Base Ten Posters with Expanded Notation

These posters represent numbers to 30 using Base Ten blocks. The posters include the numerical and word from as well the quantity of tens and ones and expanded notation. The posters can also be folded in half to create flashcards. Once they are folded in half, glue the back sides together and laminate. Students can use the pictorial model and record the number of tens and ones and its expanded notation or vice versa.

Modeling Larger Numbers

During our last unit of Place Value, the students worked in groups to create three flap foldables to record various ways to write numbers. The students drew out number cards and recorded the number on the top flap. Under the flap they drew the number as sticks (tens) and dots (ones), identified the number of tens and ones, the expanded notation, and the written form. As they worked, they discussed which number was the greatest or least and justified their answer using the number of tens and ones each number had. They then compared their numbers with other groups.

Base Ten Posters with Expanded Notation

 

To help my students review place value,  created these Base Ten Posters with Expanded Notation. These posters represent numbers to 30 using Base Ten blocks. The posters include the numerical and word from as well the quantity of tens and ones and expanded notation. The posters can also be folded in half to create flashcards. Once they are folded in half, glue the back sides together and laminate. Students can use the pictorial model and record the number of tens and ones and its expanded notation or vice versa. I plan on printing them, laminating them, and binding them as a book. The students will use the book during math tubbing time to practice building numbers and identifying the tens and ones. The posters are available on my TPT store.

Place Value Initials

***UPDATE: You can now download the templates on my TPT store.***

The students practiced building larger numbers using paper Base Ten Blocks by creating the initial of their first name. After building their initial, they recorded how many tens and ones their letter contained and then wrote the expanded notation.

Place Value Pumpkin Patch

The students created Place Value Pumpkin Patches to help them count larger numbers by tens and ones. They first built various numbers using candy pumpkins. They then took a gallery walk to count one anothers' pumpkins. They then recreated the pumpkin patch number on paper ten rods by painting with their thumbprint. The students then wrote how many rows of ten and how many ones were in their pumpkin patch and how much those numbers were worth in expanded notation.
