Understanding (or not understanding) place value will follow students along their math journey. Participants will explore the K-2 standards progression while learning ways to guide students to reason about numbers. We will share ways to elicit student thinking to deepen conceptual understanding and avoid common misconceptions. Learn how we have used routines, centers, counting collections, thinking classroom tasks, and assessments to support students to reason and reflect about place value.
