Putting together a
math intervention program,
can be similar to

Place Value
Grade 5, Module 1, Lesson 1
Do Now
Jay has 56 soccer balls. He gave away 25 of the soccer
balls to Ashley. How many soccer balls does he have left?
Objective/Purpose
 The purpose of the lesson is to reason concretely and
pictorially using place value understanding to relate
adjacent base ten units from millions to thousandths.
How many tens are in…
 10 ones = _____ ten
 10 ones = 1 ten
 20 ones = _____ tens
 20 ones = 2 tens.
 30 ones = ____ tens
 3 tens.
Ready to Learn!
 Now we are going to get out white boards to practice
more place value.
 Who remembers expectations for white boards?
 You only write on the white side of the white board with
your white board marker.
 White board needs to stay flat on your desk unless you
are asked to hold it up.
 Only math is to be written on the white board.
 If your marker runs out, cap it and hold in the air.
Copy this chart down on your
white board

There are 3 tens and how many ones?
Zero ones.
3 tens = ________. Fill in the blank.

Application Problem
 Farmer Jim keeps 12 hens in every
coop. If Farmer Jim has 20 coops, how
many hens does he have in all? If every
hen lays 9 eggs on Monday, how many
eggs will Farmer Jim collect on
Monday? Explain your reasoning using
words, numbers, or pictures.

 Each of you will be given a place value chart and we
will now do some problems together to better
understand place value!

value chart.
4 tenths × 10 = 40 tenths, which is the same as 4 wholes.
 4 ones is 10 times as large as 4 tenths.
On your place value chart, use arrows to show how the
value of the digits has changed. (On place value chart,
draw an arrow to indicate the shift of the digit to the left,
write × 10 near the arrow.)
Why does the digit move one place to the left?
Because it is 10 times as large, it has to be bundled for the
next larger unit.

Work with your partner to find the value of 10 times 0.004. Show your
result at the bottom of your place value chart.

hundredths.  4 hundredths is 10 times as large as 4 thousandths.

 Turn and talk with a partner: comparing the products
you get.
Independent Practice
 Complete the problem set independently.
 Expectations:
 Voice level 0
 Stay in your seat
 Only working on your own paper and the problem set.
Discussion
 Compare the solutions you found when multiplying by
10 and dividing by 10 (3.452 × 10 and 345 ÷ 10). How
do the solutions of these two expressions relate to the
value of the original quantity? How do they relate to
each other?
 What do you notice about the number of zeros in your
products when multiplying by 10, 100, and 1,000
relative to the number of places the digits shift on the
place value chart? What patterns do you notice?
Discussion
 What is the same and what is different about the
products for Problems 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c)?
 When solving Problem 2(c), many of you noticed the
use of our new place value. (Lead brief class
discussion to reinforce what value this place
represents. Reiterate the symmetry of the places on
either side of the ones place and the size of
thousandths relative to other place values like tenths
and ones.)
