Teach your students to read, record and understand numbers and how they work with this poster set. They have been designed as the perfect visual to keep displayed in your classroom all year round to support your teaching and student’s learning when it comes to place value and our number system.
Place value is a vital mathematical concept but can be a difficult one for students. It is the key to understanding our number system and so many other mathematical skills depend on a solid understanding of it. It is a concept that needs to be explicitly taught and revised for students to gain a deep understanding.
Display these posters according to the size of the numbers your students are working with and add to your display as the year progresses and students begin to work with larger numbers.
