Math Worksheets and Lesson Plans - Place Value

Place Value

I take quart size Ziploc bags and with a permanent magic marker, I draw a line down the middle, and I number each bag with a different LETTER sticker. I then put some 10's and 1's (base 10 blocks) into each bag. They are to move the 10's to the left side and the one's to the right side, keeping the bag closed. They never open these bags. They determine the proper amount and say it to their partner. The partner checks the key on which the letters are written and the proper answer is written. They take turns and check each other. One time I wrote the answer on the back of the letter sticker so that they could see the answer if they turned the bag over, but that was too easy to "cheat".
