TEKS 3.2B: Place Value Relationships
Place Value Relationships
About this lesson
Learning Target: I understand the relationships in the base ten place value system.
Focuses On:
- Using base ten models to represent numbers through the concept of place value
- Using the place value chart to anchor student understanding of the base ten system
Builds On:
Understanding relationships in the place value system is a new concept at 3rd grade. Students should have foundational place value vocabulary from 2nd grade instruction through standard 2.2B.
Next Level:
4.2A:
- Students interpret the value of each place-value position as 10 times the position to the right and one-tenth of the value of the place to its left
Read More:
This lesson is designed to support student understanding that each place value to the left is 10 times the size of the place value immediately to the right.
The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on base ten models and place value charts.
In the first instructional block, students use base ten blocks to explore the relationships between the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands places in a number.
The second instructional block focuses on using the place value chart to identify the value of each digit.
Scaffolds and supports such as place value charts and models are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.
