many ones do we have? Write it on the board, i.e. 6 hundreds, 4 tens, 7 ones.

What is the value of the hundreds (total amount)? What is the value of the tens?

What is the value of the ones? Model how to write the number in expanded

form, i.e. 600 + 40 + 7 = 647 and tell the students that this is called expanded

form.

o Identify the placement of today’s number on a number line. T. Can you think

about 2 numbers that are smaller than today’s number? Pair-share T. Can you

think about 2 numbers that are larger than today’s number? Pair-share.

o T. randomly places these numbers on the number line. Prompted, S. suggest to

the T. where the numbers should appear on the number line. T. invites S. to

place the numbers correctly. What does the placement of these numbers on the

number line tell you? Should these numbers be next to, close to, or far apart

from each other? Explain why?

• Class Conversation:

o Where would we place today’s number? What do you notice about the numbers

on the number line? Where is today’s number in relation to the other numbers?

o If we counted by tens, what would be the closest ten from today’s number? So,

what would be today’s number rounded to the nearest ten be (i.e. 650)?

o What does rounded to the nearest ten mean?

o Explain one idea you learned, today. Share with your shoulder partner.

• Partner Practice:

o Now, I am going to have you work on a new number with your partner while

your teacher and I talk about the ideas that you shared.

o Have two students pull out digit cards to create the new number on the board.

Say the new number with the whole class twice and release students to begin

partner work.
