Make place value hands-on and festive this November with the Thanksgiving Place Value Turkey Craft! Students build a turkey that represents a number in several ways, then display their work on a Thanksgiving bulletin board.

Students show their number with base ten blocks on the turkey craft and record it in standard, expanded, and word form. Recording sheet options make it easy to work with 2-digit, 3-digit, or larger numbers, so you can meet students right where they are.
