Understanding Place Value and Zero

they're waiting with their whiteboard in their marker make smart choices about where you're sitting all right table group three aren't you i'm sorry i already called people [Music] and three group one you guys oh james thank you very much okay making smaller choices waiting for people to set remember you need a little space for your whiteboard in front of you there's no need to have the caps on i know it's tempting but you'll have a chance to write our promise and i think maybe right there it gets back so kind of crowded over there and i said that was actually a pretty good spot as long as you can see can you see there all right okay can we have our wipers just flipped over please and our markers on the ground shouldn't even be holding it all right flip over your whiteboard thank you very much all right in our lesson today we will read with me how to buy ones tens and 100s message we had a little exposure to using those facetime blocks but now i want to talk about something very important disney world now i want you to imagine that we're going on a class trip to disney world how awesome would that be right one second hands down i'll explain now for anyone who's been to disney world i know some people just went on trips there for spring break one thing they'll tell you it's very expensive i mean the food's expensive the souvenirs the stuffed animals the getting into disney world is expensive so we're going to imagine we're all going on a class trip and i just happen to win the lottery and i have a ton of so what i'm gonna tell you is you can use the numbers one five and nine to make a certain amount of money okay so if i'm using those three numbers what is my largest place value you can have in that number now i'm not saying don't use any of the numbers but what is just this largest place value here nick what is my largest place value right here so we go ones braylon hundreds right so your number will be in the hundreds place i expect that but now please flip over your whiteboards on your own this isn't a test or anything we're just practicing write the number using these three you can only use each number once that you would like to get from me the amount that you would like to get write down your whiteboard leave room though don't write it huge okay what number would you guys like to get you can't use the same number good question can't use the same number that's smart thinking though wait is it just what you would like to get or no it's the number you would like to get from me using these three numbers make a number make an amount of money you would like to get like is it just what you would hear well i would assume you want the largest amount right we'll talk about that write the number good good thinking all right once you have it please tap your marker on though you're ready so you're talking about you'll give us the money we're imagining missions this sharing isn't super rich i can't give you guys all this money you'll imagine so if we imagine you'll actually if we imagine like in our imagination will you give us like the money we wrote down in your imagination that's the point we can imagine all right cap your pens once you're done your markers i should say waiting for some cats beauty for some cats now i'm still waiting for a couple cats please now look at the people's numbers next to you just compare you don't really have to say much just look at the numbers next to you look at the numbers next year okay everyone got a good look raise your hand if you can come up to the smart board i'm gonna actually make this right here one two three raise your hand you can come onto the smart board listen closely and tell me and move the number that would go in the hundreds place that you would like or come on let's all watch her see what she says oh i see her adding oh oh just one just one thank you very much we're gonna have someone else do intense place give me a thumbs up if that's what you got for the hundredths place ooh you guys are greedy what about the tens place now who can come up and move the number that they put in the tens place sophie come on up let's see oh you guys are going to cost me a lot give me a thumbs up if that's what you would put in the tenths place give me a thumbs down if you have something different you have anything different that's okay no all right and last but not least who can come up uh braelyn go ahead very good and i'm assuming you guys all said that zeology thumbs up for the last one now i'm assuming we're not talking about like 951 cats here we're talking about 951 dollars 951 dollars if that's the answer you got give yourself a pat on the back you guys would cost me a lot of money if this was true all right very good i have a question now i have a pretty tricky question here i believe that a lot of you guys got this answer but i want to know why this is the answer you chose not just not stating the obvious but why does this make the biggest answer so i'm going to let you guys do a thing hair share with someone either next to you or behind you why does this make the biggest answer okay [Music] [Music] [Music] okay [Music] [Music] two one we don't need to be erasing anything don't even worry about that right now please cap your markers and flip over your white boards you guys did a great job with them we'll come back to them later in one second all right wait for everyone ready all right raise your hand and tell me why does this make the biggest number all of you a lot of you seem to figure this one out but why do you think this makes the biggest number what do you think treya because the biggest number has to go in the biggest place the big the biggest place value is hundreds right now so um you just explained that so well give yourself a pat on the back that was great she said the biggest number should go in the biggest place value if it's the biggest place value it's gonna have the most value so if this is 900 here what if i put that nine here how much would it be worth if i put the nine instead of putting it there i put it at the end what would the number be right here then braylon it would just be nine dollars okay so he's right though he says it would be nine dollars because we'd be moving its place value does it mean sun said it the biggest number is in the largest or most the place value that's worth the most that's going to create a large number right you guys did great with that and i've heard so many people saying similar things awesome job you give something up is it something related to this all right let's see it i was gonna say okay i see why you do that i was gonna say though eve if you put two zeros after this some other people might have done that raise your hand okay a lot of people did that but okay james is right we can't use other numbers but this wouldn't be changing the number would it no but if we put the nine five at the end we couldn't repeat any numbers so i get what you're thinking so i could be really greedy and i can get more money only 95 but she is right all right moving on i need three volunteers people who've been participating people who are eager that are sitting flat bottom enb you're one of them why not vanessa you can come out jack come on up i'm actually going to need more volunteers in a bit so full time i'll have more people can i please have a nasa stand right here i'll have ian stand in the middle and i'll have jack stand right next to you all right now if i'm reading a number which starts at an essa and goes down to jack what place value would anessa be what's this value what do you think what do you think think it we'll see if we get around this one think it say it hundreds place very good and then ian would be think get saved and jack would be think and say it awesome job you guys are on today all right i'm going to hand these to anessa does everyone agree that these represent our hundreds okay i'm going to hand those to vanessa i'm going to hand these to and does everyone agree that these represent our tens yes all right these are going to eat and i'm going to hand these to jack does everyone agree that these represent our wallets yes all right here you go please hold those up for the class that they can see guys just hold them up a bit all right flip your white boards over please i told you i was gonna give you chances to write on them all right write the number wait for the direction though i'm not going to ask for the whole number yet write the number that anessa represents justine essa justin esta if you want to put an a and a dash you can after that write the number that ian represents look up here if you need to see the number that ian represents see some hard workers and last but not least represent the number that jack represents right the number i'm sorry all right a couple of people still working all right now look at the person next to you and compare your numbers just take a minute to look and see if you guys have the same thing for each person [Music] it only takes a quick please one two three all right what number did you get that anessa is representing what did you get cameron two hundred two hundred give me two thumbs up if you got 200 awesome job pad on the back what number did you guys get that and is representing just ian now think it's it you guys are so smart and what about jack look up here think it say it i also see signals i like those very good now on your whiteboard write the entire or the whole number that they're forming here the whole number what do you think we don't necessarily have to add them if we could that makes sense but just think we have three people up here so the largest place value would only be the starting amount once you think you got it kept your pen that's how i'll know that's your signal tap your pen once you think you got it now i'm curious it's okay if you didn't get this one it's not a test i'm just curious once you're done hold your whiteboard up to show me just looking okay very good very good all right tell me what the total number they're representing is think it blow it in your hand and say it dude 242 and if we're talking about dollars it would be dollars very good job please flip your whiteboard over so you're not on the right side put it in front of her to the side of you and kept your head off and yeah you guys may hand those back me and sit down way to be awesome place value holders all right now i have a question we all agree okay it's 242 that they're representing 242. what if i added this to the number what would the new number be what do you think we talked about this in our math message how much this would be worth so adding this to our number what would the new answer be what would the new answer be turn to your pair and discuss with them what you think [Applause] please one two three awesome what do you guys think what was the change do you think that if i didn't think it stayed on this we could say this big number at the same time do you think let's try it fake it say it 120 awesome job you guys are so smart okay please flip your whiteboards over we still need to add those i saw some people wrote it that's okay but flip them over i should not be i'm sorry i should not be seeing the white side i should be seeing the brown side okay don't worry about erasing it should be seeing the brown side brown side all right questions questions you guys started by adding on that it would be 1242. did that change the place value of these did that change the place value of these guess no yes no no it didn't why not why didn't it change the place value of those why didn't they change the face value of those what do you think [Music] it's the same number but we just added a thousand right so that'd be in the new largest place value awesome job very good what if i'm going to reverse things here this is our challenge and i want to see if we can figure it out you guys turn towards me thank you here's our challenge do you think we can do it you guys don't know what it is yet if you think you can do it all right let's see now you know how last time i gave the people the base tech blocks and they called them up for us to figure out this time i'm going to write a number and you guys are going to tell me what each person should be getting okay so i'm going to write a number here um [Music] can i have four volunteers please release you're here kate cam lauren come on up but you know what this one is just as important for the people in the audience because you guys are actually instead of writing it or writing on your whiteboards we're gonna figure out what each person gets next so if i have if i have four play style you spot oh that just changed everything isn't it i still have four place value spots what would kate represent what would kate represent whisper it in your hand blow it out and say it [Music] say it okay one more time say it very good so if my number is 1362 what should we give to kate what should we give to kate what do you think why don't you i'm going to call one person to tell me what base 10 black would represent that and then we're going to signal the amount okay of that block um so anna will you tell me first what cake i need to give to kate a thousand so i'm going to be using these signal to me how many of these i'll be giving to kate signal signal to be waiting for signals i see a lot of you signaling one you're right here you go okay hold on to that for me now 1362. what should we give to cameron what do you think what should we get to it first of all just tell me the base 10 block we have names for these what would what base 10 block would i give him don't tell me the amount of them though georgia the hundreds ones or the flats awesome to me how many flats cameron would get how many flats oh my goodness you guys are right here's your three flats hold them up all right and kylie 1 362 what is the name of the base 10 block i have to give her nyla it's kind of tricky to remember those names isn't it so 1362. what about honey everybody go on very good how many long signaled to me how many longs kylie would get if you're signaling six i agree i'm gonna give her six lives i'm giving your six one two three four five six and last but not least lauren what will we give to lauren what's it called what's the best time that paul doesn't get tour anna do you know so the cubes right how many cubes signals to me how many cubes i really like how george is right there with me great job listening here you go i agree two cubes now everyone please hold up what you have we have say it with me 1362. give yourself [Music] we're we just looked at the number one thousand three hundred sixty two i should only be seeing the brown side of your 1 foreign i have a little question down here what about zero what if i had the number zero and i said oh you can put that with that number thumbs up if you think you could put it somewhere that would make that a new number thumbs down it won't make any change to the number if you add a zero to one of the place value spot will it change it and make a new number or no it won't make any changes what do you think i want to see everyone voting i'm pretty curious i see some thumbs up see a couple down this doesn't tell me anything what do you guys think go one way or the other okay i'm seeing a lot of thumbs up discuss turn and talk to your partner [Music] all right five four three two one white boards please put them away i like when we're using them for math otherwise they're pretty distracting thank you all right what'd you guys come up with why might this change or not change the number georgia well if you put it on the end or anywhere oh my goodness georgia that was brilliant she said if i put it on the s it would not be it would now be thirteen thousand six hundred twenty did that change the value yeah absolutely that's a much bigger number would you rather have three thousand six hundred twenty dollars or thirteen thousand six hundred thirteen 000 i agree can i have people refocus i know we have the white points out our hands don't need to be on them sophie yep she wants to add something else oh she said if you take out the three it'd be one thousand six hundred twenty that's true that means it's four numbers um i was explaining the same thing um to kylie because and you wouldn't say one thousand three hundred six hundred and two zero yeah because how would you say that um so i did say thirteen thousand i didn't have time to say the rest but i wanted six hundred six hundred twenty yeah question we all agree okay we had a bigger number but why what did that make the other numbers do um [Music] [Music] oh you're saying now it's 13 instead of just one number three thousands three right what happened to these numbers though i agree and i know what you're saying but what happened to these numbers what do you think i appreciate people who keep participating this is kind of a trickier question what happened to the 3000 or what happened to the 1362 here because it doesn't sound the same i'm going to take this off i'm getting a little feedback from what happened i haven't heard from i do appreciate appreciate people who keep participating more jacob what happened it made numbers bigger it made it made those numbers bigger what do you mean by that it means i mean it's not the same thing it's not the same thing use the makes it more the zero makes it a larger number i agree so if these numbers moved this way someone said that earlier are they gaining more value or less value more or less more or less lots of thumbs up i agree i know that you guys love when we incorporate stories into something especially like math where we usually don't read a lot of stories that are kind of about math so i brought this story oh we have a couple people want to share i see a lot of people with hands quickly whisper your comments to your partner and then we're going to move back quickly respect to your partner if it's a question [Music] all right back up here oh we're sitting down i'm sorry can you please throw away we don't even need to have the connector i said we're not wiping off the white board if you are to this side to my right of sophie pass your white boards over towards shreya and georgia and they're just going to set them next to them first just your white boards if you are to this side of sophie castle [Music] let's see can i have nicholas and sophie pick up markers really quickly [Music] you should be waiting for the next direction all right [Music] all right can you please scooch up that you're facing me this way leave the those are fine right there girls you can just leave them they're fine all right we don't need to be care maybe can you speak and give hillary thank you just a little bit all right we talked about this number zero we talked about it in terms of place value just now this story talks about the number zero with addition with multiplication but then towards the end it talks about place value this is going to talk about the number zero in terms of place value girls focus up here when we get towards the end of the book the beginning is probably going to be a lot of review for you but it's kind of a silly story so you'll enjoy it but once we get towards the end there's going to be a lot about place value so i want everyone listening you can leave it it's fine for now i just have another blank screen that's why it's still on okay all right hands out we're going to start a place for zero and this is by angelina spraguena la crescent illustrated by phyllis horno he plays for zero all right not long ago zero lay floating on the calm waters of central lake he could hear the happy cries of the other numbers one through nine as they played in the battle zero didn't play adam up because he had nothing to add he felt he had no place among the other digits why do you think he had nothing to add to adam what is that i think they're kind of relating that to you she said oh four plus zero is four so he really has no value in that camera and it's always the same answer like wonders zero lives in digitaria a curious country ruled by king multiples and queen adeline their positive outlooks helped the kingdom prosper count infinity the king's trusted advisor was the one who shaped all the numbers when old digits retire people replace them with shiny new numerals thumbs up you've heard of roman numerals right every number knew its place a 7 was the number of days in a week and a 5 was the number of points on a star a 2 was handy for pounding the wheels on a bicycle the ones were important because count infinity added them together to make the other numbers questions after okay questions and comments try and remember every number had a place except zero how infinity had been experimenting when he formed the strange new digit but zero meant nothing and no one was sure what his job would be king multiples declared that no more zeros would be made until they found a purpose for this one zero zero was alone nowadays no one mentioned zero much the few times someone tried to count with him they always ended up with nothing i need to find my place zero thought he decided to go back to visit the wise old count infinity and ask his advice what does it mean the few times they tried to count up with him tried to come up with them that nothing happened yeah it didn't change the number right if we were doing addition how infinity made incredible things he made knickknacks whatsits and thingamajigs the most impressive thing he ever made was an enormous machine the numberator kinda sounds enumerated that says number eater the numerator had a vacuum tube on one side and a large curved spout on the other when count infinity placed digits under the tube they were sucked up with the great clankling and whirling until finally they emerged from the spout with a tiny new number count infinity could put in two ones to make a bouncy baby too or three ones to make a roly-poly little three so if he says he puts in two ones to get a 2 what problem would that be right i told you this part will all be reviewed you but the other thing's a little trickier as xero stood shyly in the doorway count infinity looked up and noticed him i am zero infinity exclaimed you're just in time to help me figure out a better way to make one what do you mean zero asked well most numbers are easy to make i simply pop a handful of ones into my trusty numerator making a one though that's trickier to make a one count finity explained i spent hours hand correcting it from a special material called integram why don't you just stick one one into the numerator zero s count infinity side i've tried that but the numerator adds you have to put in at least two numbers no two numbers that i can think of add up to okay before i move on what's the number they're going to add to 1. [Music] count infinity odds 0 in a strange way could you put this 1 into the numerator for me the count asks just help the one stand right under the vacuum tube if he's tricking him as zero did he was sucked up into the numerator along with the one zero barely had time to realize what was happening before he was out the other side sitting next to him were the old one and a shiny new one wonderful count tinnity cry we have discovered your additive identity i bet my binomials that if we add you to any number we will always come up with the same number you can help replenish the supply of digits and digitaria i think zero's feeling better now about himself or herself zero thanked the cow and slowly walked home he was happy to have a job but somehow he wasn't satisfied once could make digits too he wanted to do something no one else could do i still feel that i haven't really found my place he said to himself as zero walked he had an idea i wonder what would happen if i were multiplied with another number what do you guys think if we multiply any number times zero we get zero everyone knew that multiplication was a powerful thing and only the king could use it often the product of the multiplied numbers would be too large for anyone to understand zero swallowed hard at the boldness of this idea then he stood up as straight as around as it can i've lost the king he decided and set off for the castle at the gates of the castle zero was stopped by two sharp looking sevens what kind of number are you one guard ass you look like a nine someone squished both guards begin to laugh anika is the king about multiplication said zero the guards stopped laughing they looked at each other well said one you better go right in zero entered the castle he saw king multiplis and queen adeline on their thrones crowds of numbers filled the hall waiting to address them the five standing next to zero asked why he was there i'm asking the king to multiply me zero ass the five gasped everyone do a gasp for me other numbers who heard you get to whisper absolute nine cents you get it absolute nine cents instead of nonsense it's too much but they sell the two soon a loud buzz rippled through the hall what is the meaning of this king multiple displeased by the growing confusion it's zero queen annalee told him as something about multiplication multiplication the king explained that is serious business let him come forward and explain himself the room was silent i would like to be multiplied zero told the king i thought it might help me find my place on purpose yes the king said i have wondered myself what would happen he ordered the guards to fetch his multitude now we're talking about world's location here the tube was made of solid integrity we need to find someone who is willing to be multiplied with zero the king said no one moves finally a young one that's bored i'll do it the one said bravely together zero on the one jumped into the factor end of the tube all that could be heard was the clankling and whirring of the tube what number do you think is going to come out if one and zero went into the multiplier suddenly zero and the one shot out of the other end of the tube as zero looked around he saw beside him a small round figure who looked strangely familiar five alive exclaimed the king it's another zero the other numbers were speechless why we must try this again and declare the flavor guest to king this time we will multiply zero with the sabbath he called for one of his seven guards the guard's knee shook as he stepped forward the same thing happened with zero and seven the king laughed and said well zero you have your answer no matter what number we multiply you with we get zero this was big news the other numbers chattered excitedly but zero said now there are more zeros with no real place the one padded zero on the back zero was glad to have a friend at a time like this so now he says okay but now there's a bunch of zeros and i still don't really know what our purpose is right i want to make new numbers that no one has ever seen before zero says sir what number do you get if you add one to nine it was one of those questions that no one ever asked the king cops as everyone knows anything bigger than nine is many he said so he says any number bigger than 9 we're just going to call it 9. we don't think about 1 plus 9 because there is no digit for a number that big zero looked at the one standing next to him he rubs his eyes together he and the one looked like this it has the number 10. they don't know about 10. well it has to be it says they look like this and it kind of shows the picture but it doesn't say tender sorry cry look at us we can make a new number to represent what you get when you add one tonight the king scratched his chin zero asked nine wants to stand together sir if we added one more to this group we could use a zero to show that all those wants have moved over to the next place when i stand in this place next to my friend one as a zero i can represent zero ones but he now represents nine plus one i like your thinking zero the king said but he whispered i can't call the new number nine plus one quick think of a new name who would you i say the new name should be zero whisper back this new number will attend to a lot of business could we call it attend the king couldn't hear zero very well so in a loud voice he said i proclaim that this new number will be called a tenth the numbers all loved it hurray for 10 hurray pretend they cheered the numbers crowded around zero and asked if they could stand inside it zero gave each digit a turn and soon they were making wonderful new numbers like 20 30 60 and 90. so if the 3 becomes a 30 what changed there what's changing that we kind of talked about nick uh well it's like wait the three becomes a 30 oh where did the three go in the number three um came um in front of the zero and so instead of a number and then there can be a lot of people that can make four did your number three digit numbers you're right numbers back to 30 though really quick if the 3 now becomes a 30 the 3 goes from the ones place and now it's in the tent's place so it's changing place value right the numbers all loved it hooray for ten oh we read this before long they were standing next to each other in different combinations to make all kinds of new numbers numbers like 32 47 89 and so on and on big numbers didn't seem quite so scary anymore when the excitement calmed down zero thought someone changed his arm what about me asked a small boy what do you think it might be another one that's a good guess we'll see is it my turn to stand next to you the new little one the new little zero ass i'm sorry zero said two zeros standing next to each other still equal nothing the little zero looks so sad that the brave one and zero each put an arm around her you guys see that suddenly zero had thought look sir he called to the key what do we look like 100 so they went from a one and then they added one more zero the new number would be one two one and then if we had one more zero onto one and then ten and then we go to one hundred then we go to one thousand so what's changing here starts with t place value right the king said slowly why you look like a new number bigger than any i've ever seen bigger even than the new number 90. zero said probably we can represent what you get when you have ten tens splendid explain the king what's ten tens one soon all the other digits were clamoring to stand next to the two zeros because if they stand to the new zeros their individual numbers can have a lot more value because they might go to the tenths place to the hundredths place in the middle of the excitement zero notice how infinity be beating at him well zero the count smiled did you find what you were looking for zero knotted i just wanted to mean more than nothing he said and now i think i finally found my place from then on zero played adam up as happily as everyone out so i'm going to show these last two characters so why do you think now he was okay playing adam up i mean he still has no value when he's adding but why do you think now he was okay with adam um yep you're right okay we're gonna quickly do a step step clap clap clap before we go over the pages we're going to be working on in our math journals can i have everyone please stand up we'll do our steps [Music]
