Place Value Ideas: Using the place value card we integrated math with writing and discussion. I had the students make up their own problems in written form and standard form to trade with a classmate. After they traded assignments they worked each others problems which brought up conversations about the problems they created. They needed a clear understanding of the place value periods in order to create their own examples. Students led students. The conversations were great.

Note from Greta: Hi ladies - Maybe you all already know this, but it was news to me so I thought I would share. The website harcourtschools.com has online support activities for the chapters you are teaching from your textbooks that is FREE! 1. Go to http://www.harcourtschool.com/ 2. Click on the red box "The Learning Site" 3. Click on "Math" 4. Click on "Harcourt Math" and then on the top pictures of our math series 5. Click on your grade level The site is organized by chapters and has supporting activities that the students can do online or maybe on the Promethean board as a group.

Education City also has great support things, but I have found that with the younger grades, some of the activities are more difficult than what they have been practicing in the book. Sometimes going down a grade level and working on the same standard has been helpful.
