comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a
symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
CCSS-MP1 Make Sense of Problems and Preserve in Solving them
Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different
method, and they continually ask themselves, Does this make sense?
They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and
identify correspondences between different approaches.
CCSS-MP5 Use Appropriate Tools Strategically:
Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a
mathematical problem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models,
ruler, protractor, calculator, spreadsheet and computer.
They detect possible errors by strategically using estimation and other mathematical
knowledge.

BIG IDEA #2 THE BASE TEN NUMERATION SYSTEM
The base ten numeration system is a scheme for recording numbers using digits 0-9,
groups of ten, and place value.
Calendar:
For students be successful, students need to able to produce one and two-digit
numbers in multiple ways. They also should be able to count and compare base ten
blocks and skip count by 5s and 10s. In addition, they will need to have the ability to
can produce one, two and three digit numbers in multiple ways. Furthermore they need
to able to produce one, two and three digit numbers in multiple ways and be able to use
the tens blocks in various situations.
Enduring Understanding:
In this lesson, students will further develop their understanding of place value, bridging,
base ten blocks and be able to identify what each numeral of a three digit number
stands for.
The purpose to using hundreds, tens and ones blocks, place value charts to
solve addition and subtraction problems with bridging, is to build on their prior
knowledge. I want the students to be able to mentally add and subtract problems
without having to write it down or use manipulatives. I find the base ten blocks to be a
rather helpful strategy to use, especially when you are adding three digit numbers. I
believe that will be a great tool for visual learners, because they will be able to
physically see the change that is happening when adding or subtracting.
Learning Objectives:
Students will
Demonstrate how to use a place value chart model to find differences.
Collaborate and explain to their peers how a number line works and how it can help in
math.
Extend their skip by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
Consistently add and subtract three digit numbers using the bridging strategy.
Categorize numbers into proper place values.
Use base ten blocks to add and subtract three digit numbers.
Academic Language:
Vocabulary
Skip-Counting - We will use skip counting 5, 10s and 100s using our tens blocks.
Subtraction - I will guide the students through a step by step process when subtracting
one and two digit numbers from three digit numbers.
Addition - I will guide the students through a step by step process when adding one
and two digit numbers from three digit numbers.
Bridging - I will demonstrate to the students what bridging is and how to use it when
subtracting or adding numbers.
I plan to help the students understand, develop and use the vocabulary listed, by giving
them various math problems to solve. For example I will test their knowledge of place
value, by asking them questions such as where is the ones, tens, and hundreds
place. In addition, I will display various addition and subtraction problems to allow
students the chance to familiarize themselves with use of base ten blocks, place value
and bridging. This will allow the students to become familiar with working with three-digit
number problems and have a deeper understanding of place value and bridging.
Component 4:
Formative Assessments:
I will observe the students during lesson by checking for different strategies, and
collaboration amongst other classmates. Then I will openly ask students to come up to
the board and share their strategy with the rest of the class, which will open the floor to
discussion. Lastly, I will have a full class discussion and have specific questions
prepared to ask them what they have learned. I will be instructing the students to cross
their arms when they know, during the moments they are using their brains to mentally
solve a problem. This will give me a clear visual on who understand the material and
who still needs help. In addition, I will ask them ask questions such as where is my
nearest tens place to check that they understand how to add using the bridging
strategy.
Summative Assessments:
I will have the students use base ten blocks, number lines and any other strategy
that they might come up with on their own to display their thinking. This will allow me to
determine what level of comprehension each student is at. I will also have a sheet with
each of the students names and check off the ones who still need my assistance. I will
give each of them a word problem that will test their ability to use what they have
learned to solve the problem. This will be considered as their exit pass for the lesson.

# Procedure
minutes
5 Introduction
First I will have the students sit on the floor for the math lesson
Bring your whiteboards and pens to floor
Today we will be learning the place values of three digit numbers and how to add them
I will be looking for active listeners, 100 % participation and synergizers.
I will share the big idea of place value, what it is, how it is useful and what it looks like.
The purpose of place value to help us understand the meaning of a number.
I will write a two digit number on the board and ask them what digit is in the ones
place?.
Say give me a thumbs up next to your chest like me when you know.
Say now show me with your fingers in 3, 2, 1..
Ask what digit is in the tens place?.
Say give me a thumbs up next to your chest like me when you know.
Say now show me with your fingers in 3, 2, 1..
Then the students will turn to their partner and tell them how they know and what helped
them to figure it out.
Students will turn back to me and share out with the class.
Place Value Review:
15
Prior to introducing the worksheet I will write a two digit-number on the board and ask
the students where is the tens place and where is the ones place, label them on your
board for me.
Say 1, 2, 3, show me.
I will be looking around to check and see that the students have a clear understanding
of place values with two digit numbers.
Then I will hand each of them a three digit place value worksheet.
Then I will pass out tens block manipulatives for a more hands on type of approach.
I will review and explain the labels for each place value using the tens block
manipulatives What does this one-block represent?
What does this rod represent?
How many ones does it take to make a ten?
What does this flat surface represent?
How many tens does it take to make a hundred?
I will draw the place value chart worksheet on the board and explain how to use it.
Then demonstrate a step by step process of how to use the place value chart properly.
Later the students will do a problem on their own using the number I have written on the
board.
What number is in the hundreds place
What number is in the tens place.
What number is in the ones place.
Knee to knee, eye to eye, turn to your partner and tell them how you know.
Each student will use the tens blocks in the correct places to display the correct number.
Give me a thumbs when you got it.
Now I want you to turn your partner and tell them how you got your answer and what
helped you.
Then I will have the students turn back and share out openly.
15 Adding Three-digit number introduction
I will continue to use the place value chart for easier addition.
I will start off this part of the lesson by asking the students How can base ten blocks
helps us solve addition problems?.
As we go along I will break up the question into simpler questions for easier
comprehension.
I will go through a step by step process on how we can use the place value chart to add
three digit numbers.
First I will model a three-digit number addition problem using the base ten blocks
506+312.
Step by step we will solve the problem as a class.
What is 6+2?
1, 2, 3 tell me.
What is 1+0
1, 2, 3 tell me.
What is 5+3?
1, 2, 3 tell me.
I want everyone to take a look at this number and cross your arms, when you think you
know how to pronounce it.
I will pause a few times and have the students turn to their partner and explain their
reasoning and thinking.
Students will follow along using their whiteboards and model the same steps and
procedures.
I will observe their work and use synergizing language to questions for students to
answer in order to improve their solutions.
I will continue write three-digit addition problems on the board for them to solve using
their base ten blocks.
When you feel like you have the answer, cross your arms like this.
Now I want you to, knee to knee, eye to eye, turn to your partner and tell them how you
got your answer..
I will be walking around to listen in on conversations and check to see if they are
collaborating and comparing strategies.
I will walk around assist my ELL, SPED and struggling students while the rest of the
class is working.
I will break up the process of solving into smaller and simpler steps.
Ask questions and give simpler directions such as:
What place do we add first?
We have more than ten ones, what can we trade it for?
We have more than ten tens. what can we trade it for?
How many hundreds do we have now?
How many tens do we have?
How many ones do we have?
5 Closure
Students will turn to their partner and tell them what they learned today.
I will ask students to share out loud.
After they are done sharing, I will ask if anyone would like to synergize, opening the floor
to discussion.
Then I will hand out an exit pass to each student, which allow them to show me that they
have a clear understanding of the base ten numeration system and that they know how
to effectively use the base ten blocks, in order to add three-digit numbers and explain
the values of three-digit numbers.
Differentiation
Adaptations to instructional strategies, the learning environment, content, and/or assessments to meet the needs of
students who require further support (e.g., ELL/MLL, struggling, accelerated, 50/IEP, etc.)
ELL & SPED: I will use visuals and modeling, such as place value charts and tens blocks and frequent check-ins.
Struggling: I have a few students who need support. I will point and define any vocabulary words that are unknown
to them during the lesson.
Day 3
Start the lesson by reviewing what was learned in the previous lesson about place value.
Have students take out their place value charts and I will pass out the hundreds, tens and ones blocks.
Project the place value chart on the board.
Use magnet hundreds, tens and ones to attach to the board, in order to check if students remember how
to use them properly.
I will display two and 3 digit addition problems using the powerpoint I have prepared.
678 + 11 = __, display this number on your place value charts by drawing hundreds, tens and ones on
you board.
1, 2, 3 show me.
561 + 28 = __, use hundreds, tens and ones to solve, ready, go.
1, 2, 3 show me.
934 + 62 = __, use hundreds, tens and ones to solve, ready, go..
Okay now that I can see you remember how to add two and three digit numbers using hundreds, tens,
ones and your place value chart properly, let's try adding three digit numbers only
Introduce adding three-digit numbers using the place value chart.
I will use the I do, we do, you do strategy with the students in order to guide them through the lesson, as
well as assess them on well they can comprehend the lesson.

I will ask students to share out loud.
After they are done sharing, I will ask them to show me with their fingers how they feel about the
lesson.
This concludes our lesson for today, please turn your attention back to Mrs. Mathias, in 3, 2, and 1.

Component 8: Commentary
How do key learning tasks in your unit plan build on each other to support
student procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning,
positive dispositions toward mathematics, and the development of related
academic language? Reference the instructional materials you have included, as
needed.
On day 1, prior to teaching the lesson, I will review the skip counting strategy, for
example counting by 5s and 10s. Then I will expand on their knowledge by introducing
the skip counting by 100s method. I will have the students use base ten blocks, in order
to display their skip counting. This will allow them to have a clear visual and allow to see
number of hundreds change as they count higher or lower, leaving little room for error.
After the first day, we will continue to use the hundreds, tens and ones blocks
manipulatives gain an experience and a greater understanding of how to use them
effectively.
The next lesson, that I will introduce to them, will be how to add and subtract
using the place value chart. This lesson will allow the students to better familiarize
themselves with hundreds, tens and one blocks strategy. I will teach them importance of
placing the base ten blocks in the correct place when combining it with the place value
chart. Furthermore, I will spend time explaining and demonstrating why it is essential to
place them in the correct place, being it will the blocks a new meaning if they are placed
in different values. For example, if I place the hundreds block into the ones place, it will
be known as a hundred ones, instead a single hundreds block.
The last two days of the math unit, I will introduce the bridging strategy when
adding or subtracting, using place value and base ten blocks. Students will learn to
subtract and add to the nearest tens first to allow for easier problem solving. This will be
another chance for students to spend time familiarizing themselves hundreds, tens,
ones blocks and place value. In conclusion, this will prove to be a great addition to their
tool bag of strategies.
Describe specific strategies that you will use to build student learning across the
unit plan.
In math, there are an unlimited amount of strategies that a teacher or student could
come up with and use to solve mathematical problems. In this unit plan I have chosen to
introduce four strategies to my students, base ten blocks, place value, bridging and skip
counting. This will help broaden their thinking and allow them see addition and
subtraction problems from a different point of view. In addition, it will give them a deep
understanding of why and how number are
Discuss how you will draw out and address anticipated misconceptions and
common errors through your unit plan.
Explain how the collection of assessments (both formative and summative) from
your plan allows you to evaluate your students learning of specific student
standards/objectives and provide feedback to students on their learning. Be
specific about the connections between the assessment, the type of data you
hope to attain, and what the data can tell you about student learning.
Formative Assessment
As a formative assessment, during the lesson I will check in with various students
to see if they are able to use the strategies we have been learning and if they can
explain their answers. In addition, I will have my students use their whiteboards to show
their work, which will give me an idea of who understands the lesson and who still
needs my assistance. Lastly, I will have the students use base ten blocks, which will
give them the opportunity to physically show their subtraction and addition.
Summative Assessment:
After each lesson, I will hand out a word problem, that I have created, based on the
topic of the lesson. They will use any of the strategies that we have focused during the
lesson, in order to demonstrate that they have a clear understanding of the lesson. This
will allow me to determine what level of comprehension each student is at. The word
problem will be used as their exit pass for the lesson.
