Lesson Plan: Understanding Multi-Digit Numbers

Grade Level: 4th Grade Subject: Mathematics Duration: 60 minutes Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.4.NBT.A.1

Lesson Objective
Students will understand place value in multi-digit numbers, recognizing that a digit in one place represents ten
times what it represents in the place to its right. This will be the foundation for further learning in number sense
and operations.

Learning Outcomes
1. Identify Place Value: Students will identify the place value of digits in multi-digit numbers.

2. Explain Relationships: Students will explain the relationship between the places in multi-digit numbers
(e.g., tens, hundreds).

3. Demonstrate Understanding: Students will demonstrate understanding through examples and non-
examples.

4. Apply Knowledge: Students will apply their knowledge to solve problems involving place value.

5. Analyze Patterns: Students will analyze patterns in place value and describe them.

6. Evaluate Understanding: Students will evaluate and revise their understanding of place value through peer
discussion and feedback.

Materials
Whiteboard and markers

Place value charts

Base-ten blocks

Worksheets for practice problems

Interactive whiteboard or projector for digital demonstrations

Instructional Activities
Introduction (10 minutes)
Hook: Begin with a quick mental math game involving single-digit multiplication to warm up students’
number sense.

Objective Overview: Explain the day's learning objectives and why understanding place value is essential.

Direct Instruction (15 minutes)


Use a place value chart on the board to show how digits shift places.

Demonstrate how a digit in one place represents ten times more than the digit to its right using base-ten
blocks.

Provide several examples (e.g., 345 and 3,450) and walk through the place value of each digit.

Guided Practice (15 minutes)


Give students place value charts and base-ten blocks to work with partners.
Have students build numbers with the blocks and explain to their partner what each digit represents.

Circulate the room to offer support and ensure understanding.

Independent Practice (10 minutes)

Distribute worksheets with multi-digit numbers, asking students to write out the value of each digit.

Encourage students to use their place value charts as a reference.

Cooperative Learning Activity (10 minutes)


Organize students into small groups and provide a set of multi-digit number cards.

Challenge groups to arrange the cards in order of smallest to largest based on place value understanding.

Ask groups to present their reasoning to the class.

Conclusion (5 minutes)
Review the key concepts covered, emphasizing the relationship between places.

Ask students to reflect on what they learned and how they can apply it.

Assessment
Observe student participation in group activities.

Evaluate worksheets for accuracy in identifying place values.

Use a quick exit ticket question to assess individual understanding.

Differentiation
For Struggling Students: Provide additional practice with base-ten blocks and one-on-one support.

For Advanced Students: Introduce larger numbers or decimals to extend their understanding of place value.

For English Language Learners: Use visual aids and pair students with buddies for translation support.

By following this lesson plan, students will gain a fundamental understanding of place value, setting the stage for
more complex mathematical concepts in the future.
