Teaching Tips

• Use physical objects like base-ten blocks or bundles of straws to provide a concrete, hands-on representation of place value.
• Connect place value to real-world money. Use pennies, dimes, and dollars to represent ones, tens, and hundreds.
• Play 'I'm Thinking of a Number' games. Give clues like, 'My number has 4 tens and 6 ones. What is it?'
• Create a large place value chart and have students place number cards in the correct columns to build different numbers.
• Encourage students to say numbers aloud correctly, emphasizing the place value language, such as 'four hundred twenty-five' instead of 'four two five'.
