Yet there are very few resources available that allow students to visualise the idea of units within units. Frustrated with the lack of resources in this critical area I decides to create my own. In my classroom I re-modelled a fishing tackle box to represent 1000 and then had 10 compartments within the box to represent hundreds and then includes tens and ones. Over 15 years later, I have developed a resource for classrooms that is much more user friendly. I call the resource the ‘place value renaming box’. It features a rewritable lid where you can record what unit the box is representing for example 1 thousand or 1 one. Then inside the flip lid there are 10 x 6㎤ transparent cubes with rewritable labels that allow you to record the size of the unit (form example 1 hundred or 1 tenth) Inside each transparent box are 10x bead ‘rings’ that have 10 beads on each. These ‘rings’ represent 1 ten each(or they could be 1 hundredth if using for decimal renaming) and each bead represents 1 (or 1 thousandth if representing decimals). The Place Value Renaming Box is the perfect resource for modelling renaming with your class in a concrete representation. Dimensions: Box Length 37cm x Width 17cm- Inside transparent boxes with write on labels (6㎤)
