Place Value

Well, today I decided to blog about the topic of PLACE VALUE. As adults and readers, you might think place value is an easy concept to grasp. But, just as learning to read and write, children must learn place value as well! There are many different ways to go about teaching students place value. You could use manipulatives, worksheets, fun videos or games, and things along those lines! To start off, here is a place value chart that you might use while teaching children place value with manipulatives.

Using manipulatives is a VERY easy way to tech children. You could use things such as base-ten blocks. If you don't know what those are, here's the link! Although base ten blocks are mainly used for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, I think it is good to introduce them to students at a very young age so they get familiar with them as they learn throughout the years!

Another way to teach students about place value is worksheets! This is the classic and somewhat boring way to learn but it is also very effective! To throw some fun things in there you could show fun videos or let students play some games based on place value for them to learn while they think they are watching TV or playing a game!

Overall, teaching place value is relatively easy because of all the tools you can work with! You could use manipulatives, worksheets, and videos or games to assist you in your specific teaching method!
