First Grade Place Value Activity and Center

Teaching Everyday Math is a task in itself.  I love the games, but the spiraling curriculum is not the best for students who really need a little more time to grasp concepts.  
Today was place value... Enough said....  
I came up with this little activity...well actually Naquan on of my students, helped my brain to come up with the entire activity. We all loved it.  I typed it up and here it is for you guys!  Naquan... I feel and see a great teacher, engineer, or graphic artist in your future!!!

  5. This is great thanks. Did you notice though that there is a typo on the third page? It is on the third page in the heading "Place Value Parnters". Just thought you'd like to know so you can fix it up.

  6. Nope, did not notice and have been using it for a month! I can't believe my students didn't notice. They usually tell me because I am the WORST speller. I will fix it and repost! Thanks!
