We reviewed addition and subtraction with Take a Card. Then I introduced the concept of place value with tens and ones with base 10 blocks. He seemed very nervous about starting something new, but was successful! I modeled rolling a die and adding units (ones) until making or going over 10. Then I would trade the units for a ten rod. Patrick and I then took turns doing this using the base-10 blocks. Next, we worked together grouping units into tens and ones and then determining the number (56, 33, etc.). We used different colored highlighters to illustrate the groups of tens. He will finish the paper for homework. Lastly, he played an online game to determine the number value for a base-10 representation. We practiced process of elimination and checking our work to make sure everything was right. Patrick did great!!!
