I saw this simple, effective idea at web.gnowledge. To help kids understand place value and numbers in expanded form, create a place value snake - genius! Cut a long strip of paper, fold it accordion style, and fill in the blanks (thousands, plus sign, etc.) Add a tongue and eyes if you'd like!
I love projects like this: cheap, easy, and effective. Thanks for sharing!

Is there a secret to getting the folds done easily? Having trouble getting it to work nicely.
ReplyDeleteJust fold it like an accordion and you shouldn't have any problem :)
DeleteWould you recommend putting the eyes at the thousands place and the tail at the ones place?
ReplyDeleteyes, definitely
