Edible Place Value

Last week we started learning about expanded form in relation to place value.  We had already used place value blocks to represent 3 digit numbers.  In order to mix it up and make it more fun, we used crackers to represent hundreds, pretzel sticks to represent tens, and marshmallows to represent ones.  We used an interactive dice on the smartboard to create 3 digit numbers that the students had to represent with the crackers, pretzels, and marshmallows and write on their white boards in expanded form.
