How to Prepare Place Value Popsicles

  • Decide how many sets you need. A small group of students can share one set by taking turns. You can also make multiple sets.
  • Print the popsicle digit cards, the popsicle number cards, and the digit helper mat. Use card stock and laminate for durability. Cut the cards, as popsicles or rectangles.
  • Make copies of the recording sheet.
