Place Value Fun!

Mrs. Yollis' new students are reviewing numbers. 
Today they looked at the different forms a number can take.
They used their ClustrMap for practice!




The symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are digits.


Standard form: A way of writing numbers using digits


Expanded form: A way to write numbers by showing the VALUE  of each digit


Word form:  A way to write numbers using words




Tomorrow, everyone is hoping for this palindrome!
(A palindrome a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward, e.g., madam or nurses run.)

Several students played Digital Dog Bone at home last night!

 The class played manual Dog Bone in class. They used their hand to place a number in the correct location on the hundreds chart.



Some numbers were easy to place like:  1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 100. Others numbers were more difficult to place, especially if the hundred chart was empty!





Have you played Dog Bone? If so, how many bones could you place in one minute? 

Which numbers are easy to place and why?

What are some strategies you use to place your number quickly?
