More Than Tens and Ones: Supporting Students’ Place Value Understanding

Place value is far more than just "ones, tens, and hundreds." For many of us, school focused on the procedure of place value rather than its power. It is time to uncover the big ideas that transform how students perceive numbers.

Join us for an engaging session where we peel back the layers of place value. We will explore the developmental progression of how students build number sense and identify the "ah-ha" moments that bridge the gap between counting and calculating. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective, a set of high-leverage routines to jumpstart your math block, and classroom-ready games that make deep conceptual work feel like pure play.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Identify Core Concepts: Articulate the "Big Ideas" of place value, moving beyond simple column identification to understanding unitizing and base-ten properties.
  • Trace Student Progressions: Recognize the developmental stages of place value understanding to better differentiate instruction for diverse learners.
  • Implement High-Leverage Routines: Facilitate daily math routines that build number sense and flexibility without adding hours of prep time.
  • Integrate Game-Based Learning: Utilize specific, research-backed games that reinforce place value concepts and increase student engagement.

Intended Audience: Teachers, Special Educators, Interventionists, Math Coaches & Specialists, School Administrators
