Concept Map: Everything with a place...even numbers!

Everything with a place.... even numbers!
CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1 Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
    CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1a 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens — called a “hundred.”
    CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1b The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).

I. Review numbers
Discover what the class knows going into the lesson on place value. What do they know as a group about numbers, counting, and if anything, on place value.
A. Group
each individual table takes turns counting as a group in increments of 10 until 100 is reached. (table 1:1-10, table 2:10-20, etc.)
B. Individual discussion
Give the class a number and ask a random student how it is read and how he or she knows.

A. Visualize chart
Show visual on the board of place value using simple illustration of place value cards.
B. Connect chart to base-ten
Connect the visual to base-ten blocks. What is the equivalent of place value card to blocks? Show this visually in front of class

III. Touch it:
Base-ten blocks
  -  CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1a 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens — called a “hundred.”
  -  CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1b The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).
A. Define: meaning of "100"
What exactly is one-hundred? What does the term "one-hundred" mean?
B. Count
Each student breaks down their understanding by showing you with blocks. 

IV. Write it
Hands on activity for students to lead peers in classroom learning. 1 student (previous best participants) from each table takes on this "leadership" activity.
A. Student-led participation
Each student chosen will go to the front of the classroom and write a 3-digit number on the board for the class to identify and show with his or her own individual blocks.
B. Class response
Class responds by using blocks to visualize written numbers. Chosen student waits and then presents correct answer for peers.

A. Computer application
Learn to apply "place value" in a fun activity online.
B. Evaluate
As students are doing activity, walk around and evaluate the point system and make sure all students understood concept of taught lesson.

  1. Did you choose math as a topic because you want to teach it? Based off of this, I think you'd be great!

    1. I'm fascinated with the challenges math presents and I tend to be analytical. So to think as a child, I strove to prepare a lesson that'd cover majority of confusion. I appreciate that encouragement!

  2. I like how you chose to do your lesson on math for starters! I also admire the group activity in reviewing their knowledge.

  3. I really liked your computer game activity. I played it while listening to your presentation, and it is a really great review and practice for students learning place value. Kids love games, and I think this will really help them learn and have fun! Great job!!

  4. I really like that you incorporated the base ten blocks because I think a lot of times for students it helps for them to be able to touch it to understand just a little bit better. It helps for all of your different types of learners who may not get it as well just being told. I love hands on teaching!

  6. You seem to be very prepared for the class. This seems very organized. Can definitely see this as a successful lesson for your second graders. A lot of interesting ideas.

  7. I like your concept map and also the Fruit game. It looks really fun. I also like the other link that was in there. All of the activities seem like they would be fun for 2nd graders, also.

  8. I love how you are very confident in your lesson and the ideas that you have in place. The only thing I would say to change is the way your chart looks. The lines are kind of distracting and it seems very hectic so it's hard to look at. The games you included in the lesson though are alot of fun though!!

    1. I completely agree Jordan. I need to practice more with the concept map because it definitely didn't look like what I was going for. I look forward to doing a few more so I can better organize with those. Thanks for the pointer tho! I knew if anyone was really honest, they'd say something! Lol learn as we go!

  10. Props on doing math because that is a really challeging lesson when trying to include technology. The kids would really enjoy the smart board activity. Good job presenting your concept map. Your tone of voice is very good and helps to keep attention! Your going to do great teaching.

  11. Good way that you integrated technology. I liked your categories. Makes it sound easy. Student led is awesome becuase that helps them stay active and you can really tell if they know it becuase they have to explain it. Good job! Just stay comfortable!

  13. I like how organized your lesson is and especially because you included a review. I think you really thought of your students when creating this because you took the necessary steps to make sure they understand place value. Great job!

  14. Great idea to let students lead other students to get out of teacher lecturing/student listening mode.

  15. I like how you incorporated base-ten blocks. I think those are a good resource for young children when dealing with place value. I like how the students get to visualize a chart and also play a game online.

  16. You talked about how you would assess the students by checking their scores

  17. Really cute title! It's catchy. You carry yourself very well when you're talking and moving around the classroom. I like that you categorized your activities by activities/senses. You have really great idea to use in your classroom.

  18. Great use of technology for math! I love the blocks!

  19. Place value is a hard thing to teach but starting with the even numbers have been easier for children to learn quickly. The odd will fall into place. This would be easy for second graders this would be more first grade near the end of the year. Love the games.

  20. You said that this was, "very very easy." For them this is going to be very difficult. Math is one of the subjects that 2nd graders have the most difficulty in. You have some really great activities that they will love. Using hands-on blocks, like you suggested, will help them the most.

  21. I liked how all of your activities connected and built on one another. Also, I liked how you incorporated what they should have learned in first grade, and got them to recall what they already knew about the subject.

  22. I like how you use different ways to teach the students.
