(I bought a pack of 20 at the dollar store). For a group of 3, playing to the hundred thousands, you will need 18 cups. The number of cups you need depend on the number of students playing, and how high you wish your numbers to go. Label each cup with a digit from 0-9 (I used a sharpie for this, and I wrote the digit on both sides of the lip). You need styrofoam cups (or any cups with a lip so you can write a digit on the lip). Look at your smallest number, what is digit is bigger, the digit in the hundredths place, or the digit in the thousandths place, why? Which digit has the greatest value?.How many tenths does the largest number have? How many tenths does the smallest number have?.Write it as your largest number and smallest number. This time, write your number using a decimal and include a tenths, hundredths, and thousandths place. Which rounded number is bigger? Which number has the biggest hundred? Which number has the biggest ten? Why? Round the largest number to the nearest hundred. Using the original numbers, round the smallest number to the nearest thousand.With those four cards, build the largest number and smallest number.Draw four cards where Jack is a 0 and A is a 1 (take out Q, 10, and K cards).Links to the Activities Used at the Workshop Links to Websites with Online Interactive Games, Activities, or Videos The short workshop focused on the topic of Place Value for grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.
