I came up with this idea because my students were really struggling with the place value blocks. They just couldn't get it, so I decided each student would make their own place value folder that they could use in class & take home too.
File Folder Instructions:
Fold the bottom of the file folder up about 3 inches* Cut along the crease up to the fold* Cut two more times on the left, & 2 more on the right(you will have six flaps)* Label each flap* Hold down three alternating flaps & tape down with clear packaging tape* Then, tape the three flaps that are left* Now you have 6 pockets.
Number Cards:
Fold the index cards horizontaly* Have students number the top of the cards 0-9 with a red marker* Have them number the bottom with zeros using a black marker.
Pockets for Number Cards:
To make my library pockets to hold the number cards, I use a mailing envelope. Seal the envelope, fold in half, & cut. You now have 2 pockets!
Great folder for place value & to teach the "value" of each digit!
Um, genius. I will totally use this next year!!

ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Not sure I will make one for each student but definitely a few to keep in my math center.

great idea, especially for my strugglers...any chance you could share the other documents you pasted into the folder?
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest, just in time to use with my 6 year old daughter during homeschool math today! Thanks for posting!
