Fire House Place Value Chart

January 13, 2016 By Deirdre

Kids love fire trucks! They really like all kinds of community helpers and their vehicles. JDaniel is working on place value at school so, I made a Fire House Place Value Chart for Kids for him to use. I thought you might want to use it with your children too.

JDaniel is working on three digit numbers. I made him a place value chart with three doors. Since many of you have children that are focusing on two digit numbers, I made a second place value chart for you. (If you click on the link for either place value chart, you will get both charts and a set of fire trucks to place numbers on.)

You know how much alike using dice in math activities. This place value chart can be explored with dice. It can also be played with small cards that you have written the numbers 0-9 on. Let me share with you how each game could be played.

Using Dice with the Place Value Chart

You will need to use as many dice at your place value chart has open firehouse doors. What type of die will depend on your children’s comfort level with numbers?

Hint:

I like to start with dice with dots to start with. Children can count the number of dots to find the number they will need to put in each door. Older children like my son can easily identify numerals or dots. I really like the ten-sided die. They include the numbers 0-9.

Using Numbers on Cards with the Place Value Chart

You can easily make number cards using sections of blank index cards or number flash cards. We made simple number cards on index cards.

The number cards can be stacked in one of the corners of the place value chart. Children can select number cards of the stack. They can then arrange the number cards in any order they like.

Whether you use card or dice, the key to using the place value charts is knowing the number you are building. Children will need to know what place each number is in and how to say the number.

Example: 389 has three hundred, eight tens and nine ones.

Being able to read it as three hundred eighty-one instead of three, eight, nine is important. Building seven to ten numbers would be helpful in helping your kids build an understanding of place value.

Here are some other fire truck or firefighter themed math activities we have enjoyed :

Place Value Games Played with Pool Noodle Place Cards

July 5, 2015 By Deirdre

I have become kind of obsessed with finding ways to use every section of each of the pool noodles I purchase for crafting, science and math activities this summer. In previous posts I have shared a counting to ten math game, a pool noodle airplane, a pool noodle shark craft, and a batting tee pool noodle idea. Today I have a math activity that focus on place value. I am calling this set of place value games Pool Noodle Place Cards. The numbers are set in pool noodles with wedges cut out of two of their sides. You can tell your children this is just the way you would put place cards in card holders if you were having a fancy dinner or party.

There are several ways to have your children build numbers to show understanding of that numbers place value in these place value games. Each of these place value games could be played to work on one, two, or three digit numbers.

Here are the Place Value Games and How to Play Them

Roll a Number

This game can be played by one or two people. The first step is to roll the dice and to use the numbers that come up on them to decide what numbers can to be built with them. The second step is to select the number they are going to build.

For Example:

If you roll a 3 and 4 with two die, you could build a 34 or a 43.

Next they will need to find the correct number cards to match the number they have selected and place them into the pool noodle place card holders in the right order. Finally they will need to read the number out loud.
If you are playing this game with two people, one person can roll the dice and select the number. The second person can build the number. The dice roller can check to see if the number was built correctly. The builder can read the number out loud.

Number Card Selection Face Down

Cards for each of the numbers 0-9 can be placed upside down on a table. A player can select one, two, or three cards depending on how many digits their number will have. After deciding on what number they are going to build, they can place the numbers in the pool noodle place card holders.

If you are going to play this game with two players, one person can pick out the cards and one can build the number.

Hint: For this game as well as the game below you may want to have more than one card displaying each number.

Number Card Selection Face Up

A player can pick out any numbers they want to build a number with. Then they place those numbers in the pool noodle place card and read the whole number out loud.

Before you start the game you will need to decide if the numbers can be placed back on the table or placed in an already used pile.

Call Out a Number

One player can call out a number with one, two, or three digits and the second player will need to build it. After a few numbers have been built, they can trade jobs.
