Learning Objectives

1

Represent three-digit numbers using hundreds, tens, and ones place

2

Use base-ten blocks to build and understand place value

3

Develop a sense of wonder about God's mathematical design

📖 Scripture Connection

Proverbs 3:19

“Yahweh by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.”

— Proverbs 3:19 (WEB)

Just as God used wisdom and understanding to create the world, we use understanding to break down numbers into their component parts

Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse math adventure! Let's review what we learned about tens and explore how numbers can be built like God builds creation.

💭 Review Question: Can you remember how many tens make a hundred?
2Teaching (10 min)

Today we'll explore how three-digit numbers are like building blocks. Each place has a special value - ones, tens, and hundreds!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • One hundred is made of ten tens
  • Each place has a different value
  • We can build numbers like God builds carefully
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • How might God use numbers in creation?
  • What's the largest number you can imagine?
