Building "Place Value" Schema

Last week our math lessons involved showing numbers in different ways. We used our unifix cubes, place value blocks, some online interactive base ten blocks, and a little story about Ten's Town on our Smartboard.  By Thursday, we just needed a little extra "pizzaz" during math time, so a trip to the grocery store provided just what we needed to "cement the concepts" in our schema files. It's amazing what food does for a lesson plan. This time, pretzels and Cheerios were that little "extra" that helped us better understand how to "regroup" numbers and express numbers in different ways as well as adding those two digit numbers together.
