This week we have learned about the number place value which we need to know how to teach and make the student understand what place value really is. From what I have learned during the class, we can use many learning kit to help us make the student understand about place value. That including using a card to show them which place value the number belongs to. This is including how to pronounce the number in words. For example 689 which in words we pronounce six hundreds and eighty nine. In pronunciation of numbers, we don’t have to mention the numbers place value like tens and ones.

For our group work, we have made a number expander which first it shows the number then when expended we can see the numbers place value. this expander can be use effectively while teaching at school but to make it easier to use we should make it bigger and build a flat form for it to so that the student can see clearly.

After that, we have been given a tutorial task which is to think of a way to show 201 and 120 to the students. We also need to find as many place value model we can find then give any comment to it whether it is suitable or not to be used in teaching.
