In this unit, children will continue to practice counting, reading and writing numbers to 120 using 120s charts and number lines. They will explore two-digit numbers as they learn the value of the “tens” place and “ones” place. They will compare two-digit numbers as “greater than”, “less than” and “equal to” using their understandings of tens and ones.
Understanding that each digit in a two-digit number represents a specific value in either the tens place or the ones places is the basis for comparing numbers using the language and symbols: greater than >, less than <, and equal to =.
Understanding Place Value
Children learn that the concepts of tens and ones is the basis of our number system. Composing (building) and decomposing (breaking apart) a group of ten is an essential understanding for future work in addition and subtraction.
Math Slide 100 (Apple)
Math Slide is a multiplayer game helping children understand tens and ones; numbers up to 100. Players learn by sliding tiles into the center to match an answer, equation or image. The player who slides their tiles first wins.
Number Pieces (Apple)
Number Pieces helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building their computation skills with multi-digit numbers. Students use the number pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, regroup, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use iPads.
These are vocabulary words that students will be exposed to throughout the unit.
