How to Use This Pack

Seven lesson plans, one for each lesson of a 4th grade unit on place value to 1,000,000, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the seven lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, makers, tools and quiz for the lesson.

In the Classroom

Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 45 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching, 10 minutes together, 15 minutes of practice and an exit ticket at the end. Keep a place value chart on the board all unit. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons, and the plans use other numbers than they do. Lesson 1.7 (numbers to 999,999,999) is taught in 4th grade in some states, such as Texas; skip it if yours teaches the millions period in another grade.

At Home

Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. Big numbers from a map, a sports page or a news story make good practice. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Tips for Success

Read the "Watch for" box before the lesson: it is what to listen for while students work
Have students say the period names (thousand, million) at every comma
Ask "how many times as much?" whenever a digit moves one place left
Sort the exit tickets into got it, almost and not yet to plan the next day
Use the help and challenge ideas for small groups during practice

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

4.NBT.A.1 Know that each place in a whole number is worth ten times the place to its right, so 500 is ten times 50.
4.NBT.A.2 Read and write whole numbers to a million in digits, words and expanded form, and compare them by place value using >, = or <.
