Place Value

Our big focus this quarter in math has been place value. We have surrounded our activities around the idea of breaking apart numbers into tens and ones. The pictures below show one activity we engaged in that helps us organize our thinking about place value. Students grabbed a ziplock bag that has a number on it, counted the materials inside the bag, wrote the total number down, then broke it apart into groups of 10's and 1's and recorded down their answer. Phew.... What rigor!
