The place value game
Duration: 5:22
Game by Professor Dianne Siemon
Instructions (select arrow)
Take turns to throw 2 x 0-9 sided dice (or spin your spinner).
Use the numbers you roll to create a 2-digit number, for example a 5 and a 2 could be recorded as 25 or 52.
Record your number somewhere along the path from 0 and 100.
Numbers must be placed in order from 0 – 100, so you must think carefully about the best place to put your number.
If numbers cannot be placed, you miss your turn.
Continue taking turns to roll the dice, creating numbers and filling in the pathway on the game board.
The winner is the first to fill all of the places!
Explain why you chose to create a particular number. For example, when you rolled 5 and 2, why did you choose to create 52 instead of 25?
What thinking did you do to decide where to place numbers on the game board?
A game that is close to finishing
Imagine you have a space available between 34 and 41.
What are all of the possible numbers that could be placed on those two spaces?
What are you hoping to roll to fill it?
What numbers, if any, could you make where you know exactly where to put them almost every time?
Which numbers are they?
Where would you put them? Why?
If you were to play this game again, what would you do differently? Why?
Challenge!
Use the same game board with two different coloured markers. The winner is the person who fills in the most numbers or who fills in the final place on the pathway.
