Vocabulary
Place Value: The value of a digit based on its position in a number.
Hundreds: A place value representing 100 units.
Tens: A place value representing 10 units.
Ones: A place value representing 1 unit.
Understand Place Value Models (up to Hundreds)
Prerequisite Skill
Materials and Preparation
- Place value blocks (hundreds, tens, ones)
- Whiteboard and markers
- TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Place Value Models
- Projector or visualizer for demonstrating problems
- Paper and pencils for students
Learning Objectives
- Students will understand the concept of place value for hundreds, tens, and ones.
- Students will be able to identify and create numbers using place value models.
- Students will be able to differentiate between the hundreds, tens, and ones places in a three-digit number.
Introduction
Begin the lesson by showing students a place value block set and explaining how each type of block represents different place values. Show a few examples of numbers and how they are represented using the blocks. For example, 724 is made up of 7 hundreds blocks, 2 tens blocks, and 4 ones blocks.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
Explain the concept of place value, emphasizing the importance of each digit's position. Use a visualizer or projector to demonstrate how different numbers are constructed using place value blocks. For instance, demonstrate the number 489 using 4 hundreds blocks, 8 tens blocks, and 9 ones blocks. Discuss how changing the position of digits changes the number's value.

Guided Practice
Provide students with a series of numbers and ask them to build the numbers using place value blocks. Walk around the classroom, offering guidance and support as needed. Use the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Place Value Models for additional practice problems. For example, ask students to show the number 352 using place value blocks.
Independent Practice
Hand out worksheets from the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Place Value Models and have students complete them independently. These worksheets should include exercises where students need to identify numbers from place value models and create numbers using place value blocks.
Differentiation
Support
- Work with students one-on-one or in small groups who need extra help understanding place value.
- Provide additional visual aids and hands-on practice with place value blocks.
Extension
- Challenge students to create larger numbers using thousands blocks and beyond.
- Ask students to solve problems that require them to add or subtract numbers using place value blocks.
Assessment
Evaluate students' understanding through their participation in guided practice, accuracy in independent practice worksheets, and their exit ticket responses. Use specific worksheets from the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Place Value Models to formally assess students' mastery of the lesson objectives.
Review and closing
Summarize the key points of the lesson, reiterating the importance of place value in understanding numbers. Address any common misconceptions that arose during the lesson. Allow students to ask questions and share their thoughts about what they learned.
Misconceptions
- Misunderstanding place value positions: Students might confuse the tens and ones places. Reinforce the idea that the position of a digit determines its value.
- Counting place value blocks incorrectly: Students might miscount the blocks, especially when dealing with higher numbers. Practice counting blocks together as a class.
