MATH

Girls have been introduced to place value charts, using  Base-10 blocks: ones and tens to build two-digit numbers.  When a player has 10 ones or more, the 10 ones may be traded for a "ten". Girls are using the counting on strategy each time they spin and add the new number of ones on the place value chart.
