Learning experiences and assessment opportunities
As part of this unit, the teacher is planning to implement the following learning experiences and assessment opportunities.
Modelling
The teacher models the representation of three numbers using a variety of concrete materials, including counters, unifix cubes, paddles pop sticks and base 10 materials.
The teacher models checking the ascending order of the modelled numbers using a number line, explaining that as you count forward along the number line the numbers get larger. 
Guided practice
The teacher provides students with guided practice during the tiered learning experiences and assessment opportunities by monitoring student responses and asking questions at different levels of complexity.
Tiered learning experiences
| Tier | Learning experiences and assessment opportunities | Resources |
|---|---|---|
1
|
Students choose three numbers in the range 0 to 20 from a number bag. Using materials available, students represent each number from the number bag on a place-value mat (students are encouraged to group the materials in tens and ones). They place the numbers in ascending order. Students explain how they represented each number and why they placed the numbers in the particular order.

2

Students choose three numbers in the range 0 to 99 from a number bag. Using materials available, students represent each number from the number bag on a place-value mat in tens and ones. They place the numbers in ascending order. Students explain how they represented each number and why they placed the numbers in the particular order.

Students choose three numbers in the range 10 to 999 from a number bag. Using base 10 materials, students represent each number from the number bag on a place-value mat. They place the numbers in ascending order. Students explain how they represented each number and why they placed the numbers in the particular order. |
