Name: Julie Chatfield

Title: place value

Summary:

We will use computer programs to explore the relationship between the base 10 system of counting and real-world scenarios.  We will learn how to count large numbers using counting methods in hundreds, tens, and ones. 

 

 

 

Primary Core Objective:

2nd Grade Standard 1 Objective 1a. Represent whole numbers in groups of hundreds, tens, and ones using base ten models and write the numeral representing the set in standard and expanded form.

 

Materials Used by the Teacher:

 

 

Materials Used by the Students:

 

·       A piece of paper and pen

 

Technologies Used by the Teacher:

 

·       Computer

·       Painter program

Technologies Used by the Students:

 

·       Computer

·       Painter program

Intended Learning Outcomes:

 

·       Partition sets of objects into hundreds, tens, and ones

·       Quickly count large amounts of objects

 

Instructional Procedures:

In small groups, the students will observe me drawing an object on the painter program.  When it comes time to create their own object, they can choose anything to draw that their imaginations can come up with.  I will then show them how to lasso and copy the object.  If they copy the object ten times, they will have a group in their tens.  I will show them how to lasso it and start copying that.  When they have ten copies of the set of ten, it creates 100 objects.  This will help solidify the fact that ten ones makes a group of ten, and ten tens makes a group of 100.  Then they can create uneven groupings, like two groups of a hundred, four groups of ten, and six ones. 

Extensions:

The students can create a number of objects, but not partition them quite yet.  Then they can switch with another student, and each student will partition the objects into groups of ten, then groups of 100 to quickly count how many objects there are on the screen.

Assessment Plan:

 

I will create a painting that will be loaded onto every computer, and the students will have to open it and count the objects.  They will use their paper and pencil to write the answer, and turn it in before they go back to their seats.

  1. Julie,

    Good use of technology to teach the math objective. The students were using the technology in a way that kept there focus on the objective. The students were also doing things that couldn't have been done without the use of the technology.
