With Make a Ten, learners will develop mental math strategies for taking apart and putting together numbers. Improve understanding of place value by using different sizes of paper for ones, tens, and hundreds. #placeValue #math #arithmetic phet.colorado.edu/en/simulatio...
We have been using tens and ones to make two-digit numbers. Lots of keen learners showing great understanding of place value! #Numeracy #PlaceValue
This is in a broader conversation about what constitutes “enough”. Starting with the #Mathaphor of #PlaceValue … what is your base? How many in that base must accumulate to represent higher power? When is it sufficient compensation to Ones from whom Tens derive their worth?

I looked through some of my notes from way back when. Wow, time really is all kinds of messed up! #NCTMATL25 #PlaceValue
To my math folk at NCSM/NCTM this week, keep an eye out for #PlaceValue. I’d love to hear how people replicate and refine the ideas Marian Dingle (Atlanta family) and I explored prepping for Chicago 2020 and Atlanta 2021, you may even find sweatshirts out there.
Anyway, if you go - let me know.
Even when students use the standard algorithm for decimals, “tricks” can creep in — and many of them are representation-dependent
🤔 Curious what that means — and why it matters?

Often, fluency gets reduced to ➡️ "follow the steps."
❌ But what if those steps aren’t the most efficient way?
🎥 This week, I’m unpacking what fluency REALLY means.

I get to go to #nctmatlanta and thinking about #placevalue. Where are people going & what are you all doing to learn about the land?

Standards aren’t just about big ideas—many also have boundaries
Knowing where to find the limits keeps instruction focused & prevents pushing into later-grade content.

Lots of practical maths activities this week for developing & recapping place value in grade 4. Lots of group work & individual assessment at this time of year. All my resources on TES are free 😁 (@lkeeney01) #maths #activemaths #playinupperprimary #PYP #placevalue

In year 1, we are racing to see who is the first to fill 5 tens frames to get to 50! #maths #placevalue
Representing the number 10 today in Year 1. This week we will be representing numbers up to 20. #placevalue #primarystars
A slide - offering #PlaceValue as a Mathaphor signifying the overlap of mathematical and civic analysis. There are three questions to ask: Where am I (we) positioned? Who am I (are we) related to? How do I (we) express power? #SecondSundays #ChatTMB
These particular words today combine in a conception of #PlaceValue that I have been contemplating for several years.
#SecondSundays
#ChatTMB
What do you think of these questions?
1. Where am I (we) positioned?
2. Who am I (are we) related to?
3. How do I (we) express power?
Under an hour to go.
Those who know me well, I do hope you’ll have time to add your thoughts.
There may or may not (definitely may) be a few #PlaceValue connections in this #SecondSundays
#ChatTMB
This fits in a convo on #PlaceValue. you can’t have a single number (symbol) in two places at once. A 5 cannot be 5 ones and also 5 tens. Some ‘one’ else has to hold that spot.
And I remind, 1 in the hundreds obscures the work of 99 others doing what they can from where they’re at.
Year 1 have enjoyed their first week of Maths. Ask them what activities they have been doing on each table. #primarystars #placevalue
