Learning Objectives
1. Identify the place value of digits in a two-digit number (e.g., tens and ones).
2. Compose and decompose two-digit numbers into tens and ones using models and drawings.
3. Apply their understanding of place value to solve simple problems involving tens and ones.
Materials
- Digital interactive place value tool (e.g., from a math learning website)
Engage:
1. Begin with a riddle: "I am a two-digit number. My tens digit is 4, and my ones digit is 2. What
number am I?"
2. Show a number chart with several numbers. Ask students to raise their hands when they hear
3. Briefly discuss: "What does it mean to be in the tens place or the ones place?"
Explore:
Lesson Plan: Understanding Place Value (Primary Grade)
2. Ask students to work in pairs to represent the number "34" using blocks (e.g., three rods for tens
3. Challenge them with a few more numbers (e.g., 12, 25, 47).
4. Observe and guide students as they manipulate the blocks. Ask questions like, "Why did you
Explain:
1. Use a place value chart on the whiteboard. Write "34" and ask students to help place the digits
3. Reinforce the concept using another example: "What about 56? What are its tens and ones?"
Elaborate:
1. Integrate technology: Use a digital interactive place value tool. Let students drag and drop virtual
2. Pose real-world problems, such as: "Samantha has 4 packs of pencils (10 pencils in each pack)
and 3 single pencils. How many pencils does she have in total?"
Evaluate:
1. Distribute practice worksheets where students identify, compose, and decompose two-digit
numbers.
2. Conduct a quick oral quiz: Call out numbers, and students show the number of tens and ones
Teaching Strategies
1. Hands-on Learning: Students use base-ten blocks to explore and understand the concept of
place value.
2. Guided Discovery: Teacher facilitates learning by guiding students through questions and
Reflection/Closure
- Recap by asking: "What did we learn about tens and ones today?"
- Exit ticket: Each student writes one number, its tens, and ones on a small sticky note before
