I found a great way to make learning about place value hands-on and very motivating. This activity is a great pre-teach before introducing math manipulatives.
The teacher calls out how many hundreds, tens, and ones. The student places that amount of circular shaped cereal on the corresponding marshmallow's toothpick. The follow up worksheet, here, lets them write the numbers they have made.
Also found a great way to teach numerical order in a hands-on way. Put numbers on pop sticks- can be modified to include the numbers you are working on- and have students place in order by making a playdoh snake to stick the numbers into....love it!
Plan on using both next week- the place value activity with my first graders and the play doh number line with my kindergarteners. Will let you know how they go!
