The Power of Ten© laminated Place Value and Problem Solving cards contains 16 lettered sets – one set per two students – designed to demonstrate the expanded form of a number, to make the connection between place value and meaning, and to improve students’ mental math skills. Place Value Strips can be very valuable for teaching children how to mentally add numbers from left to right and for teaching regrouping. Students should have access to these place value strips whenever they are solving problems. They should be taught to add and show their work from left-to right as well as the line-them-up way. They should also be encouraged to add mentally whenever they can rather than being forced to show their regrouping by showing the line-them-up method and then showing the “carry” marks.
