Expanded Form Place Value Number Sense Activity Foldable Practice Worksheet
🎉 Place Value Accordion – A Hands-On Math Activity! 🎉📏
Make place value come alive with this interactive accordion foldable that helps students visualize numbers in both standard form and expanded form. With simple folds and writing practice, students get a concrete way to connect digits to their value—all while having fun!
✨ How It Works:
Students write the digits, then:
🔹 Fold back on the solid line
🔹 Fold forward until the numbers meet
🔹 Reveal place value in a clear, visual way!
📂 What’s Included:
Six versions to fit your students’ needs:
- Place value written out (Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones)
- Place value abbreviated (Th, H, T, O)
- No place value notation
➡️ Each of the three versions comes with and without zero placeholders, giving you six total options.
📊 Differentiation Made Easy:
✔ Lines are in gray (so student writing stands out)
✔ Cut on the dotted line, fold on the solid line
✔ Scaffolded versions from ones up to millions
✔ Adaptable for younger students—just trim off higher place values!
🎯 Perfect For:
- Math centers or stations
- Interactive notebooks
- Small group instruction
- Independent practice
- Review and reinforcement
Give your students a hands-on, foldable tool to truly understand place value—with the Place Value Accordion!
Would you like me to also add a student-friendly character/mascot (like “Value the Place Value Robot 🤖”) to make it extra engaging for younger learners, similar to how I did with the Math Monkey Knockout?
