Learning Objectives
Students will be able to read and write three-digit numbers using base-ten blocks and written form.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Ask students to put their thumbs up if they have ever been shopping and looked at new bikes or scooters.
- Show students the example price tag or project the image on the whiteboard. Challenge students to tell their elbow partner the number listed on the price tag.
- Continue by explaining that bikes and scooters are sometimes a lot of money, or expensive. Tell the students that the number on the price tag is a three-digit number, and today you will learn about them.
- Explain the learning objective for today by explaining to students that they are going to learn how to write and read three-digit numbers using base-ten blocks for support.
Beginning
- Show students a visual of a bike and scooter to provide context.
- Encourage students to say "yes" or "no" as opposed to putting a thumb up.
Intermediate
- Provide sentence stems/frames to support students in discussing their ideas with their partner, such as:
- I saw a ________ (bike/scooter) at ________ (name of store).
- The number on the price tag is ________.
