Activity: Place Value Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W47G-h7myY • This is a song that I will introduce in class. • The repetition of ones, tens, hundreds is a good way to help students start recognize that each number is worth a different amount. • This video also helps reinforce the blocks that we use in class.
Activity: Place Value Straws • This is an activity that isn’t online but can be done at home with cheap materials. • Get around 300 straws or coffee stirrers • Then make some bundles of 10 straws and 100 straws leaving some individual • Ask your child to show you different numbers or you show them straws and ask how many. • Focus on their language, “1 Hundreds, 4 Tens, 7 ones = 147”
Game: Place Value Puzzler http://www.funbrain.com/tens/index.html • Fun way to practice identifying where each place value is in a number. • Use the easy level because it does not involve decimals or ten-thousands place. • Displays correct and incorrect answers so you can check on their progress every few minutes to see if they are guessing or understanding.
Game: Robbie the Robot http://e-learningforkids.org/Courses/EN/PlaceValue/Index.html • It seems like students just copy the number but, this game really helps children think about each number as representing a separate place value by separating numbers in the answer • It is also fun for them to compete against a robot and you as the parent can also track results for this game as well
Game : Place Value Pirates http://mrnussbaum.com/placevaluepirates/ • Warning –This game turns the cursor into a sword. There is no animated violence when selecting pirates but I wanted to warn any parents that this may concern. • This game is probably the most exciting for students to play. • This proves that students fully understand place value by having them identify a number that has a 2 in the ones place.
