Students will use different colored construction paper (ones is orange, tens is blue, hundreds is green) to make the correct number of strips for each number’s place value.
I will make signs for the two numbers ( ) and we will connect the chains to the signs and hang them in the room.
I will tell students that they will be having a small quiz next Wednesday.

Addition and Subtraction Flashcards
Work with a partner and quiz each other
Number Line Activity
Students will be presented with a basic operation problem.
They will demonstrate their ability to solve the problem in their head using their movement up and down the number line on the floor.

16. Wrap-Up Activity Find Your Match!
Students will be given number tags (like a name tag) that have three digit numbers on them.
They must then find the student that adds up to 1000 with their number
They can check their math either by writing it on their whiteboards at their desk or using base ten blocks.
I will also inform students that they have a test next Friday.

Equal Grouping worksheet

20. Equal Grouping Activity
16 plastic containers and 100 small, fun erasers.
3-4 students per group
Each group will get twenty-five erasers and four containers.
Students must distribute erasers equally into the number of containers allowed for that problem.
The students can then pick a favorite eraser to keep.
I will then remind students about the test on Friday.

21. Daily Lesson Plan Summary
Standard covered
CC B.1
Use place value concepts to represent amounts of tens and ones and to compare three digit numbers.
Goal for understanding
Differentiating between place values of hundreds, tens, and ones.

22. Instructional Elements
Student Behaviors
Criteria for Evaluation
Use hand signals of just the pointer finger on one hand, all fingers up on both hands or both closed fists up to represent one, ten, and one hundred respectively.
Use base blocks to represent present three digit numbers.
Write numerals in Hundreds Tens Ones (HTO) worksheet to correctly represent the presented number
Correct hand signal used.
Correct display of base blocks.
The numerals written are in the correct spaces for their place value.

23. Introduction/Motivation/Prior Knowledge
Time
I will begin the lesson by asking students what place value is.
I will prompt them, asking “What is in the ones place of sixteen?” or something similar.
Once students understand place value as the value of the numeral in each place of the whole number, I will introduce Hundreds.
5 Minutes

24. Developmental Activities
Activity One
Time
I will use large base ten blocks to help show students the difference in value of one, ten, and one hundred.
I will combine multiple base blocks to represent three digit numbers, explaining to the students the number of the each block type in the whole display represents the place value.
For example, 347 would have 3 hundreds blocks, 4 tens blocks, and 7 ones blocks.
I will break down each number, and add or subtract base blocks to make new numbers.
10 Minutes

25. Developmental Activities
Activity Two
Time
I will then instruct students of the hand signals they will be using for the next activity.
When asked about the ones place value, the students will raise one pointer finger. When asked about the tens, they will raise both hands with all fingers up. When asked about the hundreds place value, they will raise both hands with closed fists.
A sample question for the number 524 could be, “What does the 2 represent?” I would hold up two tens blocks, and the students would raise both hands with all fingers up.
10 Minutes

26. Assessment 10 Minutes Assessment One Time
Students will then use their own base blocks to represent numbers that I will write on the whiteboard.
I will also say the number aloud and emphasize each place value.
I will have each student raise their hand once they have represented the number.
I will walk around and check each one, moving on to the next number once everyone is finished.
10 Minutes

27. Assessment 10 Minutes Assessment Two Time
I will then pass out HTO worksheets for each student.
This will help them practice writing numbers as well as identifying place value.
I will say three digit numbers aloud and the students will write down the number with the correct numeral place values on their sheet.
I will mark them during my closure.
10 Minutes

28. Closure
Closing Thoughts
Time
I will ask the students what place value is, while marking their HTO sheets.
I will also ask a few questions allowing for students to raise their hands and answer.
For example, “What is the tens value of 465?”. A student would answer “6”.
5 Minutes

29. Follow-Up/Materials/Differentiation
Continued use of HTO worksheet with number prompts, begin addition and subtraction of three-digit numbers
Materials
Base Blocks, Hundreds Tens Ones Worksheet
Differentiation
I will make sure that the student with the hearing impairment has her hearing aid on and my microphone is on as well.
