Place Value Snake
I saw this simple, effective idea at web.gnowledge. To help kids understand place value and numbers in expanded form, create a place value snake - genius! Cut a long strip of paper, fold it accordion style, and fill in the blanks (thousands, plus sign, etc.) Add a tongue and eyes if you'd like!

ReplyDeleteJust fold it like an accordion and you shouldn't have any problem :)
