I brought back a fun and festive activity I did last year with my kids: Place Value Jack O' Lanterns! The kids had so much fun. Every student got their own number (modified based on abilities). I provided them with most of the cutouts to save time (they had to cutout their own circles). I used an old ice cream tub top for the pumpkin shape and made a semi - circle cutout for the mouth using black construction paper. Three triangles for the eyes/nose and they were able to make"tens and ones" teeth appropriate for the jack o' lantern. Click the picture below for the freebie recording sheet!
After they completed the project, I chose 2 students at a time and we compared our jack o' lanterns (they just had a ball thinking about which one "Alligator" was going to eat) and then I would choose 3-4 students at a time to order their jacks from greatest to least and least to greatest! We had so much fun with this activity.
