It was so nice to meet Anna and Quinn today. Today, we began working on Envision lesson 1-1. This lesson focused on understanding place value. We started our lesson by learning what each place value block looks like and the value that each block represented. Then, Anna and Quinn practiced writing the value of each number in a place value chart. We talked about different ways that we can write a number. I introduced the vocabulary words: standard form, expanded form and word form. Anna and Quinn used their whiteboards (place value charts) to practice writing a given number in each of these forms. They each completed the interactive learning sheet for lesson 1-1. In this exercise they each showed given numbers in the different forms. We played a game called Toss and Talk. This game allowed them to practice converting numbers into different forms. They really seemed to enjoy this game. We finished our class by reviewing tonight’s homework. In the last 3 minutes of class, Anna and Quinn worked on a Mad Minute addition worksheet.
