I had my older students be \"product reviewers.\" They tested the different activities, then identified the best features and how the activity helped them learn. \r\n\r\nI have been working with a special education teacher on how she can incorporate the place value frames into her Number Talks. It is understandable to want to focus on correct answers, but sometimes we need to let students work through productive struggle. Choosing a wrong answer for an example and helping them fix the answer will provide a deeper understanding of the concepts. \r\n\r\nI am also using these materials to present a session on place value at the Kentucky Center of Mathematics conference this year. I am excited to share how this project has helped with this important foundational concept.","fullyFundedDate":1729112086005,"projectUrl":"project/putting-place-value-in-its-place/8868546/","projectTitle":"Putting Place Value in Its Place","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Eerenberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5775018_orig.jpg?crop=837,837,x0,y2&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728480604949","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5775018"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57790","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":185,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":57790,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Catlettsburg Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Catlettsburg Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/boyd-county-public-school-district/catlettsburg-elementary-school/57790"}
