Head Start Maths - Sentence Stems (Place Value)

(0)
Practice key vocabulary using these 100 Sentence Stems. Each card contains : A Sentence Stem with (Number) or (Item) in brackets. An example using the Sentence Stem. A blank Sentence Stem without any (Number) or (Item) in brackets for the student to write their own sentence. Topics Include: Place Value (General) Place Value Above 10 Cardinality and Comparison Roman Numerals Occasionally options are provided for students to use, such as: ___ is more / less than ___. These cards could be laminated and grouped together and used within lessons as a manipulative. Students should be encouraged to say / write each sentence. Ideas for use: Share the cards amongst small groups of students. Students can each write their own sentences based on the examples and vocabulary highlighted in each Sentence Stem. Switch the cards between groups. Hang some examples around the room. Students can go up to a card and write their own answer in their books (this must be a complete sentence). Use other resources such as Head Start Maths - Counting and Cardinality Slideshow to provide a context to the Sentence Stems. Get students to pick a sentence stem at random and get the whole class to write the sentence stem on a mini whiteboard and then hold up their answers. Students can discuss these with each other as a whole class activity. Create a display with each Sentence Stem card. Laminate each card and place some whiteboard pens near the display board for students to fill in values. Students can use these to ask each other questions. Hand each student a card. Students ask each other questions within pairs. Once they have answered each other correctly, switch cards and ask another student in the class. If you have any more ideas on how to use these in lessons, please let me (and others) know by leaving a comment!

This activity can be used to practice a variety of different objectives: 3C1: Add and subtract numbers mentally, including: A three-digit number and ones A three-digit number and tens A tree-digit number and hundreds 3C6: Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables. 4C6a: Recall Multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12. 5C1: Add and Subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers. 5C6a: Multiply and divide numbers mentally drawing upon known facts. 6C6: Perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers. Description of Activity: Place three piles of cards at the front on the room. The first pile contains two sets of 0-9 digit cards, the second pile contains the four operations (+×-÷), and the third pile contains one set of 0-9 digit cards. Call up three students. The first student takes one digit card at random from the pile in front of them. The second person chooses an operation from the set of 4, and the third student picks one 0-9 digit card from their pile. The rest of the class calculate the value mentally and write down their answer on a mini whiteboard. After the teacher holds up the equals button, students hold up their answers. Lots of differentiation strategies and Hints and tips provided.

Students have to think about dividing by other numbers than 2, but the difficulty lies within the primes of 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
