Fall Place Value Game

Description

This cooperative math game gives your 2nd or 3rd grade students a chance to practice place value skills in an incredibly fun and engaging way! Students will need to demonstrate numbers in standard, expanded and word form to earn pathway tiles and get the prize winning pumpkin back to the pumpkin patch. In addition to all of the game components, a recording sheet and answer key have also been included.

I am an avid player of board games and in creating this game I had two main priorities. First, it was important to me that students would have an abundance of practice in place value. Second, I wanted to create a game that was engaging enough that even without the place value practice, students would be motivated to play and re-play because the game was enjoyable in and of itself!

• Teacher Instructions

• Student Recording Form

To play the game students spin a spinner which either directs them to choose a place value card or place an obstacle. If the students spin “draw” they will draw a card and all independently solve the problem. They will then need to come to a team consensus around the answer. If they are correct, they will earn a pathway tile and will be on their way back to the pumpkin patch… but if they are incorrect more obstacles will be placed in their path.

Even when students earn pathway tiles, they will need to use strategy to place them correctly so that they can make it to the pumpkin patch. Again, as a board game player, it is important to me that the game be enjoyable and playable- I have worked hard to balance the game so that it is winnable… but not every single time! Your students will have to solve the problems carefully and place their pieces strategically in order to win!

This game is also included in the 2nd Grade Place Value Bundle if you are in search of other math games, centers and worksheets!
