I.  Preparing (to plan for instruction)

Materials:

·        Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics, page 17, number 9, children’s literature:  The Cheerios Counting Book, cheerios (use with the book), bean sticks, beans, overhead projector, transparencies, Percy Pig sheets and worksheets.                                                                                                    

Objectives: The students will:

·        (Application)  use manipulatives to identify the ones digit and tens digit in a number.

·        (Application)  use pictorial representation to identify the ones digit and the tens digit in a number.

·        (Analysis)  determine the value of a number given tens and ones.

Grade Level:  First

 

II.  Orienting (To establish purpose, build background, sustain motivation, and provide directions)

Anticipatory Set:

·        The teacher will read the book The Cheerios Counting Book.  The teacher will say, “Let’s pretend for a moment that our grandfather and our brother have the same birthday.”  She will explain that Grandfather will be 61 and brother will be 16.  (The teacher will write these numerals on a transparency.)  The teacher will ask, “Can anyone explain why the placement of the numbers is so important?”  (Analysis)    

Purpose:

·        The teacher will say, “Today we will learn about the tens and the ones in the place value system.”  The teacher will explain to the students the use of place value system in spending money.  

Connection to previous learning/Build background knowledge:

·        The teacher will start by having the children count to 10.  Then the teacher will have the students count from 11 to 20.  As the students count from 11-20, the teacher will write these numerals on a transparency.  After today, we will understand why the location of these digits is so important.  The ones and tens place value location will serve as a base to learn other place value locations.  (Hundreds and Thousands)

 

III.  Presenting (To use sequential direct instruction)

Teaching Procedures:

·        Show the class the place value chart.  The teacher will explain that place value is the basis of our (Base Ten) number system.  Define the term “place value”.  The teacher will say, “Place Values are simply the position of a digit in a number.”

·        The teacher will say, “Let’s look at the bean sticks we made last week.  It took 10 beans to complete one bean stick.  How many ones does it take to make a 10?”  (Ten)  (Application)

·        The teacher will say, “We are now going to look at our bean sticks and use them to compare our initial example of 16 and 61.”

·        The teacher will remind the students that the grouped beans on the bean sticks are tens and the ungrouped beans are the ones.

·        The teacher will show the symbolic representation for 16 and 61 on the overhead projector.

·        The teacher will say, “In the numeral 16 there is 1 ten and 6 ones and in the numeral 61 there is 6 tens and 1 one.”

·        The teacher will say, “Now let’s take our bean sticks and represent our numerals – please count with me.”

·        The teacher will work with the manipulatives & show pictorial representation while the students observe.

·        The class will say, “16 is 1 ten and 6 ones.”  (1 bean stick and 6 beans)

·        The class will say, “61 is 6 tens and 1 one.”  (6 bean stick and 1 bean)

·        The teacher will relate this content to other subjects.  The teacher will say, “When you write your name, don’t you always place your letters in a certain order?”

 

IV. Practicing and Summarizing (to reinforce and extend ideas)

Review:

·        The teacher will call on volunteers to define “place value.”

The teacher will call a volunteer to tell us how many ones make one ten.

·        The teacher will reread The Cheerios Counting Book.  This time the teacher will call on volunteers to represent the place value of each number orally and with manipulatives.  (Cheerios)

Guided Practice:

·        Introduce Percy Pig to the class.  Explain that Percy came to visit to ensure that everyone would understand place values.  The teacher will distribute a Pig cutout and beans/bean sticks to each student.  The teacher will explain that Percy would like them to show the number written on him with their beans/bean sticks.  The teacher will say, “When you hear oink, oink, oink, exchange your pig with a classmate’s pig and repeat the activity.”

·        The teacher will walk around and observe this activity while being available for any questions.

Independent Practice:

·        The teacher will have the students to take out their bean sticks and to construct the largest number possible with their sticks.  Then ask the students to draw a picture to represent the tens and the ones of the number they constructed and share the number and their picture with the class.

Strategies to use with Exceptional Children:

·        For enrichment, increase the number of beans and bean sticks given to the gifted children.

·        For remediation, have children work in small groups with fewer numbers of beans and bean sticks.

Activities for Cultural Diversity:

·        Children who speak English as a second language will identify the different places in the place value system in their own language.  Children will share with the class the number system that is used in that country.

Summarizing:

·        Remind students the importance of our place value system.  They have learned place values-tens and ones today but will learn through the millions in the future.

·        Ask students to bring from home a small object that contains a number for the class to identify its place values.

 

V.  Assessment: (To check for attainment of objectives)

  • Assessment will be completed by teacher observation of student activities throughout the week.  By assessing orally, in writing, and using manipulatives it is ensured these students will understand place values – ten and ones.
  • For added practice, hand out the place value worksheet to be completed for a homework grade.
