Lesson 7
Activity: Place Value Card Game
Directions:
In this game, each player will be creating a number. Remove all face cards from the deck and Aces=1. Decide together what place value you will be going to (tenths, hundredths, thousandths). Next, deal out the amount of cards you need to make a number that big! Then, construct the biggest number you can out of the numbers you have been dealt. *Don't forget to use something to represent the decimal point! Finally, compare your numbers and determine whose was bigger (>,<,=). To enhance the game, you can ask about your student's place values. For instance, ask: "What number do you have in your hundredths place?" "What is the value of that number?" The student should recognize that 3 in the hundredths place is worth .03 or three hundredths!
