Building with Base Ten Blocks

On Wednesday the students had an opportunity to put on their architect hats and create their own structures using base ten blocks.   After building, their next task was to count the total value of blocks they used.  Some students chose to count as they built. (See the first photo below.)  The math homework that came home today goes hand in hand with this activity.  We will use base ten blocks throughout the year for hands-on practice and understanding of place value.
