ABC Simplicity

After guided practice with dry erase boards and playing games (repetitive practice with writing numbers in different ways), students will complete this worksheet. *I used this as a formative assessment in order to gauge whether or not to move on or allow students more time to practice this skill.

Students will use the RDW strategy to identify how to solve 3 word problems. R: Read the word problem (I prefer 1 sentence at a time). D: Draw a picture of the information provided. W: Write the equation and solve. *Prior Knowledge: Students must be able to add and subtract double digit numbers independently.

We began the lesson by watching a video about place value (each digit has a "home"). We then used our dry erase boards and practiced identifying the value of digits in the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands. Lastly, students identified the value of each underlined digit up to the Ten Thousands independently using this worksheet.

Students will use the "Make a 10" strategy to add two 1 digit numbers. You will need 10 frame boards (magnetic or otherwise) as well as manipulatives to use for the 10 frame board.
