Place Value CardsThese cards are used for games which teach place value and comparing numbers.

Use the cards which best suit the needs of the children.For example to practice place value to 3 digits or comparing numbers with 3 digits use ones, tens and hundreds cards.To practice comparing decimals numbers to 3 places used tenths, hundredths andthousandths cards.

Preparing the Place Value Cards

Print the cards that you require, printing each set on a different colored stock card. Cutinto cards and laminate if desired. If several players or teams are playing it may be

necessary to use 2 copies of each set.

Games to Play With Place Value CardsThese games can be played with 2-4 players or teams.
