place value By Monica

One that I do currently is using the 100 chart...telling them to mark numbers according to clues I give them. The numbers that they mark end up making a design on the 100 chart. Examples of clues/directions would be: mark the number with 2 in the ones place, mark the numbers with 5 in the tens, and mark the number with 3 in both places.

I'm thinking of creating a concentration game. The children would match up illustrations of tens and ones to the written form. I'm playing around with the ideas of place value bingo also.

Anyway, good luck to all of us dealing with the challenge of teaching place value.
