Over the last week and half we have been learning about place value and ways we can represent numbers using popsticks and MAB blocks. We have explored this concept using games, manipulative materials and Mathletic activities. The children enjoyed playing the game 'Roll and Collect' using popsticks and then bundling the popsticks once they reached ten. The person who had the largest number at the end was the winner.
The children found out that place value means the value of a digit within a number, for example we found out that the number 52 is made up of 5 tens and 2 ones. We even explored some numbers into the hundreds! I have included the link to one of the games we enjoyed playing. http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/placevalue/fruit_shoot_place_value.htm
