Last week, students were challenged to build place value houses in teams of four. Students had to use 100's blocks, 10's sticks, and one's cubes to build houses with a given value. To make the task a little more challenging, students did not have the exact number of hundreds blocks they needed to make their houses. They had to use 10's sticks or find another way to get their house to equal the correct value. Later, we made houses with greater values. Check out the amazing, creative work they did:
And this is why you're the teacher and I am not. What a cool idea! The kids look happy to be doing it. Thanks so much.
