During the sixty-minute lesson, the students will use numbered disks (manipulative) and a place value chart to exchange smaller units for a larger unit. This lesson teaches students to represent a number with the smallest number of units possible. This lesson builds on the student’s prior knowledge of the base ten strategy, and helps them make connections between the individual units (ones, tens, and hundreds). Students can also use their prior knowledge of expanded form (127 = 100 + 20 + 7) to categorize the correct number of units into the place value chart. This lesson implements the use of the benchmark strategy, as a scaffold for students to find an even ten or an even hundred. The goal of this lesson is for students to apply their knowledge of place value (ten ones, makes a ten & ten tens, makes a hundred) to represent three digit numbers using the smallest number of units possible. …show more content…
This lesson emphasizes exchanging units, which is a skill that will be used and built on in later modules. This lesson aligns with second grade math state standards and the Eureka math curriculum.

100 can be thought of as a bundle (group) of 10 tens called a “hundred”;

the hundreds digit in a three-digit number represents the number of hundreds, the tens digit represents the number of tens, and the ones digit represents the number of ones;

The student will be able to represent a three-digit number using place value
