Place value battle (3rd and 4th Class)

Resources: Place value grid, 0-9 number cards (0-9 die)

Strands: Place value

Activity: Each pair of pupils has a place value grid and a set of number
cards 0-9. They take it in turns to select a number card, which are all face
down on the table, and each player must decide where to place the
digit card. The person who makes the greatest number wins.

Questions: Why did you place the ‘2’ there?


If you selected ’1’ where would you ideally like to place it?

Challenge Questions:

• If your partner selects the nine first and places it in the thousands col-
umn can you still beat him? Why /why not?

• Your partner has already picked the digit ‘8’ card and placed it in
the hundreds column—can you still beat him? How?

Variations:

1. Pupils could have two of each digit card.

2. Pupils aim to make the number with the least value using the digit cards.
