Understanding Place Value and Operations

In this lesson, the teacher guides students through solving a math problem using place value charts and area models. The lesson focuses on understanding multiplication and expressing results in standard form. Students learn to draw disks on place value charts, write equations, and convert unit forms to standard forms. The teacher emphasizes the importance of reading directions and understanding basic math facts. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next lesson, which will cover the standard algorithm for multiplication.
