Picture Cards for Place Value

This activity has been designed for children with neurodiversity who need a concept presented in a variety of ways and the novelty of something new.

I used these cards after my child had been introduced to the decimal system and built the 45 layout or “Birds Eye View”

Numbers use the Montessori color- coding system

Includes numbers 

1-9

10,20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90

100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600,700, 800, 900

1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000. 8000, 9000

I introduced the topic of the ocean and asked him to name some things in the ocean. I then presented 8 cards at random and together we retrieved the quantity. Dependent on the child you might want to create a story about what you have made e.g. “the 2 crabs were dancing beside the 100 fish”
