Place Value Chart Wall Display : 4th 5th Grades : Understanding Place Value

This is a fun and colorful place value chart that I am using in my upper elementary classroom. It brightens a room, and it's a great learning tool. It is a perfect visual for students to help them better understand the following standards:

• 4.NBT.A.1 - Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.
• 4.NBT.A.2 - Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

What places are included with the wall place value chart? I have included ones to hundred billions, as well as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths

What do the colors of the pencils represent? Each place has a different colored pencil.

What do the erasers on the pencils mean? The erasers on the whole numbers show the periods of the number. For example, all pencils in the ones/units period have a blue eraser beside them.

Can any other places be added? NO, I have used all of the my pencil colors, so I can not add a place value larger than hundred billions or smaller than thousandths.

If this is you.... "But I don't like to cut out pieces!".... this might not be the product for you. :-) LOL .... Yes, it does take some cutting. Some pieces are more tedious than others. The arrows, for example, are a lot more tedious than than the pencils (which are super easy to cut out)... but, I just want you to know that the finished product is such a good teaching tool and it can brighten up any wall! Laminate it and pull it out year after year.

What else is included with the place value chart?

• There are printable pieces that say "x10" and "Divided by 10" (it uses the division symbol on the actual card, not the word divided by). You can position these between the different places to show that each place either increases or decreases by 10x depending on which direction you move.
• There are addition symbols included if you want to do what I did. I laminated a piece of yellow construction paper and hung it below each place. I can then write digits and values on the yellow cards to help students better understand. When you do this, it turns your place value chart into an interactive display. I then put an addition symbol between each yellow piece. It's a great way to show expanded form.
• A title that says "Place Value" is included. It is multi colored and I hang it right above the chart.
• There are also 2 arrows included. One says whole numbers and points to the left. The other says parts of a whole and points to the right. I do not hang my arrow pointing to the right until I introduce decimals.
• There are also commas and a decimal point.

Please, if there is anything you do not understand about the description of this place value chart, I ask that you send me a message BEFORE you buy. I can do my best to answer your questions before you make a purchase. I want you to be happy.
