Content Area: Math
TEKS: (3.1) Number, operation, and quantitative reasoning. The student uses place value to communicate about increasingly large whole numbers in verbal and written form, including money. The student is expected to:
(A) use place value to read, write (in symbols and words), and describe the value of whole numbers through 999,999
Genre: Place Value Poster/Chart
Summary: The Place Value Poster/Chart can be helpful for sudents when they read and write out numbers or money.
Instructional Strategy: Show me the answer
Students will do an activity called Number Line-Up. In this activity 3-6 students get a demo digit card, which is a paper with a number on it, and go to the front of the class. The students in their desk will have smaller versions of digit cards. The teacher will say a 3-6 digit number aloud and the students must arrange themselves to create that number. The students on the desk will create theirs using the small digit cards. Students are to say the number in words, and point to the digit in each place value students in the front of the class will have to raise the correct card. if they need help they are to look up at the Place Value Chart/Poster.
This is a great lesson to use because kinesthetic as well as logical intelligence is used. Students get to move around and construct numbers while interpreting their knowledge of them.
I really liked you lesson because by using a place value poster, visual learners acquire a better understanding, also kinesthetic and logical intelligence is used.
