Renaming is the most important skill for students to develop their understanding of in place value. Yet there are very few resources available that allow students to visualise the idea of units within units. Frustrated with the lack of resources in this critical area I decides to create my own. In my classroom I re-modelled a fishing tackle box to represent 1000 and then had 10 compartments within the box to represent hundreds and then includes tens and ones.
Over 15 years later, I have developed a resource for classrooms that is much more user friendly. I call the resource the ‘place value renaming box’. It features a rewritable lid where you can record what unit the box is representing for example 1 thousand or 1 one.
Then inside the flip lid there are 10 x 6㎤ transparent cubes with rewritable labels that allow you to record the size of the unit (form example 1 hundred or 1 tenth)
Inside each transparent box are 10x bead ‘rings’ that have 10 beads on each. These ‘rings’ represent 1 ten each(or they could be 1 hundredth if using for decimal renaming) and each bead represents 1 (or 1 thousandth if representing decimals).
The Place Value Renaming Box is the perfect resource for modelling renaming with your class in a concrete representation.
