Subject: Math 2
Learning Objectives:
Accurately count the numbers of objects in each group (“ones”, “tens”, and
“hundreds”)
Materials:
Large paper
Worksheets
Content:
The lesson will begin with a brief introduction to the terms “ones”, “tens”,
and “hundreds”. The teacher will use counting blocks to demonstrate how to
group objects into these categories. For example, the teacher can show 5
blocks as “5 ones”, 2 bundles of 10 sticks as “2 tens”, and 1 bundle of 100
sticks as “1 hundred”.
Students will then engage in a hands-on activity where they will use the
materials provided to create their own groups of ones, tens, and hundreds.
They will work in pairs to count and categorize their objects, fostering
cooperative learning and peer interaction.
Instructional Activities:
The teacher will introduce the concept of place value using visual aids and
counting blocks.
Students will work in pairs to group objects into ones, tens, and hundreds
using the provided materials.
Teacher’s Question: “Can you show me how many ones you have?”
Distribute worksheets where students will identify and write the number of
objects in each group.
Closure (5 minutes):
Review the key concepts and allow students to share their findings with the
class.
Teacher’s Question: “What did you learn about ones, tens, and hundreds
today?”
Possible Student Response: “I learned how to group objects into ones, tens,
and hundreds!”
