Educators, the odometers mentioned in this activity do not have to be used, but they are a useful tool to use throughout the year. If you and your class would like to make them, you can find a link to the activity here: https://bit.ly/2EIJvTq Also, we use Montessori stamps at school, but you can substitute these for MAB or your preferred concrete materials. Lastly, I use different coloured 10-sided dice to represent place values higher then 1000s and lower than 1s.
