🎉 Hello Class! Today, we are going to embark on a fun adventure in the magical land of Numbers!
Imagine you are a brave explorer setting out to discover hidden treasures in the Enchanted Number Forest. This forest is filled with amazing creatures who can help us understand how numbers work!
As you begin your adventure, you meet Benny the Bear. Benny loves to collect shiny stones. Each shiny stone represents a number. Benny has a special way of counting his stones using place value.
Benny explains that every number has a place that tells us how much it is worth. For example:
Together, those places make 23!
What if Benny finds 45 shiny stones?
Can you show me how many tens and ones Benny has?
What happens if he finds 67 more stones?
Can we build this number together using our place value blocks?
Today, we’ll be using place value blocks, drawing numbers, and playing games to help us discover the exciting world of place value! Are you ready to join Benny and become a place value expert? Let’s gather our tools and dive in!
Let’s start our adventure with some place value games that will make us the best explorers we can be! 🌟
