Easy to setup
A place value game can be created by using a grid of painter's tape on the floor. Each box should be labeled with the place value it represents. This could include thousands, hundreds, tens or ones. Next, draw number cards onto the tape to represent numbers.
This game is appropriate for all ages and abilities. It helps children make connections between abstract numbers, real world and other things. It also develops pupils' confidence in partitioning and visualising numbers and speeds up their mental calculations.
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 becomes more difficult as kids add decimal numerals to the mix. Children can also count the days of school with counters, adding more numbers as the years progress.
This game encourages students to get up from their desks, and work together on finding the place value. They use a key in order to determine which letter corresponds to each number. The game can be played by students alone, with a partner or in small groups.
Children learn about place value.
One of the best ways to teach kids place value is to use money as a visual teaching tool. It is common for children to understand that ten pennies equals a dime. Therefore, you can use that concept when explaining place value. You can also use money visually to teach different values.
It is important for children to understand place value when working with large numbers. It helps children understand why the four operations are performed and makes it easier to determine the answer. Children can learn to solve problems easily by using methods such the column method and bus stop method. All of these involve looking at each individual digit individually and understanding how place value affects the total result.
Great for older children
This place value game demands concentration and speed. Older children may order the pins to produce the highest number. You will need three number cards and a deck with playing cards, UNO or WILD cards. Larger numbers work best for this activity. This activity is best for students who can add and subtract digits.
You can create a large playing surface or use random multi-digit numbers to form a grid. Use a verbal prompt to get students to hop to the correct number. They may also be able to mix their actions such as hopping on one leg or crab walking. 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 can be a great way for students to reinforce concepts such as place value. They help students remember and recognize numbers and their relationships. This game reinforces the notion that numbers on one side of a numberline are smaller than ones on the other. The student must move along the board to cover the number at the center.
A place value game can also be used at home. With chalk, a large playing area can be created. A grid of random multidigit numbers can then be added. Students can practise hopping to the correct numbers by asking them verbally. A second variation is for students to use pompoms to represent tens, ones, and wooden craft sticks or to represent numbers.
FAQ
Is it better to be a specialist in one subject than in another?
Many students opt to specialize in one area (e.g. English History, Math) and not branch into many other subjects. However, it's not always necessary to specialize. If you're interested in becoming an internist or a surgeon, you have the option to choose either surgery or internal medicine. Or, you could choose to become a general practitioner specializing in pediatrics, family practice, gerontology, psychiatry, or neurology. You could focus on sales, marketing, finance, research, and management if you are interested in a career in business. The choice is yours.
How do I select my major?
Students choose their majors based upon their interests. Some students prefer to major in a subject they enjoy doing because they will find this easier than studying something else. Others are interested in a career where there are few jobs. Others choose a major to make money while they study. Whatever your reasons, you should consider what kind of job you might like after graduation.
There are many avenues to find information about various fields of study. You can talk to family members or friends about your experiences in these areas. Check out newspapers and magazines for possible careers. Talk to your guidance counselor at school to learn more about possible careers. Visit the Career Services section of your local library.
