with the correct representation on the place value chart. Later,
they use the chart more abstractly to add two-digit numbers.
A Story of Units has several key mathematical tools that will
be used throughout a student’s elementary years.
The place value chart is a graphic organizer that students can use to see the coherence of place
value and operations between different units. Use of the place value chart begins in Grade 1 as
students learn about tens and ones, and continues through the use of decimals in Grade 5. The place
value chart is a flexible tool. Young students can place chips on the chart, and physically move them
as they bundle and group numbers. Older students can quickly create their own place value charts to
illustrate their thinking for a problem and show their understanding of more complex numbers.
In first grade, students use the chart extensively as they work to build their understanding of
numbers up to 100, and will often be asked to use the chart to illustrate what each numeral in a digit
represents.
Sample Problem from Module 4

(From Lesson 3):
both a correctly filled-in
Sue is writing the number 34 on a
place value chart as well as
place value chart. She can't
remember if she has 4 tens and 3
a drawing illustrating the
ones or 3 tens and 4 ones. Use a
difference between 34 and

43.
tens and ones are in 34. Use a
drawing and words to explain this to
Sue.
