Instructional Strategies & Learning Tasks

Manipulative:

1. Base 10 materials (concrete and block line master copies)

2. Place Value Charts

3. Number cards (0-9)

Instructional Strategies

• Model numbers with base 10 materials and place value models until students demonstrate comprehension of place value and iterations of 10 throughout their problem solving.
• Model 1 000 000 concrete and pictorial materials in a variety of ways.
• Use money as a model: How could you spend $1 000 000?

Learning Tasks:

Task 1

Spending Spree: If you had to spend one million dollars, how would you do it? Keep a running tally of your spending spree. How close to one million dollars can you get? Provide opportunities for students to say large numbers and count large numbers found in the media and around the community. Find ways to represent the large numbers and one million dollars in a variety of ways.

Task 2

Place Value Shuffle: Use number cards 0-9. Shuffle the cards and have each student select six. Students make the greatest (or least) possible number. Determine who has the greatest (or least) number of all. Ask: how far from the greatest (least) number are you? How can you rearrange the cards to make a greater (lesser) number? What digits would you want in order to have the greatest difference between the greatest and the least number? Which numbers are closest to 1 000 000? Which numbers are farthest from 1 000 000? How far? How close?

Assessment

Task 1

Ask students to say the number sequence from any two given numbers between 500 000 and 1 000 000. Listen 10 for accuracy and fluency.

Task 2

Ask students to model any two given numbers in the hundred thousand decade with base 10 material or pictorial representations on the place value chart. Ask students to count the numbers in between and model with the blocks if necessary.
