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.


Place Value Clip Cards with Expanded Notation

This Place Value Clip Card set is meant to be used as independent practice during math stations or during small group tutoring. Students count the Base Ten Blocks and clip the correct expanded notation answer with a clothes pin or paper clip.

Option 1: The students can use the corresponding recording sheet to draw a pictorial model of your card and write the expanded notation.

Option 2: The teacher can add a sticker on the back of the card corresponding to the correct answer so the students can check their own answer.


Base Ten Flashcards to 100


This is a set of Place Value Flashcards to 100. They include five different ways to represent the numbers: pictorial representation with Base Ten Blocks, numerical form, number of Tens/Ones, expanded notation, and word form. Ideas for using this resource include:
  • Play “Around the World” to review
  • Create a Tree Map to show various ways to represent numbers
  • Play “Concentration” to match various ways to represent numbers
  • Build numbers using manipulatives
  • Order cards from greatest to least, least to greatest

Several people have asked for Printable Base Ten Blocks to go along with my lesson on creating Place Value Initials. This set includes a printable sheet of tens, ones, and hundreds in black and white.

Place Value Initials Download

One of my most popular posts and downloads ever is my Place Value Initials activity. To help the students practice building larger two digit numbers with Base Ten Blocks, the students build the first letter of their name with printable Base Ten Blocks. The students then record the number of tens and ones in their name in expanded notation. Click here to download.

Playdough Art Based Station

To give the students more opportunity to make sculptures, we have a Playdough Station. In this Art Based Station, students can make any sculpture they want. Below are some examples of students who practiced making masks with the dough.


Radial Patterns Station

Kinder through Second Grade students practice creating radial patterns using wooden pattern blocks. Below are some examples of their work:



Art Critique Station

As we study different artists, students have been taught to give verbal and written art critiques using appropriate vocabulary. In one of the stations, students use postcard size copies of various artworks to write art critiques. As a part of their art critiques, the students are required to include the Elements of Art and Principles of Design.

Art Career Station

Another station that the students may choose to work in is an Art Career Station. In this Art Based Station, the Kindergarten and First Graders choose a Bubble Map to record various art careers on. As they take notes, they discuss the jobs with their tablemates. For second through fifth graders, they choose one specific art career and record it in the middle of their Thinking Map. They then brainstorm various tasks that job must do. They record their thoughts about that career on the Thinking Map.

Artist Quotes Stations

One of the Art Based Stations that third through fifth grade may choose to work on when they finish work early or on Fridays is an Artist Quotes Station. In this station, the students choose a quote by a historically famous artist. On a template provided, they write the artist name followed by the quote. Once they have completed their notes section, they discuss with their table group and write down what they think the quote means. This station was created to get the students talking about artists and to promote critical thinking. The cards that I use can be found here and here from Teachers Pay Teachers. I printed them two per page to minimize the size.



Artist Research Station

On most Fridays, the students work in Art Based Learning Stations. One of the stations is Artist Research Writing. In this station, the students choose an artist to read about. The artist cards that I provide are from Teachers Pay Teachers and can be found here. There are several sets of these available. After reading, the students write key facts about their artist on a Thinking Map, typically a Circle Map. They then use the Circle Map to help them write sentences to summarize the information read about the artist.
