What educators are saying
My kids had fun making their own person/creature.
They were very creative in what they did.
After they created, they had to write the number that was reperesented by their creation.
It was a good way for me to see how well they were understanding place value.
My kids really enjoyed getting to work on math in a "fun" way! This resource helped clear any misconceptions within my classroom!

EACH of the above resources includes the following components:
- 16 place value task cards

- Answer Key
- Templates to create place value friend
Task Cards/Presentation
- Use the 16 place value task cards like task cards or Scoot. Place them around the room and have students travel to each card while filling out answers on their recording sheet –OR-
- Use the place value task cards in a center or small group, as early finisher tasks or morning work
- Use the PowerPoint presentation to do a whole-class activity. Present the slides one at a time and give students time to figure out ‘how many’ each friend is made up of. Students will record answers on the recording sheet. Teacher can go over answers together as a class.
Place Value Friend – Create Your Own
- Print out enough copies of all templates. Students will create the place value friend and then write ‘how many’ – perfect for a bulletin board display!
- To up the challenge while students create their own place value friend, write a number on each of the cards before passing them out. Students will have to create the friend that you assign them – use as an informal assessment tool!
- Please note: The ‘create your own friend’ activity will take some time because of the cutting – keep this in mind while planning!
- Tip: Assign students to practice cutting skills by cutting out their base ten block templates as morning work and storing them in a baggie until it’s time to complete the activity.
