Expanded Notation Photo Booth Props for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades

Share

Description

Expanded Notation is one of the most difficult concepts to teach in the Place Value Unit. I found a great way to cover this topic by tapping into my students’ love of all things selfie-related. Your students love learning about expanded notation with these props and they will remember it!

Rather than seeing one long equation to interpret, my students saw fun possibilities to create just the right “photo-booth” accessory combination. Once the look was created, students could show it off for the class and everyone had to write down the standard form of the number on a white board.

This was a favorite lesson!!!

There are 7 pages of photo booth props to use for your lesson or to put at a math station and one page of my notes on how I used this super fun resource.

•Pages 3-6 use values from 1-100,000 and can be used in 3rd-5th grades

•Page 7 uses values with tenths and hundredths for use in 4th-5th grades

•Page 8 uses values with thousandths for use in 5th grade

“This is such a great challenge activity for expanded notation. Such an engaging way for students to interact with this “form” of a number. Students loved creating different numbers or seeing what props made what number. Thanks for always creating engaging activities, that are TEK/standard aligned.”

“My students had so much fun with this activity that they wanted to keep doing it over and over! I had different students pick out props while everyone else wrote the number.”

In addition to my work in education, I also run a STEM-based Christmas Light Show business. When I'm not creating new math resources or working with teachers, I'm designing and fabricating light shows sequenced to music with my husband and our team. That business came about after our family was featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight. My son attends the University of Texas, Austin and I'm currently soaking up every last minute with my daughter, a high school senior.
