How to play
Teacher states and displays a number up to 1 billion.
Students read the number and partition the number on whiteboards or in workbooks.
Students use physically active movements to show the value of each digit in the number:
Billions - arm dips
Millions - sit ups
Thousands - push ups
Hundreds - star jumps
Tens - squats
Ones - High knees
If the number was 1234, students would complete 1 push ups, 2 star jumps, 3 squats and 4 high knees.
Encourage students to partition the number in as many non-standard forms as possible, eg. 12 star jumps, 3 squats and 4 high knees.
