What is in the Workshop?
Lesson 1: Why Place Value is Important
- What place value is and why it is so important for students to deeply understand our base 10 system
- How our place value system works, how the place value affects the value of the digits, and how to build this understanding in students
- How to develop the ideas of nearness and magnitude in students
- What it means to use place value relationships to solve problems
- Why place labeling is necessary but not sufficient
- How a robust place value understanding enhances numerical relationships, leading to creative and sophisticated use of strategies
LessonĀ 2: Making Sense of Place Value
- Small language tweaks that are so powerful in helping students understand the magnitude of numbers
- How to build multiplicative relationships with magnitude
- Which conversations to have with students that build flexible thinking about place value relationships
- How to help students make sense of scaling up and down by powers of ten
Lesson 3: Activities to Build Place Value
- Teacher moves that supportĀ looking for and making use of structureĀ (MPS 7)
- Lessons, games, and activities that are appropriate for your grade level
- Addition and subtraction strategies that make use of place value relationships
Lesson 4:Ā Problem Strings to Build Place Value
- How to represent student thinking on models that make place value relationships visible and accessible to all students
- Problem Strings that build and utilize place value relationships of nearness to friendly numbers
- Problem Strings that build deep understanding of the multiplicative nature of the base 10 system
- Problem Strings to build decimal understanding
- The sophisticated Flexible Factoring multiplicative strategy that makes use of the base 10 system

Ready for the end of nonsensical student answers?
If you are a math teacher, you know Place Value is essential. You notice its absence in every student answer that shot for the moon and somehow ended up on Mars. You also knowĀ the frustration of spendingĀ weeks covering Place Value and not seeing results.
You need this. Your students need this. Let's go.
