I have finally decided to join Teachers Pay Teachers! My original hesitation about joining was that I didn't feel I had anything truly original to sell. But now that I've been making a lot of my own activities, especially being in a new grade, I feel pretty good about it! :) My first unit is on Place Value. While I loved Cara's Place Value Packet of Fun in first grade, my second graders need a little more advanced practice. For example, some of the questions on our district test require them to know that 521 is not only 5 hundreds, 2 tens, and 1 ones, but it is also 52 tens. Crazy, right?! I feel like that's super advanced for 2nd grade {at least at this point in the year}. But since it's required, I need to figure out a fun way to teach it! So I started the basic place value intro with a simple place value poster.
I already have made and plan on making more activities to keep practicing this topic. This is where YOU come in. Since it's my first ever tpt unit, I would LOVE some feedback/suggestions on what types of activities you would like to see in it. I am going to randomly select two winners from the comments of this post to give the unit to when I'm finished! Until then, I would love it if you would follow my new Teachers Pay Teachers store! While you're there, grab the place value poster freebie! :)
