Number Maker: A Card Game to Practice Place Value
Got a kid who's tired of worksheets but stuck on place value? Here’s a super fun
game to get in some place value practice!
4. Spend a few minutes sorting through the deck of cards. Remove any face
cards and jokers. Using only the number cards and aces (which in this game, count as ones), shuffle the deck and turn all the
cards face down in a pile. Take turns drawing cards from the pile. Each time a player gets a new number, she should write it in
one of her digit positions. The goal is to make the five-digit number as big as possible.
5. Continue drawing cards until all five place values have been filled in. Then, have each player read her numberaloud. The winner
of the game is the player who creates the largest number.
6. After your child has reached a point of comfort and confidence, discuss game strategy. What place value position is the most
critical in creating the largest (or smallest) number? Which are the best numbers to record in the ten thousands place? In the
ones place?
Try using extra digits—go to six, seven, eight, or even nine places
Change the objective of the game so the goal is to create the smallest number
Include the joker cards to represent “0,” or make them Wild Cards so, if drawn, players can determine their value.
