1. Topic-
|
Insect/Spider Place Value |
|
|
2. Content-
|
insects, spiders, place value, tens, hundreds, thousands, rounding |
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Continuing to use insects and spiders as a theme, the students
learn about place value. Since they are so connected to this theme,
the concept will become more meaningful and thus, be more easily internalized. |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.After the teacher presents various insect/spider facts with various
numbers, the students will identify the specific place values of numbers
(ie: tens, hundreds thousands, etc). |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
worksheet with various insect facts, pencils, white boards, dry
erase markers |
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. The teacher lets students know that they will be learning various
insect facts that involve numbers.
2. The students will identify the different place values. |
|
|
B. Development-
1.The teacher presents an insect fact: There is a particular spider
that grows up to 34 inches in length.
3. She then asks "which number is in the ones place?": 4, "the tens
place?": 3. "Now if I round this number to the nearest ten, what would
that be?": 30 |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. The teacher presents a different insect fact involving numbers
and has the students determine the place value of each number.
2.The students and teacher together, round the number to the nearest
hundred. |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. The teacher hands out a worksheet with various insect facts involving
numbers with place values ranging from one to one-thousand.
2. The students determine the place value of each number as required
on the worksheet.
3.The students round to the nearest ten, hundred,or thousand as required
by the worksheet. |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1.Certain students may only be required to round to the nearest
ten.
2. Rather than completing the entire page, certain students may only
be required to complete a portion of the page. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. The teacher uses white boards during the 'practice' phase and
has students share their answers with her.
2. The teacher collects the worksheet and evaluates it for accuracy. |
|
|
G. Closure-
The teacher reviews the concepts of place value and rounding by
having students share a couple of problems from the worksheet. |
