Popsicle Place Value

Develop young mathematicians' understanding of place value with this hands-on math activity. Working in pairs, learners take turns building two-digit numbers by rolling two ten-sided dice. Base ten blocks are then used to model the...

How many rolls until you get to 100? Young mathematicians will have a blast with this place value game, which has them rolling a die and placing a corresponding number of popsicle sticks in the "ones" column of their mat. Once they get...

Kindergartners jump right into learning. Each lesson in this math unit is clearly outlined with materials, procedures, student outcomes, misconceptions, and solutions. All lessons and activities are aligned with Common Core math standards.

What fun, simple number value activities these are! Using dot cards and ten frames, 34 educational games are briefly described to help diversify these great strategies. For example, in the game "I Wish I Had..." the teacher holds up a...

Students study addition of one and two digit numbers without regrouping. In this math lesson, students find the sum of addition problems. Place value is presented.

Students play a place value game using popsicle sticks and dice. They investigate units and tens.

Learners practice estimating by handling items in groups of ten. They visualize how much space 100 items, such as pennies, peas, or beans, will take up after holding 10 of them. Students measure the difference in volume between 10 and...

First graders recall place value system and double-digit addition, create and manipulate double-digit regrouping, and devise and identify ways to use regrouping.

Students use various manipulatives and play a game to practice place value and to help them visually see how many "ten" is.

First graders listen as the teacher taps a drum or tambourine 6 times and state how many times the teacher tapped. They place that many counters on the left side of the Two-Sided Counting Mat and add as many counters as taps are made by...
