Vocabulary
Place Value: The value of a digit based on its position within a number.
Thousands: A place value representing 1,000 units.
Hundreds: A place value representing 100 units.
Tens: A place value representing 10 units.
Ones: A place value representing a single unit.
Use Place Value Models - Up to Thousands
Prerequisite Skill
Materials and Preparation
- Place value blocks (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones)
- Interactive whiteboard or projector
- TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Place Value Models
- Markers and paper
- Sample problem: image provided showing place value models for 2,925
Learning Objectives
- Students will understand the place value of each digit in a four-digit number.
- Students will be able to represent numbers up to 9,999 using place value models.
- Students will accurately match numbers with their corresponding place value models.
Introduction
Begin the lesson by showing the image of the place value models for 2,925. Ask students to observe the models and discuss what they notice about the number of blocks used in each model. Explain that these models help us understand the value of each digit in a number.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
Explain place value using a four-digit number, such as 2,925. Break down the number into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones:
- 2 thousands (2,000)
- 9 hundreds (900)
- 2 tens (20)
- 5 ones (5) Show how each digit is represented by a specific number of place value blocks. Use the interactive whiteboard to illustrate this.

Guided Practice
Provide students with the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for Place Value Models. Work through a few problems together as a class, modeling how to match numbers to their correct place value models. Encourage students to ask questions and explain their reasoning.
Independent Practice
Have students complete additional problems from the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack independently. Circulate the room to provide assistance and ensure understanding. Students should be able to represent numbers up to 9,999 using place value blocks.
Differentiation
Support
- Provide additional one-on-one or small group instruction for students who need extra help understanding place value.
- Use manipulatives and visual aids to reinforce the concept.
Extension
- Challenge advanced students to represent numbers larger than 9,999 using place value models.
- Have students create their own place value models for given numbers and explain them to the class.
Assessment
Evaluate students' understanding through their performance on the guided practice, independent practice, and exit ticket. Check for accuracy in representing numbers with place value models and their ability to explain the concept.
Review and closing
Summarize the key points of the lesson, highlighting the importance of understanding place value. Address any common misconceptions and answer any remaining questions. Encourage students to share their observations and what they found challenging or interesting.
Misconceptions
- Confusing the order of place values (e.g., mixing up hundreds and thousands).
- Miscounting the number of place value blocks needed for each digit.
- Believing that the position of zeros in a number does not affect its value.
