Today, we partied like it was the day before Thanksgiving break with a place value party! We made a Place Value Cake with delicious digits! Students created a cake to show a number between 1-20. The cake base was made of two ten-frames so that students could show their number on the tens frames. We also made place value crowns to practice writing number words, finding the number on the number line, showing the number in pictorial form, and showing the number on a ten frame. We also played pin the nose on the clown which the kids LOVED. Students were given a number on a ten frame and if their number was shown by me they got to try to pin the number on the clown! Also, we reviewed our IB central idea that Symbols Show Information with Mr. John while talking about symbols on maps.
