starting off with place value

I'll be starting my year off in math with place value.

Oh, place value.

Some students get it right away. No worries. Others need a little more time. And then there are still others who need a lot of time and reinforcement.

I've been working on some place value activities to add to our math time.



The first is a set of six centers that reinforce:

  • identify the value of a digit;
  • number forms;
  • comparing numbers;
  • number patterns (skip count by 5, 10, and 100); and
  • adding or subtracting 1 or 10 from any number.


Each center activity comes with directions, game cards, and a recording sheet. No other manipulatives are needed for these centers.




Next, is an around the room activity. My students always love doing the around the room activities. I don't think they realize they are just doing the same work we have been doing for the entire unit. They just know it's fun.

We typically do the around the room activity as a review for the assessment.




There is also an I Have... Who Has.... activity. This can be done whole group, small group, or students can order the cards individually. Also an excellent review.

All of these place value activities are available in my TpT store.  And just for fun, since everyone is getting ready for the new school year, these three products will be 15% off through Sunday.
