applying place value understanding- with the Place Value MAB iPad app

Supporting the Butterflies understanding and application of place value to read and write numbers, the first grade students utilize the Place Value MAB iPad app by Little Monkey Apps.

The activity choices within the app provide opportunities for students to use base ten blocks to "make" a verbally provided quantity (Listen and Make), manipulate provided base ten blocks to identify and record a quantity (How Many), and to manipulate base ten blocks to "make" a determined visual quantity (Make The Number).

Three levels of difficulty are available within each activity choice and encourage place value application within the student's individual stage of understanding and development.
