Math Facts Journal
The blog of MathFactLab
Because MathFactLab is dedicated to helping students develop math fact fluency, this blog will mostly be dedicated to the the teaching of math facts. But as a fifth-grade math teacher, I also have much more content to cover than just math facts, so I thought I would use this platform to share some of the resources I have developed over the years.
At my school, we start fifth grade math each year with our place-value unit during which students should develop comfort with decimal place values down to the thousandths. This is a little game I've developed to help them build that place-value fluency while also reinforcing some math vocabulary.
You'll see when you click the pdf link below that I've included 3 versions: one with five categories, one with seven and one with nine. I've also included a place-value chart designed to put dice on. This chart is already on the page for the five and seven-category version, but there isn't sufficient room on the page for it on the nine-category version.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.1Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
