Learning Objective
The objective of the lesson is what
students will be able to do as they
finish the activity. For this objective,
use the Standards of Learning (SOL)
to say what you want to focus on.
You can find the SOLs at

Online Activity Describe
what the learning activity will be as
the students meet with the teacher
online. What will the students and
the teacher be doing? (This includes
what they are doing with the
technology).
Pedagogy
3rd Grade
Asynchronous
3.1 The student will a) read and write six-digit numerals and identify
the place value and value of each digit; b) round whole numbers, 9,999
or less, to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand; and c) compare two
whole numbers between 0 and 9,999, using symbols (>, <, or =) and
words (greater than, less than, or equal to).
This is an asynchronous course and the materials needed will be
provided ahead of time. The teacher will provide a video
explaining how to read and write six-digit numerals and how to
identify the place value and value of each digit. The teacher will
also discuss examples on how to round whole numbers and how
to compare them using signs and the words that go with each
sign. After watching the video given, the students will then be
asked to participate in a simulation practicing rounding whole
numbers using Rounding Whole Numbers (Number Line).
Students will be asked to go to explorelearning.com where they
will sign in with the given information on the directions provided
by the teacher. The students will be given a student exploration
sheet that goes along with the simulation. The simulation can be
used for any amount of time each day. The student will go to
“find gizmos,” once logged in. They will then choose the option
“Gizmos By Academic Standard.” Then the student will choose
the state VA, and then click on 3rd grade underneath where it
says “VA—Standards of Learning.” They will then click where
where it is in blue stated “Rounding Whole Numbers (Number
Line). They will then start the simulation where it will guide the
student through some practice to show how it is done. The
student will be able to practice and increase their knowledge
about how to place points on the number line, work on
rounding values to the nearest ten or hundred. That will be done
by the student being able to visualize rounding by showing the
number line as a hill or series of hills. The hills cause the points
to roll to the nearest valley (nearest multiple of then or one
hundred).
 When the students get through their gizmo simulation, they will
have gotten practice and further knowledge on aspects of
rounding. They will need to turn in the completed student
exploration sheet to the teacher, so that the teacher can see if
they understand the concept or not. If the student is still having
trouble, then they can write down on the sheet where their
problem areas were and the teacher can see what will need to
be done for further learning and assistance.
