Scoring Guide Each student will have a bingo card and chips. As I call
out a number, the students will look at the base ten
card and identify if they have the correct model that
represents that particular number. (Ex: I call out the
number 35. The student will look to see if one of the
base ten models displays 3-rods, and 5-bits. Once a
student fills five in a row, I will look over their chips to
make sure they have placed them correctly.

Introduction
Anticipatory Set
I will display the anchor chart that I have created.
Questions to create critical thinking:
- What do you know about 2-digit numbers?
- Have you ever heard of the base ten system?
Today, we are going to be reviewing/learning about 2-digit numbers using something called
the base ten system.
I want you to face your table partner, and discuss what you know about 2-digit numbers.
You will have one minute to come up with an answer! Can someone raise their hand and tell
me what they discussed with their partner?
In the United States, we use something called the base ten number system. This means that
we have organized the way our numbers work by tens. Can someone raise their hand and
tell me what they know about counting by tens? Why is this helpful?

We are going to reflect on what place value is. Each of you are going to have a place value
mat, with 10-rods (tens), and 10-bits (ones).
Before we begin, I want you to know that we are using these models to represent quantities
(an amount).
I am going to start by showing you the place value blocks, showing ones, tens, and hundreds
to show how they all work together in a number system. For example: There are ten of
these (one flat) in this (ten rod). Since a ten rod is notched, I will give each of you a couple
seconds to count the ones in your ten rods.
So how much is this? (shows a bit). How much is this? (shows a rod)
Now we are going to continue with our base ten system. There are ten of these (ten bits) in
this (10 rod) and that makes what?
Do you think we can count by ones to figure out what number that is? Laying each bit right
on top the 10 rod, we count together by ones (I will choose a student to go to the board and
make tally marks to create concrete proof that we have counted by one, ten times).
(Show the students one individual ones bit) What does this represent and where do you
think you should put it on your place value mat? (Students should place the bit on the ones
place on their place value mat).
When we get to ten bits in the ones place, what do you think we do next?
When we place ten bits in the ones place, it becomes overloaded. When this happens, the
ten ones “magnet” together to form a rod of ten. (Students will place ten ones cubes in a line
and then compare them to the tens rods) Can you see the similarity?
Here are 10 ten rods. I want you to think silently and be ready to explain how these would
come together into a hundreds flat. Do you see a pattern? (We will continue practicing with
different numbers, and each student will use their place value mat to model each one)
Communication of Objectives
The students will group base ten blocks to model 2-digit numbers by using hands-on
practice and repetition. Once the students understand place value, and what each number
represents in the base ten system, we will practice by playing bingo. (Place Value Bingo)
Input
I will provide a foundation of knowledge on the base ten system, while allowing the
students to share their previous knowledge on 2-digit numbers.
I will explain to the students that each number has a place value, and can be modeled by
using base ten blocks. I will inform them that there is a specific pattern when grouping base
ten blocks. For example: If we have the number 19, we will have 1-ten rods, and 9 bits. If we
wanted to make this number 20, we would have to trade out the ten ones for a ten rod,
creating 2-ten rods, and 0 bits.
I will refer back to the anchor chart, to redirect students that are struggling, as well as their
place value mats.
I will explain to the students that there is a way to model each number. I will spend a lot of
time reviewing how each digit has a value, and then begin practicing building together.
Modeling
When discussing what the base ten system is, I will model by breaking down each place
value, what each model stands for (bits and rods), and how this can be applied with 2-digit
numbers.
I am first going to explain the place value of each number (Ex: In the number 10, the 1 is in
the tens place and the 0 is in the ones place).
To dive deeper, I am going to show the students concrete models that will represent each
place value. (Thinking aloud: In front of me, I have a rod and a bit. The rod represents 10
and the bit represents 1)

I will pull out a place value mat, and explain how to use it. (Think aloud: Each concrete
model will be placed in a certain section on the mat. We now know what each model
represents, so all you have to do is place that model where it needs to go. For example, I am
going to represent the number “22” by using base 10 blocks. On the place value mat, I will
place 2 rods in the tens place, and 2 bits in the ones place.
In order for the students to understand what the base ten system is, they have to know why
the ten bits turn into a ten rod.
I will place ten-bits next to a ten-rod, and explain to the students that these are similar.
I will write the number 39 on the board, and show the students how to make this number
into 40. (I will trade out the ten bits for a ten rod, which will leave us with 4 ten rods and 0
bits)
If students catch on quickly, I will write the number 99 on the board, and will show the
students how to make this number into 100. (I will trade out the ten bits for a ten rod, and
since there will be ten bits, we will trade them out for a flat. The hundred flat, 0 rods, and 0
bits will now represent 100).
Guided Practice
As a class, we will practice and review the content until students are familiar with the base
ten system.
After I model how to use the base ten blocks, the students will practice with guidance.
I will first write the number “57” on the board, and the students will arrange their blocks
accordingly. (The students should have placed 5-rods in the tens place and 7-bits in the
ones place)
For the students that aren’t grasping this concept, I will break down each place value, and
count to see what they are missing.
We will practice using our mats two more times. I will write the numbers “36” and “38” on
the board, and observe.
After the students have mastered their place value mats and understanding the base ten
system, we will move on to the bingo game.
Checks for Understanding
Questions to consider:
What is the base ten system?
How can we use models to identify place value?
As we work on the base ten system, I will check for understanding through informal
observation. Is this student using their models correctly?
Independent Practice/Assignment
After reviewing the content, the students will practice what they have learned.
The students will play a game because it will keep them engaged, while I walk around to
check for understanding and questions.
The students will play the game Place Value Bingo. Each student will be given a card and a
handful of chips. (These cards will be in a plastic sleeve for protection)
I will have a bucket full of paper and each piece of paper will have a number on it. I will
begin by pulling out two digit numbers. When the number is called, the students will look at
their bingo card, and find the model of ones cubes and tens rods that represent the number
I called. I will tell the students that there is a free space, in the middle of the card, which is
represented by the blue star.
Their goal is to get five in a row.
If the game becomes “too easy,” I will change the game to “cover all,” where the students
have to cover the entire board instead of just getting five in a row.

Once the students get five in a row, they will call out “Bingo!” When a student gets BINGO,
they will read their winning numbers and I will check to make sure that they have them all
correct. We will play this game a few times, or until the timer runs out.
Closure
Once finished playing the Place Value Bingo game, the students will put away their supplies
and talk with their table partner about why they think we learned about building numbers
and place value. This will allow me to listen to their conversations and their understanding
of the lesson. Students will then share their discussion.
Closing statement: I will inform the students why it is important for them to understand
why they are learning base ten. Base ten will be used for the rest of your lives (in third,
fourth, fifth grade, and so on!)
