Description
What our Read/Write to 1000 lesson plan includes
Lesson Objectives and Overview: Read/Write to 1000 teaches students to read and write numerical values from 0 to 1000 in word, numeral, and expanded form. With ample demonstrations, resources, and a group activity, students will understand variable placement in equations, as well as how to determine the number of digits given numbers and the significance of varying digits. At the end of the lesson, students will be able to read and write numerical values from 0 to 1000 in word, numeral, and expanded form. This lesson is for students in 2nd grade and 3rd grade.
Classroom Procedure
Every lesson plan provides you with a classroom procedure page that outlines a step-by-step guide to follow. You do not have to follow the guide exactly. The guide helps you organize the lesson and details when to hand out worksheets. It also lists information in the blue box that you might find useful. You will find the lesson objectives, state standards, and number of class sessions the lesson should take to complete in this area. In addition, it describes the supplies you will need as well as what and how you need to prepare beforehand.
Options for Lesson
Included with this lesson is an “Options for Lesson” section that lists a number of suggestions for activities to add to the lesson or substitutions for the ones already in the lesson.
One optional addition to this lesson is to have your students use and fill out place value charts for each number. You could also have students find numbers around the school and write them in each form. Finally, you could have students take pictures at home and in their neighborhood to bring back to the classroom and write in all three formats.
Teacher Notes
The teacher notes page includes lines that you can use to add your own notes as you’re preparing for this lesson.
READ/WRITE TO 1000 LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES
Reading and Writing Numbers to 1000
The Read/Write to 1000 lesson plan includes two content pages. You can represent numbers in three ways: numerals, words, and expanded form. Numerals are the symbols that you use for certain numbers. The symbol “3” represents three of something, while the symbol “6” represents six of something.
The digits in a number represent place values, which tell us how many of something there is. Place values have names (millions, hundred thousands, etc.). Numerals also have corresponding words. For example, the numeral 1 corresponds to the word one, the numeral 2 corresponds to the word two, and so on. The lesson includes a chart that shows the names of numerals up to one hundred.
Expanded form is an addition sentence that shows the hundreds, tens, and ones (and any other place values). Essentially, you are expanding the numeral out to its place value components. For example, the expanded form of 372 is 300 + 70 + 2. This shows that there are 3 hundreds, 7 tens, and 2 ones.
Let’s take a look at a few examples and explore how to write numbers using all three methods.
Example 1: 141
Let’s look at the number 141. The lesson includes a table with hundreds, tens, and ones at the top. First, it shows how you would represent the number 141 in blocks: one block in the hundreds spot, four in the tens spot, and one in the ones spot. In numerals, you have a 1 in the hundreds spot, a 4 in the tens spot, and a 1 in the ones spot. In expanded form, it’s 100 + 40 + 1. Finally, in words, it’s one hundred forty one.
Example 2: 205
Next, let’s look at the number 205. To represent this number in blocks, you have two blocks in the hundreds spot, zero in the tens spot, and five in the ones spot. In numerals, you have a 2 in the hundreds spot, a 0 in the tens spot, and a 5 in the ones spot. In expanded form, it’s 200 + 0 + 5. Finally, in words, it’s two hundred and five.
In this example, there are no tens. When you don’t have any tens, use “and” in that spot when writing the number in words.
Example 3: 620
Finally, let’s look at the number 620. To represent this number in blocks, you have six blocks in the hundreds spot, two in the tens spot, and zero in the ones spot. In numerals, you have a 6 in the hundreds spot, a 2 in the tens spot, and a 0 in the ones spot. In expanded form, it’s 600 + 20 + 0. Finally, in words, it’s six hundred twenty.
In this example, there are no ones. When you don’t have any ones, you leave the word spot for the ones place blank.
It’s important to learn how to write numbers in different formats. A great way for students to practice this skill is to write numbers in multiple different forms.
READ/WRITE TO 1000 LESSON PLAN WORKSHEETS
The Read/Write to 1000 lesson plan includes four worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, a homework assignment, and a quiz. You can refer to the guide on the classroom procedure page to determine when to hand out each worksheet.
MODELING NUMBERS ACTIVITY WORKSHEET
For the activity worksheet, students will use the mat shown on the worksheet to model the numbers written on the board in blocks, numerals, and words.
WRITING NUMBERS PRACTICE WORKSHEET
The practice worksheet asks students to first circle the number that correctly corresponds to the number written in words. They will then write numbers in expanded form, in words, and in numerals.
READ/WRITE TO 1000 HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
For the homework assignment, students will match numbers written in numerals to the same number written in words. They will then circle the number that correctly corresponds to the number written in words. Finally, they will determine how many digits are in the number six hundred seventeen.
QUIZ
This lesson also includes a quiz that you can use to test students’ understanding of the lesson material. For the quiz, students will circle the number that correctly corresponds to the number written in words. They will then write numbers in expanded form, in words, and in numerals.
Worksheet Answer Keys
This lesson plan includes answer keys for the practice worksheet, the homework assignment, and the quiz. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.
