Skills:Place value

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

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?
