Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Understanding the Concept of Place Value: Students will learn the basic concept of place value in the decimal system and understand the role of each digit in a number based on its position. They should be able to identify the place value of each digit in a number up to millions.

2. Recognizing the Value of Digits: Students will be able to recognize the value of each digit in a number based on its place in the number. They will understand that as a digit moves to the left, its value increases by a power of 10, and as a digit moves to the right, its value decreases by a power of 10.

3. Interpreting the Place Value of a Digit: Students will be able to interpret the place value of a digit in a number and express the value in different forms such as expanded form, word form, and standard form.

Secondary Objectives:

• Enhancing Math Vocabulary: Students will improve their math vocabulary by learning and using terms related to place value, such as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, and millions.

• Promoting Group Discussion and Interaction: The lesson will encourage students to discuss and interact with each other, promoting a collaborative learning environment.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Knowledge: The teacher begins by reviewing the decimal number system and the value of each digit in a number. This will serve as a foundation for the new topic of place value. The teacher might ask students to recall the value of each digit in a number they have previously learned, such as 456, 789, etc. This will set the stage for the new concept of place value in the base ten system.

2. Problem Situations: The teacher presents two real-life problem situations to the students. The first could be about a candy store where a student wants to buy 3 packs of candies, each containing 100 candies, and the second situation could be about a library where a student wants to borrow 5 books, each with 100 pages.

   • For the first problem, the teacher asks, "If each pack of candy contains 100 candies, how many total candies will the student have?"
   • For the second problem, the teacher asks, "If each book has 100 pages, how many total pages will the student be borrowing?"

   These problems will help students to understand the need for place value and how it can simplify calculations.

3. Contextualizing the Importance of the Topic: The teacher explains that understanding place value is crucial in everyday life. Place value is used in various fields such as banking, stock market, and scientific research. For instance, in banking, understanding place value helps in managing money, calculating interest, and making financial decisions.

4. Engaging Students' Curiosity: To pique students' interest, the teacher shares two fun facts related to the topic.

   • The teacher might say, "Did you know that the concept of place value was first introduced in ancient India and is now used worldwide in various number systems?"
   • Then the teacher could share, "In computer science, understanding place value is essential for coding and developing algorithms. For example, a single byte in a computer has 8 bits, and each bit represents a different place value. Amazing, right?"

5. Introduction of the Topic: Finally, the teacher formally introduces the topic of "Place Value System: Base Ten." The teacher explains that in this system, each digit's value in a number is determined by its position, or place, in the number. This understanding will help students in performing arithmetic operations, reading and writing large numbers, and solving real-life problems.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory Presentation: Place Value (10 - 12 minutes)

   • The teacher uses real-life examples to explain the concept of place value, such as quantities of items in stores, number of students in a school, or populations of cities. This will help students to visualize and understand the concept better.
   • The teacher explains that the decimal number system uses a base of ten, meaning each place value is ten times the value of the place to its right. So, in the number 456, the 4 is in the hundreds place, 5 is in the tens place, and 6 is in the ones place. Each digit's value is then determined by its place in the number.
   • The teacher uses a place value chart (up to millions) to visually represent the concept. The teacher writes a number on the chart and then breaks it down by place value, discussing the value of each digit based on its position.
   • The teacher also explains that numbers less than one have a similar system of place value but with negative powers of ten. For instance, in the number 0.05, the 5 is in the hundredths place, and each digit's value is determined by its place in the number.
   • The teacher asks students to write a few numbers and identify the place value of each digit.

2. Representation of Place Value in Different Forms (5 - 7 minutes)

   • The teacher introduces the expanded form, word form, and standard form of numbers. The expanded form is a way of writing a number as the sum of the values of each digit. The standard form is the usual way of writing a number. The word form is writing the numbers in words.
   • The teacher demonstrates how to convert a number from standard form to expanded form and word form, and vice versa, using the place value system. The teacher writes a number in standard form and then converts it to expanded and word form, discussing the value of each digit in the different forms.
   • The teacher then writes a number in word form and asks students to write it in standard form and expanded form. This activity reinforces students' understanding of the place value system.
   • The teacher emphasizes that understanding the place value system enables them to express numbers in different forms, which is important in written and oral communication and for solving mathematical problems.

3. Comparing and Ordering Numbers (5 - 7 minutes)

   • The teacher moves on to the next step: comparing and ordering numbers using the place value system. The teacher writes several numbers on the board and asks students to identify which number is greater than, less than, or equal to another number.
   • The teacher explains that the comparison is done by comparing the digits in each number based on their place value. The teacher provides examples and guides students through the process, emphasizing how the place value of each digit is critical in determining the number's value.
   • The teacher encourages students to practice this skill, as it is vital for understanding mathematical concepts and solving mathematical problems.

This comprehensive theory presentation is followed by practice exercises to reinforce the concepts learned. The teacher ensures that students understand each step before progressing to the next one. The development stage of the lesson encourages active participation and engagement from the students, promoting a deeper understanding of the place value system in the base ten.
