place value

I teach fourth grade, but we do place value at the beginning of the year. I played a game that allows the children to write on their desk with dry erase markers.(it wipes off...I promise:) ) I use a deck of cards and use| the Ace card as the number 1 and throw out the face cards. All other cards are card value. I tell the students to draw 6 small lines on their desk(put comma between right lines) Before I start the game I tell them I want them to make a biggest number or smallest number they can make with the numbers I am calling out. I randomly draw a card and tell the students to place that number | |
on one of the lines(let them pick) I do this until all students have their six digit number. For example, 123,456 or 986,321. I have them write their number on the board and we are able to compare, order, and talk about each number they make up. By the end of the activity they are really good at figuring out where to place the numbers. They love it!
I hope you are able to understand this game. :)
