 * Put up 4 digit numbers and have everyone practice reading the numbers. (5 digit is the next topic so concentrate on 4 digits)
 * Next give them ind. white boards and give them a 4 digit number to write. I had one student come up and do it on my white board. They all wanted to do that. Practice that for a while.
 * Have them make cards for "digit draw" Follow the directions to set up and play this. I had them keep score between partners on a little white board.
 * Gave assessing the lesson.
 * I put up a place value chart (labeled with 1's, 10's, 100's, 1,000's, 10,000's) I had them help tell me what each column was and of course they wanted to keep going to a million, which I did but then erased so they would only see to the 10,000's.
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I took 1 small place value cube and taped it to the board in the 1's column. Then I took 1 (10) stick and showed them that that stick was 10 - 1cubes and taped that under the 10's column. I took the flat and questioned them about that then taped that on the board. As I went, I wrote off to the side 1 x 10 = 10 10x 10 = 100 etc. (Can use the charts shown in key lesson or modify them to your class) Then I got to the cube that is 1000 of those 1 cubes. They knew how big that was exactly. They were just interested in how I was going to stick the 3-D cube on the board. I rolled pieces of tape and put a couple of magnets underneath and it stayed there. They were then able to see that 10 of those cubes were 10,000.
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I used several other items to help them visualize 10,000. I used a penney. I asked them to show me with their fingers what a stack of 10 pennies would be. I then measured a stack of 10 pennies and showed the height on the board. I pointed to the 100's column. I asked them to show with their fingers how tall a stack of 100 pennies would be. We continued until we could visually estimate 10,000. Then I started with math books. I asked for 10 math books and we saw what 10 would be, then a hundred, etc.
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Did not give assessing the lesson.
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Key lesson. I showed them how a digit explander worked by showing overhead of page 17. I didn't have that much success last year with them making their own. I guess that is a good hands on activity- but I didn't. (That could possibly be done with the lower kids and Kathryn or Annette) On page 17 - they had their discussion books and we went slowly over each one, noticing the places, everyone reading the numbers out loud together. The 3rd question they all did at their tables then we shared some.
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Page 18. Explain about how to read this type of thermometer, then they worked in partners to complete the page.

(**THERE ARE NO COMPASSES)** I think this lesson would be more fun outside. Have 8 kids mark white boards with directions. The rest will just be part of the circle. Do these lessons using different kids so they can move their bodies with everyone answering your question. Maybe everyone could take a white board outside and could write 1/4, 1/2 turn in answer to questions. If not outside, then on the stage in the aud. I just think it will be fun for them to be in a different place to do this.
