Hands-on learning is a fun, interactive way to review or discover new content in class. This week we used some math centers to review concepts on place value and using Base 10 blocks to represent numbers. Students used the playing cards by working with partners and taking turns drawing a card from their stack. They had to place their card in the place (up to millions) that would create the largest number possible. The other station was using the Base 10 blocks to model numbers in standard form and then writing it in word and expanded form as well, which is confusing for some students when all the forms are together.
