The Value of Place Value (Continued)
Collecting and Organizing Data
Have students use their base-ten materials and TI-10s
to continue exploring other numbers and identifying
how many units, tens, hundreds, and thousands
those numbers contain. Older students can find how
many tenths and hundredths are in the numbers.
Encourage exploration with questions such as:
•
How many hundreds are in 120? 2478? 3056?
•
How many tens are in 120? 2478? 3056?
•
How many units (ones) are in 120? 2478?
3056?
•
What numbers can you find that have 12 units?
12 tens? 12 hundreds?
•
What numbers can you find that have 60 units?
60 tens? 60 hundreds?
Analyzing Data and Drawing Conclusions
Have students use the tables on The Value of Place
Value Student Activity pages to record their findings
and identify the patterns they see. To help them
focus on the patterns, ask questions such as:
•
How does the number of tens in 1314 compare
to the number 1314? How about 567? 2457?
4089, etc.?
If you cover the digit in the units place, you see
how many tens are in a number.
•
How does the number of hundreds in 1314
compare to the number 1314? How about 567?
in 2457? in 4089, etc.?
If you cover the digits to the right of the
hundreds place, you see how many hundreds are
in a number.
•
How does the display on the TI-10 compare to
what you can do with the base-ten materials?
If the TI-10 displays 31_, for 316, you should be
able to make 31 tens rods out of 316 units.
³In ‹(Problem Solving) MAN
(manual) mode, students can
use the 11 –. Place Value
feature to test their
conjectures. For example, if
they think 1602 has 160
hundreds, they enter 1602,
press Œ‘, and see 16êê.
They can then use base-ten
materials to see why there
are only 16 hundreds in 1602.
Note: Students can use the
– 1 –. place value feature to
find what digit is in the
hundreds place. They enter
1602, press Œ‘, and see
ê6êê. This result means that
6
is the digit in the hundreds
place.
