Raise the stakes on your teaching of number sense and place value! Versatile
boards feature color-coded spaces to write in decimals on one side and
numbers on the reverse. The blank, color-coded place-value squares match
the color sequence of Learning Resources® Place Value Rods, inviting
students to engage in manipulative-based learning individually or in small
groups. What’s the holdup? Get your hands on these dazzling, double-sided
displays and start creating numbers today!
Note: Write on the boards with a dry- or wet-erase marker. Do not saturate
the boards with water or cleaning solution. This could warp the boards.
Fun Classroom Uses:
Mystery Digits—Divide the class into several small groups. Give each small
group one board. Think of a mystery number for the groups to solve on their
boards. For each digit of the mystery number, call out or write a “clue” on
the classroom whiteboard that describes where students should place the
digit (for example, put a 4 in the tens place, put an 8 in the hundreds place,
and so on). When you finish calling out clues, ask: “What number did we
make?” Have a volunteer from each group hold the board up to show the
answer and read the number properly! The numbers they have created are
now in standard form—the way we typically see numbers in everyday life.
Expanded Form to Standard Form—Expanded form shows the sum
of the values of each digit in a number. For example, the number 342 in
expanded form is 300 + 40 + 2. Show students the expanded form of this
number on the board. Then, have them write the corresponding number on
their answer boards. Encourage students to discover that 300 in this number
is represented by a 3 in the hundreds place, and so on. Continue to write
numbers in expanded form on the board, and have students show the same
numbers in standard form on their Place Value Answer Boards. Reading the
numbers in standard form aloud will reinforce their understanding.
Show expanded form with decimals also, such as in the number 2.56, whose
expanded form is written as 2 + .5 + .06. Write this number in expanded
form on the board, and have students use their Place Value Answer Boards
to write the number in standard form. Students should demonstrate their
understanding by writing a 2 in the ones place, a 5 in the tenths place, and
so on. Ask students to read their numbers aloud so you can assess their
understanding.
Word Form to Standard Form—Display on the board whole or decimal
numbers written out in word form, such as “twelve and fifty-eight
hundredths,” or “three hundred forty-two thousand six hundred twentyone.” Have students write these numbers in standard form on their boards
and hold them up to share answers.
Teaching tip: If students have trouble writing longer numbers in standard
form, encourage them to break the word form into “chunks” to show the
placement of a comma or decimal.
For decimals in word form, as in the example 2 and one tenth (2.1), have
students break the word form into two chunks: before and after the word
and, which represents the decimal place. By circling or underlining the word
and in word form, students are able to see where the decimal appears in
standard form.
Rounding Numbers—Have students write a particular number on their
answer boards; for example: 4,356. Tell them to round the number to
different place values, such as tens, hundreds, and thousands. Notice how
the answers change depending on the value being rounded to.
You can also do the same thing with decimals on the reverse side.
A Contest of Numbers—Hold team competitions in the classroom. Split
the classroom into two teams. Pass out one board to the first person on each
team. Call out a number. The first person (or team) to write the number
correctly on a board and hold it up wins! Also, try using the reverse sides of
the boards for a daring decimal race!
