Easy to setup
An easy way to introduce value to a room is to create a place value game. Label each box with the place value it represents, including thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Next, draw number cards onto the tape to represent numbers.
This game can be enjoyed by children of all abilities and ages. It helps children make connections between abstract numbers, real world and other things. It helps pupils to build confidence in visualizing numbers and improve their mental calculation skills.
Fun to play
This fun place value game can be used to introduce number placement to children. Each player selects a number and matches it to the number on a mat. The challenge gets more complicated as the kids add decimal number to the mix. Counters can be used by children to count the days of school and build up the numbers over time.
This game encourages students to get up from their desks, and work together on finding the place value. The students then use a key for each number to find the letter that corresponds to it. Students can play the game alone, with a partner, or in a small group.
Helps children understand concept of value
Use money as a visual tool to teach place values to your children. Most children can understand that ten pennies are equal to one dime. So you can use that concept for explaining place value. Using money as a visual teaching tool also allows you to use groups of values.
It is important for children to understand place value when working with large numbers. It helps them to understand the reasoning behind all four operations and makes it much easier for them to come up with the correct answer. Children can quickly learn how to solve problems with methods such as column, bus stop and column. Each method involves looking at each digit individually, understanding the impact of the place value on the result, and then analyzing the whole thing.
For older children
This place value game demands concentration and speed. Older children may order the pins to produce the highest number. A deck of playing cards, UNO, WILD, and number cards are required. It works best when you have larger numbers. This activity is best for students who can add and subtract digits.
You can either set up a large area of play or use a grid with random multidigit numbers. Use a verbal prompt to get students to hop to the correct number. They can mix it up by hopping on one side or crawling on the other. You can introduce this place value game in a summer-themed unit or you can do it on its own.
Great for home practice
Place value games are a great way to reinforce the concepts of place value. They are also a great way to teach students how to recognize and remember numbers and their relationships. This game also reinforces the concept that numbers on the left of a number line are smaller than those on the right. The student must move along the board to cover the number at the center.
Home can also be used to play the place value game. You can draw a large area with chalk and add random multi-digit numbers to it. The students can hop to the correct number verbally by prompting them. Students can also use pom poms to represent tens or ones, or wooden craft sticks for numbers.
