Mathematical modelling plays a crucial role in modern education by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and quantitative reasoning skills necessary for navigating today's complex world. This paper explores how integrating the Wheel of Place Value and Value into mathematical modelling pedagogy enhances students' understanding of numerical systems and enriches their modelling efforts. The Wheel of Place Value and Value acts as a tangible representation of numerical hierarchy, offering students a visual and interactive tool to comprehend the importance of place value and the intrinsic value of digits within numbers. Results from using the wheel with third-grade elementary students indicate a deeper understanding of the relationship between place value and numerical value, resulting in improved skills in number representation and sequencing.
