| + | '''I Making hundreds, tens and ones (1 period)''' |
| + | *Print 32 squares of this. |
| + | *Distribute into 8 groups of 4 children each. |
| + | *Each group will get 4 squares. |
| + | *The value of 4 squares will be 4x100 = 400 |
| + | *Each group must cut the solid lines; 1 square will have 10 strips. These are tens. So each square has 10 “tens” (They can either *cut, or work without cutting – up to the children) |
| + | *Each one of those tens will have 10 ones. |
| + | *Let the children make numbers and write them down |
| + | *Ask them what is the largest number each group can make? 400 is the answer – but check if children understand this. |
| + | |
| + | '''II. Abstraction from here (1 period)''' |
| + | Now let us assume children have 9 such squares.<br> |
| + | In each group, how many hundreds are possible ? – 9 <br> |
| + | In each group, how many tens are there ? – 9 x 10 = 90<br> |
| + | In each group, how many tens are there ? – 90 x 10 = 900<br> |
| + | |
| + | '''1-9 ones are possible; 10 ones means one ten. Ten ones is the same as one ten'''<br> |
| + | '''1-9 tens are possible; 10 tens means one hundred. Ten tens is the same as one hundred'''.<br> |
| + | '''What happens when we have 10 hundreds? What is it the same as?'''<br> |
| + | |
| + | '''What is the importance of ten? We count in groups of tens'''<br> |
| + | |
| + | 9+1= 10 = 10 x 1 |
| + | 99 + 1 = 100 = 10 x 10 |
| + | 999 + 1 = 1000 = 10 x 100 |
| + | '''Greatest 1-digit number + 1 = Smallest 2-digit number''' <br> |
| + | '''Greatest 2-digit number + 1 = Smallest 3-digit number''' <br> |
| + | '''Greatest 3-digit number + 1 = Smallest 4-digit number''' <br> |
| + | '''Following the pattern, we can expect that, on adding 1 to the greatest 4-digit number''' <br> |
| + | '''(9999 – nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine) we get the smallest 5-digit number''' <br> |
| + | '''(9999 + 1 = 10,000 or ten thousand). Further we can expect that 10 x 1000 = 10,000 i.e.''' <br> |
| + | '''9999 + 1 = 10,000 = 10 x 1000.''' <br> |
| + | '''Do this only when children are confident – this is for advanced students'''<br> |
| + | |
| + | '''Write on the board like this:''' |
