T.I.P.S.

Lightbulb

Students should rely on their prior knowledge from first grade related to generating a number that is greater than or less than a given whole number up to 120. Students will now apply this concept to find a number more than or less than a given number up to 1,200. Students could use objects such as base-ten blocks, drawings or pictorial models, hundreds chart, number line, or comparative language to generate a number more than or less than a given whole number.

Example

Complete the following statements and justify your solutions using place value models or a number line.

a)  10 more than 239 is ________. b)  100 less than 524 is ________. c)   ________ more than 352 is 362. d)  Find a number that is more than 1023 and less than 1200. e)  Find a number that is more than 709 and has a 9 in the tens place.
