Place value: Lolly shop
This sequence of 6 tasks explores the mathematical idea that '10 of these is equal to one of those'. Students explore through the context of a lolly shop. They work with their own lollies and explore different ways that they might pack them to make it easy to count. The idea of packing ten lollies in a roll and then putting ten rolls into a box is introduced, and as the students make rolls of 10 and then boxes of 10 rolls, the structure of Base 10 blocks emerges out of their mathematical activity. Professional learning for teachers is integrated throughout the sequence.
