Place Value Skills Practiced
Students represent an assigned or student-selected number in four different ways:
- Standard Form: Write the number using digits.
- Expanded Form: Show the value of each digit.
- Word Form: Write the number using words.
- Base Ten Blocks: Represent the number using place value models.
These different representations help students practice understanding how numbers can be written and modeled.
Differentiated Place Value Practice
This Thanksgiving Place Value Activity can be used with different number ranges to match your students’ needs.
Students working with 2-digit numbers can practice representing tens and ones, while students ready for larger numbers can extend their place value practice.
Choose the number that best matches your current math unit or individual student needs.
How the Cornucopia Math Craft Works
Students begin with a number selected by the teacher or student.
They represent that number using standard form, expanded form, word form, and base ten blocks on the printable fruit pieces.
After completing the math practice, students cut and assemble their cornucopias.
For a simpler option, use the included print-and-color version without the additional cutting and assembling.
