Place Value Charts: These place value charts are an ideal way to explore place value. They make excellent Wall Displays and really good for Place Value Games. Use them to help students learn how to read large numbers.

These Large Number Place Value Charts are the natural extension of my Hundreds, Thousands & Millions Charts.

Set them up on a wall display, on the classroom door or in the classroom window. Change the numerals every day and pretty soon the students will be bringing their friends to read really big numbers.

Enjoy!!!
