Using Base-10 blocks (or alternative paper cut-outs), the students get a feel for whole number place values. This activity guides students to see that place values grow by multiples of ten. Furthermore, students practice identifying place values and building numbers with their blocks.
Key Words:
Numbers and Operations, Place value, Scientific Notation
I need an activity for my 6th grade TAKS math class to reinforce place value, both whole and decimal numbers; they also need help identifying place values and comparing and ordering numbers.
