Thanks for the idea! My son is 5 (K). I had him complete a missing number 100's chart. He did it again later in the week. He cut both charts in half and glue them to construction paper, then we put them in a sheet protector slip and we played the game. Fun activity for him during the summer as he prepares for 1st grade...

This is so great! I am a high school teacher but don't know how to support my young elementary aged son in learning place value. Great strategy!

Hi, I'm just starting as a TA and your material looks like it'll be great for interventions. Can you tell me where I can reach your resources please? Many thanks for your inspiration

Just letting you know politely that there is an error in Leo's Exhibit! 111 = N, or you can update the drawing to add 4 more 1's. Thank you!

What would you do for a student that just isn't grasping the concept of place value? How would you explicitly teach this concept?

I paid for this last night with the monies ($10:57 Australian) coming from my bank account without the correct resource attached :(
