Place Value Initials

This week we have been discussing place value in math.  We are learning about ten longs and units and we have practiced by counting manipulatives.  The kids have done really well!  Today we made our initials out of paper ten longs and units.  Then, the students counted how much their initial was "worth".  They had a blast!

I found this great idea on another first grade blog- Crayon Bits!  She has wonderful ideas!
