Place Value Guided Video Lesson, Partner Dice Game, Write a Check Activity

Need emergency sub plans? Or do you just need to reteach place value? This set includes guided video instruction, a partner dice game, and a BONUS check writing activity to help students learn standard, expanded & word forms. Place value is a HUGE standard in 4th grade and 5th grade, so let's give them lots of practice!

Let's be real.
We've all wished someone could just come and teach place value FOR us.

Well, your wish is granted, teacher friend!! ✨✨

I'll teach place value to your students with a video lesson and accompanied worksheet resources.

This mini video lesson is a great way to introduce place value to students who are brand new to the concept, or to review it as test prep before standardized testing.

It's also helpful for students who are struggling to write numbers in expanded, word, and standard number forms.

This mini-lesson also makes for a great reteach, test prep refresher, or differentiated assignment.

I designed the instructional video and resources for in-person, whole-group lessons that come before math center rotations - but if you're teaching online, you can easily adapt this activity by assigning everything in Google Classroom.

It’s so hard to move past the basics when students don’t understand place value. It’s a huge concept for upper elementary students!

To truly get it, they need a LOT of practice - as well as tools to make it more concrete for them.

That’s why this dice partner game and the added write a check activity are just what your students need to be successful.
