4FN2 – Math – Order and Compare Whole Numbers

How do FreeNode lessons work?

FreeNodes are instructor-led schooling lessons with a unique approach, granting you the freedom to independently teach using a personalized lesson plan. This autonomy enables you to tailor your lessons to suit students’ individual needs, learning styles, and interests.

To use a FreeNode, read the provided class outline & follow the formatting provided for each class. Make sure to touch on the Theocratic Connection in each class. Follow the outline closely so it is aligned with our main at-home curriculum.

How Do I Use the FreeNode?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in FN classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only 1-3 minutes of the live class and should not take the place of instructor-led instruction. Videos should be supplementary only.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Class Lesson Plan

Objectives:

Students will learn to order and compare large whole numbers using a place value chart.
Students will understand the concept of place value and how it influences the value of digits in a number.

Materials:

Whiteboard/Chalkboard and markers/chalk
Place value chart (prepared beforehand or drawn on the board)
Visual aids (number charts or flashcards)
Worksheets or practice problems (optional)

Introduction (3 minutes):

Review place value concepts, emphasizing the value of digits in a number based on their position.
Explain that place value charts can be used to organize and compare large whole numbers.

Theocratic Connections:

N/A

Activity 1 – Ordering Whole Numbers (10 minutes):

Provide a set of large whole numbers and write them on the board in random order.
Demonstrate how to use the place value chart to arrange the numbers from least to greatest.
Have students practice ordering numbers in groups or individually.

Activity 2 – Comparing Whole Numbers (15 minutes):

Show two large whole numbers on the board and compare their digits from left to right using the place value chart.
Demonstrate how to determine which number is greater or less than the other based on the most significant digit that differs.
Have students compare various sets of numbers, discussing their findings as a class.

Conclusion (3 minutes):

Review the main points about ordering and comparing large whole numbers using the place value chart.
Emphasize the importance of understanding place value in correctly comparing values.

Assessment:

Informally assess student understanding during class discussions and activities.
Ask students to individually solve a few practice problems involving ordering and comparing large whole numbers.
