My oldest just got it!! Place value makes sense to him. He uses it to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. He amazes me with his math sense.

My present first grader doesn’t get it though….and everything math related is much harder for him. So we are going on a place value quest. We will be spending tons of time on place value, giving him numerous opportunities for this concept click for him.

I’ve decided that are foucs will be on the hundreds chart, and we will be exploring ten frames and base ten blocks. I know that the more I let him explore, that this incredibly important concept will become easier for him. But it will take work on both of our parts.

Directions

Examples:

In this card, you can see that there are two hundred blocks which equal 200. There are ten longs which equal another 100. Then we have 10 cubes which equal one long or 10. If I put all these numbers together I have 310. Since 310 is greater than 300 my task card should have a > sign in the circle. This shows that 310 is greater than 300.

(If your child is having a hard time figuring out what all the blocks equal then it is time to get out the real base ten blocks. This way they can exchange the 10 longs for a flat (hundreds) and the 10 cubes for a long (tens).

There are also task cards to help children compare numbers up to 100.

In this example, you can see that there are eight longs and 3 cubes. The task card in this example is a little easier, as all you need to do is place an eight in the tens place and a 3 in the ones place. If the numbers are placed in the correct place they should quickly recognize that 83 is greater than 38 and place a > sign in the circle. If you get a = sign, you will know that your child does not understand that the first digit on the right is the one’s place.

These coloring pages focus on the digits of the number and what those digits equal.
