Read, Write, Order And Compare Numbers, Including Large Numbers Lesson Plan for 7th Grade Example Students

Topic: Read, write, order and compare numbers, including large numbers

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to read, write, order and compare numbers, including large numbers.

Materials

• Large numbers card set (optional)
• Writing paper
• Pencils

Warm-up

• Ask students if they have ever seen or heard of large numbers before.
• Ask them to share any experiences or examples they have of large numbers.
• Write some examples of large numbers on the board and ask students to explain what they mean.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of large numbers and their significance in the world today.
• Explain that large numbers are used to describe very large quantities, such as the number of people in a city or the number of stars in the galaxy.
• Discuss the different ways of writing large numbers, including decimal, fractional, and exponential notation.
• Show examples of how to read and write large numbers using decimal, fractional, and exponential notation.
• Introduce the concept of ordering and comparing numbers, and explain the importance of doing so in math and everyday life.
• Provide examples of how to order and compare large numbers using the comparison symbols <, >, and =.

Guided Practice

• Provide students with a worksheet containing large numbers written in decimal, fractional, and exponential notation.
• Have students read and write the numbers using all three notations, and check for accuracy.
• Have students order and compare the numbers using the comparison symbols <, >, and =.
• Monitor students as they work and provide assistance as needed.

Independent Practice

• Have students work in pairs to create a chart containing 10 large numbers written in decimal, fractional, and exponential notation.
• Students should label the columns with the appropriate notations and write the numbers in their correct form.
• Have students work together to create a system for ordering and comparing the numbers.
• Once the chart and system are complete, have students present their work to the class and explain their system.

Closure

• Review the concepts covered in the lesson, including writing and comparing numbers in decimal, fractional, and exponential notation.
• Ask students to share their thoughts on the difficulty of using different notations to represent numbers and how it might affect their understanding of a problem.

Assessment

• Observe students during the independent practice activity to assess their ability to write and compare numbers using different notations.
• Collect and review the student-created posters or other presentations to assess their understanding of the concept.
