You will need either 2 sets of 0 to 9 digit cards or dice and a recording sheet. Use the cards or dice to build a number using the place value chart and expanded form to compare two players numbers.
The object of the game is to write 2, 3, or 4 digit numbers from smallest to largest. Each player creates a recording sheet. They take turns rolling the number cubes and deciding how to arrange the numbers to create a new number. After stating the number, the player decides where to write the number on the recording sheet. If a player is not able to write a number in an empty square, the player loses a turn. Play continues until one player has filled in the recording sheet and proves that the numbers are in sequence from smallest to largest.
Students use this sheet for recording answers to math task cards below. Teacher can also fill in the blanks with more specific center activities for students to complete during the week.
