About this resource
Description
Place value is the idea that a digit’s spot in a number tells its value, and this rainbow place value activity turns it into a St. Patrick’s Day matching game. Children match a pot of gold showing a two-digit number to the card that shows the same tens and ones. It is made for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade.
About This Activity
The pack has 24 cards: twelve Pot of Gold cards with a number on each and twelve Tens and Ones cards with a base-ten model and words such as “4 tens 7 ones.” Some numbers use the same digits, like 47 and 74 or 18 and 81, so children must look at which digit is in the tens place before they make a match. Print, cut on the dashed lines, and play at a math center or in a small group. A How to Use page gives simple steps, and a practice worksheet asks children to count tens and ones and write the number.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with prep tips, steps and extension ideas
- 12 Pot of Gold number cards
- 12 Tens and Ones cards with base-ten models
- A 1st Grade practice worksheet: count tens and ones, write the number
- Answer keys for the matching pairs and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Matching a number to a base-ten model shows what each digit is worth.
- Look-alike pairs such as 23 and 32 stop guessing and build careful thinking.
- A hands-on card game keeps practice fun and active.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this kindergarten base 10 activity in March as a math center, a partner game or a quick small-group check. Turn the cards face down for a memory game, or ask children to put the pots in order from least to greatest. Older students can say each number in expanded form, such as 40 + 7. At home, the rainbow place value activity makes a festive game for a family math night.
