Place Value

We started a new unit in math this week!  Place value is an essential concept in math; it's the foundation  for all number operations!  

In math class, kids need to know how to say a number, how to write it in standard form, how to expand it into place value, and how to represent it in a variety of ways.  In grade 4, students are expected to work with numbers up to 10 000, and grade 5's up to 1 000 000. 

In our math class today we had a fun scavenger hunt!  Twenty-four cards with Base 10 block pictures were hidden around the room.  The students had to find all of these cards, and write the number in standard form on their sheet.  It was great to move around the class, and a bit of a challenge to find all of the cards! Here are some photos from our hunting!

Don't forget that there is no school on Monday, and an early dismissal on Tuesday!  Have a great Thanksgiving!
