Many teachers today feel like they have no time for classroom games, particularly when it comes to heavily-assessed math skills, but Dr. Nanci Smith maintains that is precisely where games can make teachers jobs easier. Properly designed games are a simple way for teachers to differentiate math instruction and help students learn to solve problems rather than just memorize patterns or steps to do math, according to Smith. Smith is a former college and high-school math teacher who now is a consultant in the areas of differentiated instruction and mathematics.

Teaching place value (the value of where the digit is in the number, based on the location of the digit) plays a very important roll in understanding addition and subtraction with regrouping.

In this place value unit, the idea of regrouping and memorizing steps is NOT the focus. We will focus more on these steps in Units 3 and 4. In this math unit on place value to 1,000, students will learn to: *Determine the value of numbers in the ones, tens, or hundreds place *Count and show numbers within 1,000 in base ten *Show and read numbers within 1,000 in base ten *Compare numbers within 1,000 using <, > or = *Mentally add and subtract 10 and 100 from numbers within 1,000 Unit 7: Time.
