Kindergarten Math: Place Value
Share this:
Teaching Place Value is an essential concept for students to understand and master. When students successfully understand place value (the value of digits), they are able to use this skill to compose and decompose numbers. Competency with place value is the foundation for harder concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In order for students to build a concrete understanding of place value, they need hands-on and authentic opportunities to practice this mathematical skill. In Unit 7 of the Math Made Fun Curriculum, the place value activities will allow students to better understand how numbers can be broken apart, put together and rearranged to build a foundation with numbers of 11-19.

HOW DO I ORGANIZE THE UNITS?
I chose to store the math centers in Sterilite bins, because they don’t take up too much space. It is a tight fit, but I find that they work nicely for me. However, if you choose, you could store the centers in a larger container as well. Within the bin, each math center is stored in a gallon sized ziplock baggie.
