Materials and Prep
- Pencil
- Blank paper
- Number cards (0-9)
Before starting the lesson, make sure you are familiar with counting numbers from 1 to 100.
Activities
- Introduction to Place Value:
Start by asking the student to write down the numbers from 1 to 10 on a piece of paper. Then, explain that each number is made up of digits. For example, the number 7 is made up of the digit 7. Ask the student to write down the digits 0 to 9 on separate pieces of paper.
- Building Two-Digit Numbers:
Show the student a two-digit number card, such as 26. Ask the student to identify the digit in the tens place (2) and the digit in the ones place (6). Have the student use the digit cards to build the number 26 on their own.
- Place Value Chart:
Create a simple place value chart on the paper, with two columns labeled "Tens" and "Ones". Ask the student to write down the number 26 in the appropriate columns. Then, repeat this step with a few more two-digit numbers.
- Identifying Place Value:
Show the student a random two-digit number card and ask them to identify the digit in the tens place and the digit in the ones place. Repeat this activity with different numbers to reinforce understanding.
First Grade Talking Points
- "Today, we will learn about place value. Do you know what place value means?"
- "Numbers are made up of digits. For example, the number 7 is made up of the digit 7. Can you think of any other numbers and their digits?"
- "To build two-digit numbers, we need to understand the tens place and the ones place. The tens place tells us how many groups of ten we have, and the ones place tells us how many ones we have."
- "Let's practice identifying the tens and ones place in different numbers. Can you tell me what the digit is in the tens place for the number 35?"
- "Great job! Now, can you tell me what the digit is in the ones place for the number 48?"
