Teaching tip

Print a blank chart and have a student write one number per row, lining each digit up under its place. Then print a reference chart so they can check where each place sits. That switch from writing to checking is where place value clicks.

How to use it

A place value chart lines the digits of a number up under their places, so students can see that the 3 in 3,482 means three thousands, not just three. Use a blank chart for writing numbers in, a reference chart to show what each place is worth, and an example chart to model one number placed correctly.

Blank, reference, or example

The Type control switches between the three. Blank gives six rows for students to write a number in each. Reference labels every place with its value, from ones up to your top place. Example places one number digit by digit so the whole class can read it together.

Pick the places

Choose how far the chart reaches, from hundreds up to millions. A chart to thousands suits grades 2 and 3; reach to hundred thousands or millions for grade 4 and 5 work with larger numbers. Printer-friendly keeps it light on ink, and Color adds indigo headers for the wall.
