Get Students Excited About Number Math With Our Ready-to-Use Place Value Activities

Place value is the foundation for all number work in elementary school. Students begin by counting objects and recognizing small numbers, then learn that the position of a digit changes its value. The concept directly relates to the addition and subtraction skills they mastered in previous grades, which explains why regrouping is necessary when solving these problems. Students develop base-ten system pattern recognition through consistent practice of place value concepts.

Students learn to compare numbers and round them effectively while mastering the skill of reading large quantities of numbers. The current learning activities will enable students to perform multi-digit operations and handle decimals and fractions as they advance to upper-grade levels. Students who grasp the meaning of 345 as three hundreds, four tens, and five ones will be able to solve complex math problems through reasoning rather than relying on memorized tricks.
