Place value house

The Trading Game is a fabulous way to teach place value to younger students.

(something I have to admit I myself struggled doing until I made this...my head hangs in shame!) I had a rough idea that I wanted to incorporate the house idea to teach the place value concept (you know…

This is a variation of The Teacher Wife's Even & Odd Street. I saw almost the exact same thing on another blog, but I don't remember where. If this is your idea, please let me know, so I can give you proper credit. The students chose three playing cards from a deck and arranged them in ascending order. They wrote their number combinations onto slips of paper and we practiced sorting them into even and odd. Students lined up in ascending order and descending order, based on the numbers they…
