Place value 2

___ ___ . ___ ___

Learners take it in turns to roll a 0–9 die to generate 4 digits each and then write each digit on one of the empty placeholders. Learners should tell their partner the digit they are placing and the value it has. For example, if a learner rolled a 3 and placed it in the tenths place, they would say, ‘I’m putting my 3 in the tenths place, it is worth 3 tenths’.

The other learner then rolls the die and repeats the process. Once a learner has placed a digit, they cannot move it. Once both learners have filled all of their placeholders, they compare their numbers and the player with the highest number wins.
