Lesson plan 1 Verb Tenses: Past, Present, Future Fourth Grade

Modeling


Hand out the example sheets of paper w/digits to several students


Have those students create a number while standing in front of the room


Call on students to read aloud the displayed number


Give the labels to other students to display correctly


Tel students they will be creating similar numbers in a group


Guided Practice


Assign students to groups of 4-6


Distribute blank sheets of paper/cardboard and markers


Assign one student from each group to be the secretary to list at least 5 numbers the group will display to the class
Instruct the students to create enough digits to display the numbers to the rest of the class


Encourage students to work together and assure everyone in the group is able to read each number and identify the value of each digit (Some may not be able to do this, but the lesson will hopefully help those students understand place value better.)
Encourage students to start out with smaller numbers and progress to larger numbers


Once all groups are ready, create an order for each group to present the numbers in front of the classroom
When a group first displays a number, the class will together read it aloud


As each group presents, the teacher will then choose randomly seated students to label each digit’s place value by holding the label correctly under the number in the display (Do this one digit at a time.)
Continue with the procedure until all groups have had a chance to display their created numbers


Independent Practice


For homework, assign students a place-value worksheet, or have students find large numbers with significance to read aloud to the class the next day, sharing the information about the number

Closing

Discuss the importance of understanding place value, why numbers have different values, etc.
