Real world application practice in place value!
In this activity students used 10 cards with pails and 10 cards with individual peanuts. Students were told the pails have 10 peanuts a piece in them. First I had students just practice representing different numbers with their picture cards. Next, I became the customer and told them I was going to their peanut factory and was ordering a specific number of peanuts. We did this several times before I had them work with a partner to do the same activity. It is a teachers dream come true when students beg to do the same practice activity because they enjoyed it so much. Who would have thought they would have so much fun pretending to sell peanuts! This Peanut Place Value activity is part of my First Grade Math Circus Activity Pack found on TeachersPayTeachers store. The free download for this pack is the Fact Family Act. This activity has students matching 3 juggling pins to create fact families. Thanks for visiting my blog today and feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think!
