Chapter 8Extending Number Sense: Place Value By: Amanda Roberts Jessica Carlson Anna Groves
Mystery Box • Activity • Kids must make sense of numbers and how they are used in and out of school
Hindu-Arabic counting system • 1)Place Value • 2) Base of Ten • 3) Use of Zero • 4) Additive property
Place Value • Place value is one of the key building blocks for the rest of math. • Development of Place value rests on two main ideas: 1)Explicit grouping or trading rules are defined and consistently followed. 2)Position of digit determines number being represented. http://hubpages.com/hub/place-value-games
Place Value • Hindu-Arabic system means that all numbers can be represented by using the numbers 0-9. • Because our system only uses 10 digits place value is a very important concept. • Zero is a place holder and shows the lack of a quantity. • http://www.familylearning.org.uk/place_value_games.html
Modeling • There are two types of materials that are best used to help students develop an understanding of place value. • Ungrouped materials are things such as cubes, beans, straws, or popsicle sticks. They are separate and can be grouped together by the student. • Pregrouped materials are already in sets of 5, 10, or 20 before the student touches them.
Modeling • Place value is proportional or nonproportional • Proportional models are things such as base ten blocks in which the size of ten is ten times the size of one. • Nonproportional models do not have any type of size relationship.
Early Childhood • Counting from11-19 is hard for kids to understand, so skip and teach larger numbers. • 25 vs. 52, what is difference in numbers, kids don’t see difference • What makes up the number 25, what goes into it? Groups of ones, tens, 100’s.
How to teach • To teach start with concrete physical models, move to semi concrete, go to symbolic representations • 100’s chart, used to show kids how to add/subtract, check for understanding cover # • Class Activity
Extending Place Value • Kids lack understanding of relative sizes of numbers greater than one hundred. • To help them understand the size of a number we can break it down for them in multiple ways. • Ex: 123 is 1 (100) 2(10) 3(1) 12(10) 3(1) 123(1)
Children also have a hard time in seeing the difference between numbers with the same digits. • Ex: 2130 vs. 1032 • To help students see the difference in these numbers we can use the front-end or back-end approach. 2130 5412 1030 5489
Counting and Patterns • Skip counting: counting by a number greater than one. • Calculators are helpful to show students patterns and help distinguish place value. • They are also helpful in developing their number sense and helping them understand larger numbers. http://members.learningplanet.com/act/count/free.asp
Counting and Patterns • Counting backwards also helps to develop place value patterns. • To count backwards with students start out by using a number line, then move on to a calculator. • Knowing patterns helps in the understanding of place value.
Reading/Writing with numbers • Reading large numbers is hard for kids. • As a teacher you will probably see things written like this.100 64 for the actual number 164. • Put in place value chart • Ones, tens, hundreds chart • Models are helpful for kids to understand how large numbers work
Reading/ writing numbers cont. • To develop facility in reading large numbers children need careful instruction and practice in actually naming them aloud. 1,000,980
Reads 3 100’s, 8 10’s, and 0 1’s. Realizes there are no 1’s Rereads 38 10’s which is 380
Rounding • Integrates understanding of approximate values with place value and naming numbers • Numbers are rounded to make them easier to use • Rounded numbers make more sense • Attention is given to back end of the digit, not the first number • Be specific in telling students what place value to round to.

Closure • Price tags • If you would round up STAND • If you would round down, TOUCH THE GROUND • If the number stays the same, SIT DOWN $ 9.99
