This is the first place value chart most kids need: three big columns for hundreds, tens and ones, with room to write eight numbers. The model row shows 352 as 3 hundreds, 5 tens and 2 ones. In the Common Core standards, 1st graders learn that two-digit numbers are tens and ones (1.NBT.B.2), and 2nd graders extend that to hundreds (2.NBT.A.1).
Pair the chart with something kids can hold, like base-ten blocks, bundled straws or coins. Build a number with the objects, then write the digits in the chart. Ask your child to tell you what each digit is worth: the 5 in 352 is worth 50, not 5.
Tips for using it
- Build the number with blocks or bundles of ten before writing it in the chart.
- Write a number with a zero, like 307, and ask what the zero is doing.
