About this resource
Description
Place value tells us how much each digit in a number is worth. In 245, the 2 means two hundreds, the 4 means four tens, and the 5 means five ones. The Place Value Party Place Value Activity turns that big idea into a hands-on game, so 1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade students can see and touch the value of every digit.
Students spin a printed 0 to 9 spinner three times to make a three-digit number. They find the base-ten card that shows each digit, then lay the cards on the Hundreds, Tens and Ones places of the Party Mat. A zero means that place stays empty, which is a great talking point. Last, they record the digits, the number and its expanded form on the Party Planner. Younger players can spin two times and build tens and ones only.
What’s Included
- A cover page and a How to Use page with simple steps
- 27 base-ten cards: 1 to 9 hundreds flats, 1 to 9 tens rods and 1 to 9 ones cubes
- A 0 to 9 Party Spinner (just add a paper clip and a pencil)
- A Party Mat with a place for each card
- A Party Planner recording sheet
- A 2nd Grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys: a card list, a sample planner and the practice key
Why It Helps Kids Learn
First, base-ten models make the value of each digit visible, so students stop seeing 307 as just a 3, a 0 and a 7. Second, writing every number in expanded form links the model to the written number. Third, the spinner makes every round a new number, so practice stays fresh and fun.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 2nd grade base 10 activity in a math center, with a small group, or as a warm-up before a place value lesson. Laminate the cards and the mat for many rounds. Ask students to read each number aloud, compare two numbers they built, or tell a partner which digit is worth the most. The Place Value Party Place Value Activity also works well at home for quick review.
