Place Value and Number Sense
I have found flash cards to be an irreplicable tool – not because rote memorization and quick recall speed is king. But because there are so many ways to make them fun!
Quick vocab refresher for parents:
Place value refers to the value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in the number 352, the “3” stands for 300, the “5” stands for 50, and the “2” stands for 2. Understanding place value helps kids grasp how numbers work, from simple counting to more complex math.
Number sense is a child’s ability to understand, relate, and work with numbers. It includes recognizing how numbers are connected, comparing sizes of numbers, and knowing basic math facts like addition and subtraction. Strong number sense forms the foundation for math success in the future.
