Place Value Battle
Place Value Battle
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.
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:
2. Pupils aim to make the number with the least value using the digit cards.
