Main Lesson Aims (Concepts, Procedures, & Processes):

By the end of the lesson:
1. Students will be able to subtract number, based on 4 basic numbers.
2. Students will be able to estimate 4 digit numbers to the nearest 10, by finding the
closest tenth number to it.

Students Prior Knowledge: Students already have practiced how to subtract and

Round 2-digit numbers to the nearest 10 using the line number.

Possible Problems:
I expect some students confused If the question needs to round to the nearest ten or to
the nearest hundred.
Solutions: teacher will use line numbers and cubes to defined for them the value of each
digit
Misconceptions:
Students may not be able to distinguish between the hundred number the thousands
number.
Solutions for Misconceptions:
Teacher will ask them to draw a tick above the word of "hundred" and a circle above the
word "thousand".
Solutions: teacher will use line numbers and cubes to defined for them the value of each
digit

Lesson Schedule
Targeted teacher questions to promote HOTS
Student communication and use of math language
Engage (warm up, review prior knowledge):
Teacher will explain the management materials for the students. She will give them
some rules they have to follow during the group work like working without together
without making mess.

Teacher will start with telling students an illustrated story about a boy want to using
a train to do a trip but he want someone to help him to choose the to choose the
fastest train and he will ask the students to extract the estimated difference between
them.

the end of the story, teacher will start asking questions:

What is estimate?
Who can give me another word for estimate?
Why do you think estimate is important lesson?
What is the estimate number between the trains?

Core (introduce and practice new concepts & procedures):

Educational video:
(Rounding to nearest ten and hundred), clarify how to round.

Activity 1:
Teacher will do 3 examples on the board, two time by herself and once with
students.
Teacher will choose student to formation the number using cubes.
Estimate the number to the nearest ten or a hundred.
subtract the number starting from the once digit.

25 mints

Book exercise p135, 136:

It has the same idea of the previous activity.

Round and draw (worksheet):

each students will have a worksheet first the student will forming a figure by drawing
cubes to distinguish between each digit and then follow the steps to solve the
subtraction question
