Welcome Back or Welcome to the Podcast and Intro Purpose
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
Hello, friends! Welcome back—or, if it’s your first time, welcome to Paws and Progress! I’m Mrs. Nicholson, your teacher here at The School at Marygrove. This is our special virtual space where we review what we learned today, practice together, and get ready to shine tomorrow. Think of this as our learning clubhouse—you, me, and your bright ideas! Our goal is simple: to make learning stick by talking through the big ideas from class and having a little fun while we do it. And who knows? By the end, you might even teach me something new. Ready? Let’s jump in!

Brief Overview of Eureka Math Module 1 and Lesson 2 Learning Target
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
This week, we started Eureka Math Module 1, which is all about place value, rounding, and algorithms for addition and subtraction. In Lesson 1, we explored how numbers can be built from ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
Today, in Lesson 2, our learning target was:
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
I can recognize that each digit in a multi-digit number represents ten times the value of the digit to its right.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
That means, if I have a ‘3’ in the hundreds place, it’s worth ten times more than a ‘3’ in the tens place. This is the secret power of place value—it helps us understand the size of numbers and compare them with confidence!
Chapter 3
Review Lesson Components and Interactive Practice
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
In class, we used place value charts and number disks to see how numbers change when we move digits left or right. Let’s review:
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
If I say the number 2,430, the digit ‘4’ is in the hundreds place. That means it’s worth 400. If I move that ‘4’ one place to the left into the thousands place, what happens? (pause for students to answer) Yes! It becomes 4,000—it’s ten times bigger.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
Let’s try a few together:
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
7 in the tens place – what’s its value? (pause) Right—70.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
If I move that 7 one place to the right into the ones place, what’s the value now? (pause) Yep—just 7.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
If we have 5 in the hundreds place, how many tens is that? (pause) Yes—50 tens, or 500!
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
Remember, each jump to the left makes a digit ten times bigger, and each jump to the right makes it ten times smaller. Here’s your challenge: Think of your favorite number, write it down, and then figure out what happens to one of its digits if you move it one place left or right. You can even share it with me tomorrow!

Review Learning Target, Encouragement, and Tease Next Episode
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
"Before we wrap up, let’s say our learning target one more time:
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
I can recognize that each digit in a multi-digit number represents ten times the value of the digit to its right.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
You did an amazing job thinking like mathematicians today! Keep practicing by using place value charts at home or even noticing numbers in the real world—like on price tags, clocks, or sports scores.
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
In our next episode of Paws and Possibility, we’ll explore Lesson 3, where we’ll use place value understanding to compare multi-digit numbers. Get ready to figure out which numbers are bigger, smaller, and why!
Candice Nicholson (Jackson)
Until then, keep those paws moving toward possibility. Bye, friends
