We’ve been learning about place value of numbers as a part of our Maths activities.

Our activities have taught us that the value of a digit depends on its place, or position, in the number.

We’ve made number lines, placed numbers in order from highest to lowest and lowest to highest, played the Banker’s Game – all different ways to learn about the value of numbers.

Today each of us were given different amounts of MAB equipment – our task was to work out the value of each of our own MAB equipment and then place ourselves along a line in numerical order. We could work out the value of our OWN equipment but putting ourselves along a number line proved more challenging – we’re going to practise again tomorrow.

Here’s a few photos of our number line.
