Description

Structured place value intervention for 1st grade — build tens and ones understanding, comparing numbers (>, <, =) and number sense. Diagnose place value breakdowns and provide targeted small group support without reteaching your whole unit.

For students who:

• default to counting by ones

• compare digits instead of quantities

• freeze when models change

This system shows you exactly what to do next.

This is not extra practice.
This is structural repair for place value understanding.

⭐ Designed for small group intervention, WIN time, co-teaching, and RTI/MTSS documentation.

Quickly identify whether the breakdown is:

  • Unitizing (tens as units)
