Place Value Acorn Craft

Students represent an assigned or student-selected number in multiple ways. Depending on the template you choose, students may show:

• Standard form
• Expanded form
• Word form
• Base ten blocks
• The value of each digit
• Even or odd

The place value craft can be used with different number ranges, making it easy to differentiate for students in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade.

Fact Fluency and Equation Acorns

The acorn craft can also be used for equation practice. Students solve problems directly on the sections of the acorn before assembling their finished math craft.

Options are included for:

• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division
• Double-digit addition
• Double-digit subtraction

This allows the entire class to create a coordinated fall display while practicing different skills or operations.

Easy to Differentiate

Choose the skill and template that best match each student’s needs. Some students can represent 2-digit numbers while others work with 3-digit or 4-digit numbers. You can also assign different operations or equation types without changing the overall appearance of the finished bulletin board.
