Place Value Game

This is a great way to continuously review place value.  I put it into a center and bring it back out every couple of weeks to make sure my students continue to be confident with place value, standard form and word form.

Narrative Elements

I love this simple graphic organizer.  I use it more in the beginning of the year and gradually make it harder.  I use this for reading and writing stories.

Place Value Practice

The students can never seem to get enough practice when it comes to place value.  I created these simple worksheets that I can use as a quick review in class, but would also make great homework!

Place Value Digits

This is another fun activity designed to help students practice place value in a fun and engaging way.  This activity can be used as bellwork, a quick review, homework or even a center.  Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Important Events

I use graphic organizers several times during the week at school.  Since I use them so often I have to make sure I have many simple ones so the students don't get bored but also so I don't have to continuously spend a lot of time explaining a new organizer.  This is an organizer that I have used for realistic fiction, biographies (reading and writing) as well as studying events in history.  Hope you find this one helpful!

Place Value Activity

Here is a great printable to use to help your students practice place value.  I color coded the chart because I have found that my students who are struggling or second language really benefit from having the chart color coded.  Grab this from TPT store and enjoy this activity with your class!

Number Forms

This is a fun activity to practice number forms.  The students randomly choose numbers, create a number and then write down the different forms of the number.  I introduce it whole group and then put into a center for extra practice!



Grab this from my TPT store and have fun in your classroom with this great activity!  It is free!!
