Blog (D) Place Value

We were asked to sequence the five learning tasks mentioned below for place value 34. As a teacher i would choose this sequence with my students after they have been introduced to 3 tens and 4 ones using the bundles of sticks :


1. Numbers in Tens and Ones

When children learn about place value, it can lead to an "aha!" moment when they realise that they don't have to memorize sums for all the numbers they can think of...once they know that 30 + 4 = 34

5. Number words
