Do you feel like your students are on a merry-go-round when it comes to rounding? This lesson will give your student control of the “ride” and give them tools to use when rounding.

Your students will “hop their way” into understanding place value with this fun and active game! In this lesson, they will learn that changing the order of the digits in a number changes its value.

Use this lesson to introduce the tool of base-ten blocks to your students. This scaffolded EL support lesson can be used as a stand-alone activity, or prior to teaching Three-Digit Addition with Base-Ten Models.
