Oh, Place Value 😮
As we were reviewing this topic last week I started to remember how as a young 2nd grader I could not get the correct answers as to where each value went. As I was looking for how to make this topic more appealing and more engaging I found this place value game and a worksheet that was also a hands on activity that could help a young 2nd grader grasp this idea a little bit better.
I also thought about how I was a visual learner growing up in school. My hope is that this would appeal and help all those visual learner see the topic of place value from a different perspective.
Common Core Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1
Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
Place Value Game : Place Value Sandwiches
What I liked about this game is that it gives the students a chance to practice the place values but also help them visualize which number is associated with each place value.

Place Value Worksheet:
I liked this worksheet because it had multiple yet engaging parts to it. First , the student had to roll the 3 dices , then they have to write it down and make it with a manipulative, then they have to break it down and expand the number. I thought this was an inventive way to incorporate three elements of learning all in one worksheet.

I really liked this post! Number order can definitely be difficult for students, particularly later on when we get into negative numbers and where they fall on the number line. I thought that the game you posted was a lot of fun and could really engage the students. I agree that visually representing the numbers and using manipulatives like dice can help reinforce the topic by making it fun for the students. This post also made me think of dyslexia and how a student having serious difficulties with number order or writing numbers backwards might have dyslexia, something to keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteHi Darlyn,
ReplyDeleteI was looking through you blog and I really liked all of the topics that you have chosen, especially this one! I love how you organize you blog with the intro, the grade level, and the standards then the lesson and a reflection. It is important how as a teacher we need to reflect on lessons and how we will teach it and what we will change or keep, so it is great that you already have that included in your posts! It is crazy to me that kids do not learn about place values until 2nd grade because I feel like it is such a basic topic, but when I look through the standards it makes sense that it is actually quite advanced.
The sandwich game is adorable and I can see kids really liking it, also being able to move the sandwich around. The dice game looks really fun for kids as well!
Great post!

Hi Darlyn ! This is such a clever idea for students to learn about place value. I think you hit on a really valid point that many times these new teaching concepts appear easier as we're adult learners but being able to find playful ways like this one can be a great resource for the student! I did a post about rounding and I instantly thought this manipulative could be an effective way to teach kids about round to the nearest 10, 100 1,000 etc aside from the most known form, the number line. Great post, that has versatility in teaching concepts!
