In our pursuit to better understand place value, we have been adding a number of tools and strategies to our repertoire – the place value chart, the place value flip chart, base ten blocks, expanded form, expanded notation, and word form.
For extra practice at home, you might want to try to create this DIY place value cup set.
As you use these at home, don’t forget to think about how each PLACE relates to each other PLACE. Think, too, about how VALUES change, even when digits don’t.
