Place Value Mats

We talked about different types of place value mats.   I have included links to a few that I have made.   Think about how you want to use a place value mat.  If you are using it with base ten blocks then you want to enlarge the mat onto 11 x 17 paper or create them on large construction paper.   If you are using the Singapore Place Value Disks you can use a smaller size mat.

Hundreds Chart

The hundreds chart is one of my favorite resources to use with students in grades K-5.  Below are some good sites for exploring ideas for using a hundreds chart.   One of my favorite ideas is to copy a hundreds chart onto colored card stock and then to cut it up into creative shapes and make a hundreds board puzzle. 

It can also be a great tool for older students when discovering prime and composite numbers.  The Sieve of Eratosthenes is an ancient method for finding prime numbers and the hundreds chart is a perfect tool for this exploration.

This will not be the only post about the hundreds chart.   I am sure I will keep sharing lots of different ways to use this "number line" from 1 - 100 or 1 - 120.

It was great to come to Pottsville and to meet each of you.  I am looking forward to working with you throughout the year as we all learn more about Singapore math and explore other resources for improving math instruction.  I love exploring new games and activities that help students to build confidence in their own mathematical ability. Thanks for letting me be part of your journey.
