Base+Ten+Ideas

Base Ten Lessons: 1. Introducing Base Ten Pieces This could be used to introduce base ten pieces as well...or to re-teach to those who didn't get it the first day. Or as review as you start it another day. 2. Introduce the students to "Fuel the Brain" game online. []

After students understand the game, show them a number in base ten form and then have them write that number on a post-it as their exit slip.

3. Model and set expectations for using base ten blocks. Model using the document camera how to roll and record the number as a 2 digit #. Then students will show the number in base ten form. []

Smartboard Base Ten pieces students can manipulate to show a number in base ten form.

4. Make my number. Using a smartboard game the computer gives a number and students use base ten pieces to make that number.

I am planning on playing with the students. They will have blocks at their desks and they will all make it and then call one student up to show the class how they made the number. Ask students if anyone made it a different way. Take anecdotal notes as you walk around as to who can make the number in base ten form with the manipulatives.

If we made one class set and shared or if someone already has a set we could pass these around.
