Lesson plan
Launch
Students will work in their centers. They will first complete their math fact quiz for the contest. They will then prepare for the lesson. This center is a review from classroom activities.
Teach
Review with the students each meaning.
Standard Form- a way to write numbers by using digits example: 3,450
Word Form- a way to write numbers by using words example: three thousand, four hundred fifty
Expanded Form- a way to write numbers by showing the value of each digit example: 3,000 + 400 + 50 + 0

Wrap up
Students can continue this activity in the room. They can have another classmate give them four different numbers. Write the largest number they can and then continue as they did in their center. Write each number 3 ways, standard form, expanded form and word form. Then tell their classmate if it is even or odd.
