More Activities on Number Sense and Place Value

These activities supplement the resources in our Number Sense and Place Value Feature.  They help to address three important aspects of place value: ordering, position and amount.  For more details about these aspects, please see the article How Can I Support the Development of Early Number Sense and Place Value?, contained within the feature.

100 Square Jigsaw

Age 5 to 7
