Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 4
Domain-Subdomain: Number and Operations in Base Ten
Cluster: Level 1: Recall
Cluster: Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers. (Major Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Lesson Plans

10X Bigger!:

In this lesson students will move from constructing concrete models of what happens to a number when you multiply the number by 10 into drawing their own pictorial representations of the same process with numbers up to 1,000. They will develop an understanding of the rule 'a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right' and apply this rule to a variety of situations.

Type: Lesson Plan

What's My Value?:

This lesson will allow students to deepen their knowledge in place value. The teacher will use modeling, guided math groups, and independent practice to help students understand that the digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. Students will use base 10 blocks to build numbers and make general observations about the values of numbers. Students will also draw and label models, to make understanding concrete. In groups of 4-5, students will work together and discuss (using discussion questions) to deepen their knowledge on the topic.
