Place Value

Math

• The child learned the concept of place value, understanding that the position of a digit determines its value in a number.
• They were able to identify and write numbers up to 100 using place value blocks.
• The child practiced regrouping or trading ones for tens and tens for hundreds to understand how numbers are composed.
• They also learned to compare numbers using the greater than and less than symbols.

For continued development in place value, encourage the child to explore interactive online games or use manipulatives such as base-ten blocks to reinforce their understanding. You can also create a place value scavenger hunt where they have to find objects around the house and write the corresponding numbers using place value notation.
