Base ten starter set

Units, tens and hundreds place value game

 Use this game to help students understand basic place value. The student needs a copy of this worksheet, a dice and some place value pieces such as the Learning resources pack available on Amazon by clicking the link below the worksheet picture.
The student rolls the dice and puts down as many unit pieces as the number on the dice. Then they roll again and add on this many unit pieces. Once they reach ten, they need to remove the ten unit pieces and replace them with a ten block. This keeps going until they reach hundred.
The student can write down their running total in the boxes provided to see the link between the numerical form and what it means.
