Give students a hands-on way to represent two-digit numbers with this Place Value Cake craft! Students build a cake to show a selected number using tens and ones, then complete additional number sense activities to demonstrate their understanding.

This interactive math craft provides meaningful practice with place value while creating a colorful finished project for a classroom display or bulletin board.

Students will practice:

• Representing two-digit numbers with tens and ones
• Identifying the value of each digit
• Showing numbers with base-ten blocks
• Comparing two-digit numbers
• Identifying numbers greater than and less than a given number
• Counting forward from a given number

This activity is ideal for first or second grade and can be used during a place value unit, for math review, or as part of a classroom number celebration.
