Place Value

​Learning Place Value is one of the most important building blocks to a good Math education. After all, without it, learning any other basic Math skill is virtually impossible. I want to see each student have the best opportunity for success in Math - and in life. Therefore, I’d like to share some amazing some great ideas for hands-on place value practice for Fall. If you are looking for some options to help your Elementary or Homeschool students learn Place Value, you’ll love these Craftivities I have to share. These making learning fun! Not only that, we’ll talk about how your students can color their Craftivities and turn them into classroom decor, cards, and even gifts - all designed to show off their work while celebrating the Autumn!

Fun Autumn Craftivities For Math
Place Value is one of those things that may not seem that important - unless you don’t understand it. Students who don’t have a handle on Place Value find it hard to learn any of the basic Math skills, let alone anything more complex. And we teachers and parents all know that the best way to learn is to practice.

Unfortunately, getting kids to practice is often easier said than done! 

That’s what’s so great about these fun seasonal Place Value Craftivities. Kid love the Autumn and I have some Fall-related Place Value Craftivities that they are sure to enjoy. You can choose from Apples, Autumn Leaves, or even a cute and decorative Mobile of leaves. Each of these fun Craftivities allows your students to show what they know about Place Value. And once done, they can create their Craftivities in all their favorite Autumn colors! 

These crafts are a lot of fun. They are a great filler when a student finishes other work early. And in addition to math practice, your students can use these in partner work and math workshops, too.

I hope that you will check these out and find yourself inspired by all the ways you can use these projects with your students!




Autumn Craftivities Also Make Great Decorations, Gifts, and Displays Autumn days are cool and crisp and filled with beautiful colors of yellow, red, and gold. Kids return to school and as the leaves begin to fall, your students know that the most fun holidays of the year are just around the corner. So when you bring all those wonderful colors and feelings of Autumn into your classroom, your students are sure to feel inspired! Especially when they get to show off their hard work in some of the Autumn decorations! 
Once completed and colored in all the beautiful colors of the fall, your students' Apples, Leaves, and mobiles are a wonderful way to decorate. Can you imagine the Fall wonderland you could create with Place Value leaves and apples on the walls and in the doorways? You could even pair them with a nice quote for a gorgeous hallway display to celebrate the Season. And be sure to hang some Autumn mobiles from the ceiling to really fill in that Autumn look. 
Your students can use their hard work to make Autumn-themed cards and gifts for family and friends. Not only that, but parents love to use them to decorate for Autumn at home, as well! 

One thing we teachers and parents have long known - kids are much more willing to practice Place Value and other Math skills when they are having fun. I hope that you and your students will enjoy these Autumn-Themed Place Value Craftivities as much as I enjoyed making them. I’d also love it if you shared some of the great ways you use these with your own students!
