Do you need a way to help students really understand that one number can be represented in different ways? This Composing and Decomposing Numbers presentation makes that concept fun and interactive with a vibrant, comic-style Mathville City theme.

Students step into the role of “city builders” as they compose and decompose numbers with base-10 blocks, write them in expanded form, and practice using word form too. The lesson is designed with an I Do → We Do → You Do model: first you model, then you work on examples together, and finally students practice independently.

What’s inside:

• A 19-slide presentation with colorful, comic-style graphics
  
• A “Today’s Mission” to build Mathville City using numbers
  
• Guided practice where students try different ways to compose the same number
  
• Interactive Turn & Talk prompts to encourage math talk
  
• Teacher options for hands-on practice (cut-and-paste slides, manipulatives, or drawing)
  
• A built-in formative assessment/exit ticket with both a 3-digit and 4-digit problem
  

Use it for whole-group instruction, guided math, centers, or a quick formative check. This presentation is print and go, kid-approved, and teacher-friendly—perfect for making place value meaningful and fun!
