Place value: reSolve garden

This sequence of 5 tasks explores the idea that 10 ones are equal to a unit of 1 ten. Students explore through the context of a garden as Mr Sprout the gardener packs and plants his seeds. Students have multiple experiences of stacking, of grouping, and of bundling as they make sense of this idea. Professional learning for teachers is integrated throughout the sequence.
