Place Value House Building (3-digit)

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

This hands-on activity helps students practise understanding and representing 3-digit numbers using different place value representations. Designed for students in years 2 and 3.

Learning Objectives:

Identify and match place value representations of 3-digit numbers (e.g., MABs, number in words, partitioned number).
Develop understanding of place value and how it relates to three-digit numbers.
Enhance fine motor skills through cutting, pasting, and organising tiles.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given place value tiles representing MABs, the number in words, and the partitioned number. They will match each representation to ‘build’ three houses, with bricks and windows as guides for placement. Students cut out the tiles and paste them in the correct spots to complete the activity. This interactive task helps reinforce their understanding of place value while making learning fun.
