In 5th grade we learned about place value by using skittles. Each skittle was worth 1 unit. We discovered that 10 was an easy number to package them up into and count up easily. The students are hard at work putting those packages of 10 together. They called a package of 10 - tenlets. When we put 10 of those together, we got onehundrefiers. :) We got so good that we kept going on to thousandators and beyond. . .
