Puzzles are a great way to learn. I love adding them in when I can. a few years ago we did a double-digit adding puzzle<\/a> and we loved it. I thought it would be fun to change this up for another type of math: place value.<\/p>\n

Today’s scarecrow themed place value puzzles are a great way to work on taking numbers in word form and writing them in standard form. Then doing a puzzle that matches.<\/p>\n

This is also a part of scarecrow week<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The set has a puzzle mat that can be used with both puzzles. It has the space to put the puzzle on. I have laminated<\/a>\"\" the page and put wall putty<\/a>\"\" in the corners. It helps the puzzle stay in place as they make it.<\/p>\n
