 * Title: ||~ Ordering numbers through the billions ||
 * Subject: ||< math ||
 * Grade: ||< 5th ||
 * Purpose: || TLW be able to order numbers in problem solving situations ||
 * Time Frame: ||< One 90 minute lesson ||
 * Summary: ||< Students will create a word problem including 4 numbers of 10 digits or more (found on the internet) that need to be ordered from least to greatest. ||
 * Tasks: || 1) Describe the main steps of the activity/lesson/project here * Students will compare two 10 - 12 digit numbers.
 * Using number cards created in the previous lesson, table groups will order their numbers.
 * Lead a discussion using facilitating questions:
 * When we put numbers in order from least to greatest, which place do we look at first? Why? (If necessary, clarify the terms least to greatest making connections to the words less than and greater than. Remind students to look at the greatest place value column in the list of given numbers.
 * What is the largest place value of each of the numbers?
 * What is the smallest number in the sequence? How do you know?
 * What number would come next? How do you know?
 * Is it possible to put these numbers in order from least (smallest) to greatest (largest) without looking at the ones column? Why or why not?
 * How would this process change if we were ordering the numbers from greatest to least.
 *  Activity 1 With a partner,students will sequence 5 numbers from least to greatest. They will then use ActiVotes to enter their numbers in sequence. (Answers will not be shared whole class.) Pairs of students then share their answers with another pair and come to an agreement of the order. They will then use ActiVotes to enter their numbers. Answers are shared and discussed.
 * Activity 2 Working with a partner, students will create a word problem containing five 8-12 dgit numbers.
 * Reflection: Students will answer the following questions in their Wiki:
 * 1) When given three numbers, how do you decide which number is the largest?
 * 2) How did you choose to order the numbers?
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Is there another way to order the numbers? ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Objectives: || * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">5.1A Use place value to read, write, compare, and order whole numbers through the 999,999,999,999

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">5.15B Relate informal language to mathematical language and symbols.(TAKS 6)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">5.16B Justify why an answer is reasonable and explain the solution process ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Assessment: ||< <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students will find answers to given word problems. ||
