What is Place Value?
The dictionary says that place value is the numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number.
That sounds really complicated but it is not. Each number digit has a value based on where it is. So if I have the number 24. Then the 2 is in the tens place and the 4 is in the ones place. It is super easy once you understand what each place value is.
There are several terms used in place value: standard, value, expanded, and picture.
Take the same number above standard is 24.
Expanded would be 20+4.
The value would be 2 tens, 4 ones.
This fun pumpkin spinning and writing place value works on building numbers from different place values. You can work on: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Hundred Thousands, Million, & Ten Million.
There are 5 pumpkin place value spinners in the set

Making the Place Value Pumpkin Spinners
You can use a pencil and paperclip to make the spinners. You can also use the clear spinners. The clear spinner are simple and easy to use.

Using the Place Value Pumpkin Spinners
You start by deciding how many spins they should do. You can see we have 10 place values to use. So you could do ten spins.
We did three spins and that you could not have the same place value again. So if you got the same place value you would spin again.
You can see we spun the hundreds and 7. So we got out the 700 place value arrow.

And three total spins not repeating the same place value got us two more numbers.

Make the Place Value Number
You make the place value number and then use can use the place value charts to write the number. The charts come and color and black and white.
You can see we put the place value chart in a sheet protector and use a dry erase marker
so we could use the chart over and over.

You can also use the place value arrow cards on the chart. They fit for each place value.

Pumpkin Single Spinner
You can use the single spinner for building numbers as well. For each number, you pull one place value and work down the numbers you have.

Pumpkin Single Spinner & Write on Chart
You can skip the arrow cards and have kids spin and make a number. It is a simple way to build numbers in the place value you are working on.

Plave Value Chart with Place Value Dice
If you love the chart but don’t like the arrow cards or spinners, then I recommend using place value dice! Kids can have fun rolling the dice and filling out the chart.
