Introduction: Before we begin our lesson, let’s start off by going over what place value is. Place value is a way of understanding that each number is made up of specific parts, or digits. It is also important to understand that each place in a number has a value that is 10 times larger than the place before it. For example, in the number 394, the 3 stands for 3 hundreds, the 9 stands for 9 tens and the 4 stands for 4 ones. Now that we understand what place value is, let’s begin our lesson! Lesson Outline: 1. Review Tens and Ones: Begin the lesson by having students review what tens and ones are and how to use them to represent larger numbers. Using concrete materials such as popsicle sticks, buttons, or unifix cubes can help students to understand this concept. (Resource 1) 2. Place Value to 100: Once students have a good understanding of tens and ones, introduce them to the idea of place value to 100. (Resource 2) Explain that there are 3 places in a number that come before hundreds — tens, ones, and hundreds — and discuss how each place has a larger value than the one before it. 3. Place Value to 1000: Next, have students practice expanding the concept of place value to 1000. Introduce the concepts of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones — and explain how each place holds a value that is 10 times larger than the place before it. (Resource 3) 4. Place Value Charts: Introduce the idea of using place value charts to represent numbers. Give students a variety of numbers and have them practice representing them using place value charts. (Resource 4) Questioning: Throughout the lesson, pose questions to help guide your students’ thinking. In particular: • What is place value? • How do tens and ones work together to create a larger number? • What is the value of each place? • How can place value charts help us understand a number? Assessment: At the end of the lesson, have students complete a worksheet that compiles Place Value skills such as identifying and determining the value of each place, representing numbers in number and word form, and comparing and ordering numbers. (Resource 5) This can be used as an assessment to determine each student’s understanding of the topic. Differentiation: For students who need more support, provide additional activities and materials such as differentiated worksheets, math manipulatives, and number flashcards. (Resource 6) For students who need more of a challenge, provide activities such as place value puzzles, practice rounding numbers to the nearest 10, or practice finding the place value for larger numbers such as to 10,000. (Resource 7) Plenary: To review the material, have the class play a game such as the “Place Value Race”. Give each student a set of place value cards (hundreds, tens, and units) and have them try to create the largest number possible. The first student to get all their cards in the correct place wins.

Introduction Introduce place value concepts and activities using a PowerPoint (or Prezi, or video) and discuss why this topic is important and the role it plays in math. Examples of place value increasing with higher numbers can be shown, as a visual aid for students. Additionally, introduce the idea that understanding place value will help them with various topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and ask the class what they already know about place value. Lesson Outline • Review Ones, Tens, and Hundreds place values and discuss what each means in terms of numbers • Show how to use an expanded form to represent numbers and practice using it on the board • Introduce Numbers in the Thousands place value and discuss what this means in terms of numbers • Demonstrate increasing and decreasing numbers in an expanded form • Have students complete a worksheet that helps practice and reinforce these concepts (see resources listed below) Questioning • Ask questions to gauge understanding such as: What is expanded form? How can you use this to represent and work with numbers? What do the numbers in the thousands, hundreds, and tens place values represent? Assessment • Assessing student understanding can be done through observation, or by having students complete a short, tiered assessment that covers the objectives of the lesson (i.e. questions with multiple Answer choices, multiple choice, fill in the blanks etc.). Differentiation • Tailor the learning activities based on individual student needs. For instance, a student that is having difficulty grasping the concepts can benefit from activities such as tactile learning (e.g., using Unifix cubes to match amounts of the different place values), physical activity (e.g., using flashcards to reinforce memorizing place values) or video games (e.g., online games to practice selecting the correct place value for numbers). Plenary • Wrap up the lesson by having students explain what they now understand about place value and its importance in mathematics. Additionally, ask students to demonstrate some of the skills they have learned (e.g., by solving a problem using expanded form) or to draw an illustration of how they can use place value in everyday life.

After discussing as a class, create a timeline of important events related to the invention of the telephone and Alexander Graham Bell. Utilize the whiteboard/chalkboard for this. 5. Have students write a reflection about the importance of the telephone and Alexander Graham Bell’s accomplishments. 6. Conclude by discussing the importance of Alexander Graham Bell and his contributions to society.

It was a typical day at the seaside for Emily. The warm summer sun glittered off the waves as they crashed onto the shore and the familiar smell of salty water and sun cream filled the air. Emily had come to this spot since she was a young girl and it had always been her favourite place to visit. Today she was determined to make the most of it by finding some interesting shells on the beach. She kicked off her sandals and started making her way down the sand dunes when something unusual caught her eye. There, in the middle of a large sand dune, was an old wooden door! Emily cautiously approached the door and to her surprise it was opened. Carefully, she peered inside, expecting to find nothing more than an empty room. But as she stepped into the doorway a gust of wind swept around her, ruffling her long blonde hair, and the door closed swiftly behind her, trapping her inside. Her heart raced as she looked around and realized that she was no longer in her beloved beach, but in a strange, forgotten land. With the door locked tight, Emily took a deep breath, wondering what on earth she was going to do now.
