Write Me Two (2) Ways

  Designed by: Andress Carter-Sims , Burton Pack Elementary

1) Core Curriculum Objective(s):   Read and write whole numbers in expanded form, standard form, and words (through billions).  (5NR3-1 )

Grade Level: Five      Subject: Math

2) Overview:  This lesson 5NR3-1 and lesson 5NR2-1 may be integrated together or they may be taught one after the other. This lesson will begin with guided instruction from the teacher.  Students will use large number cards to make numbers in standard form, as classmates read and assist the teacher with writing the numbers in word form on the board.  Next the teacher will place students into small groups.  During the small group activities a student will share a number of their choice as the small groups write the number in standard and word form.  Finally, an independent assessment developed by the teacher will be given.

3) Focus Essential Question: How is a number written in standard and word form?  How do you read a number in standard form?

4) Time Frame: Four forty-five minute class periods

5) Resource Materials:

Dark colored marker

15 pieces of 8x10 Construction Paper

Laminating Machine

Dry erase board, marker and eraser for each group (optional)

Large chart paper and pencil for each group 

6) Culminating Assessment:

During the culminating assessment the students will complete the “Write Me Two Ways” Assessment Sheet.  The sheet is to be completed independently and scored using the scoring criteria.  The point value is beside each number.  That is the maximum amount of points they may receive for each correct answer. With errors such as leaving out commas or misspelling a word the teacher may decide if they should receive one or two points.  Students should only receive full correct (3points) if the answer is completely correct.

7) Instructional Activities:

Activity One:

This lesson is introduced after students have been exposed to place value and periods. Prior to activity one the teacher will need to prepare twelve number and three comma cards.  The objective states to go to the billions period, as a result some numbers on your number cards will be repeated because you only use the digits 0-9.  Three comma cards are used because the billions period must be addressed.

Number cards and comma cards can be made by using 8x10 pieces of light colored construction paper.  Using a dark marker twelve of the papers will have a number from 0 to 9 on it. (Some numbers will be repeated so that you will have twelve number cards.)  The other three will have commas on them.  The numbers and commas should be written very large so that when students stand in front of the class others will be able to see the numbers.  The cards may be laminated for durability.

Six students will be given a number and one student a comma card.  They will be asked to go to the front of the class and make a number.  Commas must be in the correct place.  The teacher will assist when necessary. After students stand as they wish to create a number, they must hold the card in front of their chest so that other members of the class may see the numbers.  The students must stand close together while they hold the numbers to make it easier for reading. 

The teacher will ask a student to read the number.  As the student reads the number the teacher will point to each digit as the number is read.  The teacher should also point to the commas as their name is said. 

Once the student has read the name the teacher will state to the students that she is now going to write the number on the board in word form.  The teacher will mention the importance of hyphens and commas when writing a number in word form. The teacher will also remind the students that the standard form is just using the numbers that they see on the number cards.

The teacher will then have those same students to trade places and create a number of their choice.  The comma will not move because there are only six numbers used.  Now the teacher will ask another student to read the number that has been created.  As the student reads the number, the teacher will point to each number and comma as the names are being read.  Next the teacher will ask another student to tell her what to write as she places the word form on the board.  Where necessary the teacher will assist with placing the word form on the board.

The teacher will continue to have these students switch and make another number several times. As they switch a student will read the number and another will help the teacher to write the word form on the board.

The teacher should now collect the cards from those students in the front of the class.

Activity Two:

The teacher will now place students in small groups of three.  Each group will need a dry erase board, marker, and eraser (optional).  Each group may use large chart paper and a pencil to do activity two.

The teacher will now choose a student to say a whole number that has six digits.  The student should repeat the number three times very slowly.  The groups should be instructed to write the number that was said in standard form and then write the same number in word form.  The small groups may discuss as they write the number in standard and word form.  The small groups should also take turns writing.  The groups may decide in which order they will go.  As the students come up with their answer the teacher should monitor and assist.

After each group has written their answers the teacher should call on one person from a group to the board.  The person should write the number on the board in standard and word form. Once the teacher agrees the answer is correct the groups should check their work and discuss any errors.

The process of having a student to say a number with six digits while the groups write the number in standard and word form should occur several times.  A student from any group should also come to the board to write the number in standard and word form.  Once that is completed the teacher should again check to see if the answer is correct.  The small groups should also repeat the process of checking and discussing their answers.

Once the teacher fills that six digits have been mastered as best as possible the teacher should move on to numbers with twelve digits.

 

Activity Three:

A student from a group should now be asked to share with the class a twelve-digit number.  The student may write the number on the chart paper or dry erase board before sharing it with the class.  The same process should again follow.

The student will need to say the number three times very slowly as the small groups write the number in standard form.  After each group has written the number in standard form they should write the number in word form.  The small groups should be allowed to discuss as they create the numbers in standard and word form.

After each group is finished a student should be selected to write the standard and word form on the board.  Small groups should correct and check their work. 

This process should occur several times until the teacher feels that the objective has been mastered as best as possible.

 

Activity Four:

Students will be assessed independently using the “Write Me Two Ways” assessment sheet and scoring criteria provided.
