place value
By Gina

Clip to ScrapBook   
Every year I do something called a place value project. I made up a rubric and basically the project is up to the child. I assign this project after introducing Place Value. It is based on 100 points. I made each unit on paper and I photo copy the packet. I instruct my students to use at least five of each value. They then are instructed to add up the value and write a column adddition problem on the back. The creativity comes from the title. The direction is to give it a title based on the correct calculation of the units used. For example one made a park and wrote 5,5l6 inches of grass. I can't remember some of the cuter ones. The students really surprise you. I usually give them about 3 weeks to complete the project.

Hope this helps.

Gina
