Math in Lower Elementary

The students are learning about the importance of place value in math. Many students are using the Stamp Game to interpret concretely the difference between units, tens, hundreds, and thousands. This material is a favorite of the students!  It is typically used for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and helps the students to absorb the consistency of place value.  The children practice writing their numbers by recording their answers in workbooks.  The students will use the math materials for a period of time as they move towards abstraction, when they will complete the math work without the assistance of the Stamp Game material.
