Place Value
By Kay Lynn

I play a game like the one described above but
with a die. If we are making a four digit number,
the students draw four lines on their
dry eraser marker boards. I will roll the die, five times. The students are allowed one pass. They must place each of four rolls in a place on their boards. The student(s) with the greatest number wins a small prize (like a Tootsie Roll) and becomes the "die tosser" for the next round. The students not only learn place value, but probability; (How many numbers on a die are greater than 5..should I take it as a thousand or take a chance that a 6 will be rolled?)

For variation, we play for the "smallest" number and/or add place value digits to keep us on our toes! It's noisey, but fun!! Remember always, allow one pass; (making a 6-digit number..then roll 7 times).
