PraxiKidy Place Value Dry Erase Flash Cards – 12 Pack, 9x12 Inches, Double-Sided for Regrouping Practice

These dry-erase place value charts from PraxiKidy give students a hands-on way to work with numbers up to the thousandths place. Each card in this 12-pack measures 9 by 12 inches and features a place value grid on one side for writing numerals and drawing base-ten blocks, plus a regrouping workspace on the reverse for addition and subtraction. Designed for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade classrooms or homeschool, they help children visualize the regrouping process before moving to the standard algorithm.

How does the double-sided design support learning?

One side shows a place value chart labeled to the thousandths place. Students can write a number in digits and also draw a visual representation using thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones blocks. The other side provides a dedicated area for adding or subtracting one-, two-, or three-digit numbers using regrouping. This layout lets children see the connection between the concrete blocks and the written algorithm, making the borrowing and carrying steps clearer.

What grade levels benefit from these cards?

The cards align with early elementary math standards. In Year 1, kids can use them to recognize numbers and compare values (equal to, more than, less than) by placing objects or drawing. By Year 2, the focus shifts to two-digit place value (tens and ones). In Year 3, students practice three-digit place value (hundreds, tens, ones) and solve addition and subtraction problems with regrouping. Teachers also find them useful for small group work with students who need extra support.

Visual learning with color-coded place values

Each place value column on the card is assigned a different bright color. This color coordination helps students quickly locate the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands positions. Whether they are writing digits or drawing blocks, the consistent color scheme reinforces the concept that each column represents a different power of ten. The cards are also sized to allow placement of actual base-ten manipulatives on top of the drawings, giving a tangible dimension to the lesson.

Tips for using these workmats effectively

• Use dry-erase markers only. Write on the laminated surface and wipe clean with a dry cloth or eraser. The cards erase without leaving residue.
• Keep a set in each student's desk for quick access during math lessons. They can pull them out to show their work and thinking.
• For group tasks, have students work in pairs: one writes the number, the other draws the blocks, then they switch roles.
• Pair with physical base-ten blocks for a multi-sensory approach. Students can place blocks on the card instead of drawing them.

Frequently asked questions

Can students place actual base-ten blocks on the cards?

Yes. The place value side is designed so that standard base-ten blocks (units, rods, flats) can be placed directly on the sections for thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. This allows a tactile experience without drawing.

How do you clean the cards after use?

Wipe the surface with a dry cloth or a standard eraser. The dry-erase coating allows marks to be removed easily, and the laminated paper holds up well to repeated erasing.

What is the maximum number of digits students can practice?

On the place value side, numbers can be written up to the thousandths place (four digits). On the regrouping side, the workspace supports addition and subtraction of one- to three-digit numbers.
