Place Value Week Four

Students creating the number using hundreds, tens and ones

Students creating the number using tens and ones (regrouping by trading the hundred for tens)

Hello,

We are working on place value in our targeted number sessions. This will continue for several weeks if not the entire term so as to develop in our students a very consolidated understanding of the base-10 number system and the value of digits within a number. Place value underlies all calculation and a thorough understanding of this will put our students in good stead for their future of mathematics.

The following are some Place Value online games/exercises that we will be doing during class in Week 4 and 5. I am providing these website links within this post so that the children can be independent during class and find the sites through the blog. They will also be very handy to practice at home after we cover the content during these two weeks.

While I have selected these as appropriate to the point-of-need of the children in my targeted class, Rita, Kevin, and Janette may also utilise these activities and tailor them to the point of need of the students in their classes.


"I know that the place of a digit in the ones, tens or hundreds place will give the digit a different value."

"I know how to regroup 10 ones into 1 ten, 10 tens into 1 hundred, and 10 hundreds into 1 thousand."

Regrouping tens and ones (they have to see that some of the ones can be renamed into tens).

Happy thinking! And remember, if you start off not understanding something (especially in maths) there are many ways to improve, for example: asking your teacher or someone in class who seems to understand, by practicing, by trial and error, by making connections to other learning. Never be afraid to ask questions and never give up because you will get there in the end!
