Place Value Stations...Hands-On Learning!

In our Math unit on place value the students rotated through a series of four stations with hands-on activities to assist in the learning of place value concepts. In one station they used place value blocks to build numbers, in second they used a card game, in another they used dice, and in the last they used place value stamps to create numbers to the thousands and ten thousands place. They then had to write these numbers in standard form, expanded form and word form. It was a fun and active way to learn about place value. The students demonstrated much enthusiasm and excitement in learning math through these stations.
