Today in Room 207 we focused on place value. The students that I have in my math class are very low.  Many things we need to learn or go over do not come teenager friendly. The resources for topics are more focused towards K-8.  To help make things more towards the high school level,  I have become obsessed with having my students make foldables!  Foldables also help visual learners as well as kinesthetic learners. They are great resources for students to look back at when they are doing homework and studying for assessments.

My place value foldable came from an idea that I saw on Pinterest (another obsession of mine...like most teachers).  This one I saw something similar but altered it to include tenths, hundredths and thousandths. I also took away "base ten blocks" since we don't use those but added an area to write down what "base ten" means.
