Expanded Form And Place Values Lesson Plan Grade 4 Page 2

Make the number 100 less, each time writing the number in expanded form. Ask

students what connections they can make by making their number 100 more or

less? (Synthesis)

Make their number 1,000 more, 1,000 less. Notice if students start over each time

or if they work with the number they already have set up.

Closure: Have the students move the rug in the back of the room, read Anno’s Magic

Seeds by Mitsumasa Anno. (Bodily Kinesthetic) Have the students use their journal

and Place Value Tents to make the numbers. (Intrapersonal) Ask the students to

make predictions for the next page or number of seeds Jack grows. (Analysis) Have

students show the number on their cards, write the expanded notation and prediction

for the next number. Students will learn to double their number and subtract one. Ask

how many seeds Jack will have in 30 years? (Application) 50 years? (Application)

See if the students come up with a pattern.

Adaptations/Enrichment: The lesson has already been modified, but instead of just

using wipe boards, students get the chance to already have the numbers in front of them.

They will use the tents to expand the numbers rather than having to write the number all

the way out. Students may also work with a partner on this activity to help stay

organized since there are a great number of pieces of paper. Enrichments for this lesson

could be that the students could use dice to write expanded numbers or they could give

numbers to the class and have the class use their tents to show the number. The student

could also use their tents to show the number. Then the student can check to make sure

everyone has their number right and show the class his number and the class could

compare.

Self-Reflection: After teaching the lesson, I would self-reflect whether I had an adequate

amount of time to teach the students and whether or not I gave them enough time in

between number to find the tents to construct the number. I would also check to see if

my assessment ideas were valueable in assessing my students.
