Warm-up

Show 47 with base-ten blocks. How many tens? How many ones? What is the number? Then reverse: I say 63, you show it with blocks. What does the 6 mean? What does the 3 mean? The 6 means 60, not 6. The position changes its value.

Explore

Place value decomposition challenge: each student receives a two-digit number card and must show it three ways: base-ten blocks, place value mat (tens + ones), and a number sentence (67 = 60 + 7). Then decompose in a non-standard way: 67 = 50 + 17 = 40 + 27. Both are still 67. Why?

Consolidate

Practice

Students decompose 8 two-digit numbers into tens and ones, classify 10 numbers as even or odd, and place 5 numbers on a benchmark number line. Exit ticket: show me 73 in two different ways using tens and ones.

Students decompose 8 two-digit numbers into tens and ones, classify 10 numbers as even or odd, and place 5 numbers on a benchmark number line. Exit ticket: show me 73 in two different ways using tens and ones.

TIP  Insist on place value language: not four and three but four tens and three ones. The language forces students to confront the positional structure every time they say a number.
WORKED EXAMPLES
What is the value of the 5 in 57? In 75?

In 57, the 5 is in the tens place: its value is 50 (five tens). In 75, the 5 is in the ones place: its value is 5 (five ones). Same digit, different position, completely different value. This is the essential place value insight.

Is 84 even or odd?

Look at the ones digit: 4. Even ones digits (0,2,4,6,8) make even numbers. 84 is even. Check: 84 cubes can be paired with none left over. Or: 84 = 42 pairs of 2.

MATERIALS
Base-ten blocks (tens rods and ones units)
Place value mats
Hundred charts
Number cards 1-100
Even/odd sorting mats
WATCH FOR
!Students may think the 4 in 49 is worth 4, not 40. Use base-ten blocks and the language four tens consistently.
!Students may confuse even/odd with small/large. Even and odd describe the pairing structure, not the size. 100 is even; 99 is odd.
